Tough crowd I'm telling ya - Rodney Dangerfield.

That's a good looking jacket! I was kinda thinking your ugly mug might actually be wearing it though?

Somethings wrong with a house that doesn't have 60W Kendell stains on the dining room floor.

Wash it well, the roads here were just sprayed and salted less than a week ago.

My old motocross buddy Tim posted some pics of his Marine Corps tribute bike he built a few years ago. Amazing what this guy can do.

Reminds me of the time I took my bike up to the 8th floor of Jones Hall at Indiana State. Circa 1988.

It ain;t really a Harley until it has a separate transmission.

Wrong.
Close... but still wrong...

Yamaha YSR 50.
Wish I still had it. Fun little thing, and they're going for stupid money these days.
My "somebody might steal it" excuse didn't fly.
That and the fact that I was doing laps with it... lol.

All the little ones are good money now.

Want opinions on a paint change.​

I know what I want, (well sort of) and I think I've got this one figured out, but I thought I'd give the ole interwebs a chance to chime in.

My bike is a '96 FLSTN. I do love the old classic 2 tone paint, and that is one of the reasons I got this particular bike... but now I'm having second thoughts.
The Mystique Green and Platinum Silver look good when standing next to it, but here more and more I'm noticing something. From the side... the silver kinda washes it out, blending in a bit too much with the chrome. Not much contrast like plain old black and chrome.

As she sits now...





To further exasperate the problem, I've been hauling our VFW "Some Gave All" raffle bike around to gun shows selling tickets. The black bike, on a black trailer, behind a black suburban really looks like a nice set up. Like rich people and their custom boats.

Plans are to have the silver parts done over in black. Something along these lines. (excuse my poor computer art skills)






I love it, and I'm 90% sure that's what I'm gonna do, just wondering if the crowd is thinking the same or not.
Don't often see a 2 tone bike where one of the colors is black.
To me, it makes the chrome pop much more, and I'd still have that real cool Mystique Green on the top which is pretty dark.

What say INGO on the matter?

The Green/silver is a unique look. Black and chrome are classic. If I were going to the effort I would go all black or leave it Green/silver. I like Black/chrome myself.
