D, I've got one of those that is pretty damn fine for doing wax. I bet your car looks good! I told you a wax would help it!

I've never had any luck with a power buffer, I always see swirls and I hate those, so I do it by hand

Guy cut me off and slammed on his brakes today while I was on the Duc.....damage is purely cosmetic and the worst is on the fairing mids so she'll probably end up just being 1/4 faired now....
fuch I'm sore....

For the song plagerize "Look on the brighter side of life" from the Python movie The Life of Brian. It's a sing along too.

I get less swirls on dark paint that has a tendency to show swirls when I use a buffer for both the cleaner and the polish.

Saw a commercial for a buffer that doesn't swirl. It's called a BuffPro…



An NO, it isn't a high powered toilet paper dispenser.

I thought the goal of most drivers was to run lone motorcycle riders off the road and that's why you always ride in groups of two or more.

The bike isn't bad, but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to go to 1/4 fairing rather than try to fix that mid fairing



My thigh is really freaking buggin me now, no surface visible injuries but it is wickedly sore. I'm expecting to see some nice deep tissue bruising there tomorrow...

Got some more work done of the redesign of the airboat, it's about 3.5 inches wider which should help with stability. All the wood is marine epoxy resin coated, some gnarly stuff and wickedly strong. I think I could back all the screws out and it'd hold together just fine.

I'll probably get the engine mounted up tomorrow and shore up trimming that into alignment

Well then, it's time for a happy pill......assuming I can make it down the stairs, seems like every time I stand up the leg is a bit more sore
