I have my wife to thank for the current level of destruction - she said it was silly to just keep taking it apart to do the changes I wanted. Just get it all now, lol!

I'm all over the map on the engine upgrades... I've gone from leaving it stock, to stage I, to stage II, to Fuel Moto 128/130" build. I can talk myself into each option so easily.

Right now I'm on the stage II bandwagon with the HD torque cam. Everything I'm reading about it has been positive from the torque curve, the sound, and keeping the warranty.

Ask me again in ten minutes, and I'll have myself talked into something else.

Went on a nice 250 mile scoot w/ my bro. During this crazy time, it was nice to get in the wind and breath!
I use to smoke my bro when his S&S 124" motor was stock. Now all I see is tail lights. (146 HP & 156 TQ) However this ride we were "good" and actually
only went 5 over the legal limit for the "most" part. Not like this past weekend when we jumping curves and seeing triple digits at times.

Stay Safe, Stay Heathly.

Getting ready to roll.

My bro has 3 different saddle bags, the original stock, stretched bags, and these that have 2 6x9 in each bags w/ artwork. His stereo is as badazz as his motorwork.

Stopped by a another bro's house for a pit stop and a couple of cold ones.

Another 200+ mile day today with Big Red. Windy and colder today.

Hit a milestone and rolled 50k miles.

The Fuel Moto 124” is running so great and smooth. Climbing all around the mountains and twisties, the torque is so effortless.

These photos are near Cripple Creek, CO on CO67. Elevation is about 10,500’.

Lead my club on 300 mile ride today though the hills and curves of East TN. This is a very well mannered bike considering its power level. Very easy and very fun to ride, does well in a group and even more fun when riding with one other well built bike.

Now that the Fugly Road Glide seems to be attacking the Concrete Highway more than ever before. Let's see how you roll.
