I guess the suspension work paid off. I used to have a LOT more lean on the corners.
looking really good!

Bike photos do nothing for me. I just don't have that urge. No donor-cycle for me.

A friend of mine died in high school, driving his motorcycle to school. He was like most teenagers and thought he was invulnerable. He was wrong. That was my first time to know someone that died.

Another friend had to be the most careful motorcycle driver on the planet. He drove his other riding buddies crazy. He almost lost his leg to a stupid red light runner. He walks with a very bad limp now.

I know accidents happen all the time in cars as well. But that steel car body does a lot of protecting.

Different strokes for different folks. I ain't different enough to want to ride a donor cycle. That is just me.

D when I say I am a speed freak I really mean it, I know exactly at what speeds my cars max out at and in Lanna (the lowest number of the bunch) I hit it on a regular basis. Bike+Rick=slurpee

Delivered a 57K lbs track for a crane to a wind mill farm in northern N.H. this morn.
12 miles up a dirt road (read mud...it rained) spun out 3 times and had to back up and try again.
One hill took 3 tries. Can't get a run on them when your in the corner gear just crawling.
Truck and trailer look like i ran them through a swamp.
