It's official. You're OLD!

Love Uma's tho, and the UC's are nothing to scoff at, perfectly balanced and nice machines...

Im surprised she didnt kick your butt for putting miles on her new toy!

The hair tie/rubberband trick is more effective and way less expensive. Its useful enough to give my hand a break on long trips, just doesnt hold steady...

That nightster is begging for some black pipes!



Just know that even with the quiet baffles, the sideshots are *loud*

But those are V&H and I'll never own another set of V&H!

Rode again today... only about 50 miles and hit a little rain in my travels. Never felt a drop on the UC but the bike itself is good n dirty... oh well... will just give her a bath in the next couple days...

Also, starting working on the nightster tonight... got some of the stuff on it. Pipes are on and oh my... they sound even better on this version.

I'm coming around on those Nightsters. I really don't like the dust boots though.

You know someone with 20 years experience installing throttlemeisters and he couldn't get it right? Maybe he should look into another business...J/k

Well,I'll look at it during the rally if you want and I'll try to remember to bring some of the spacers,etc that come with it. There's an art to it,mine works perfect.

I just read thru this entire thread... I'm in shock GasMan... I can't believe you got rid of the Chopper. Nice bikes though.

BTW... I myself have a cruiser now...but I won't make an entire thread of making people guess what it is. Ahh the joy of two bikes is awesome!
