Plate's here, Fender's on

[kfc]

Plate showed up yesterday, wired it all up (WITHOUT Herbie [How will it EVER work ???? :shock: ] there to twist wire nuts and mangle masking tape) and installed it last night :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:. Mr. :pepper1: knows most of what was involved with the final installation (THANK YOU for the help :firstplace:) , and even staying 'til around 9:30, he still missed the last 2 hours of it :shock::shock::shock::shock: . Worth every minute, came out pretty sweet :doorag::doorag::doorag::doorag::doorag: . Pics to follow.

[tros66]

So I will see you in Ithaca around 1:30... Cough Cough :twisted:

[Herbie]

Tros ... you are a bad example for da youts of america ..... ride safe... have fun...:joke: I'd join you but i believe i need new tires myself. Looked last night and the tires don't even touch the garage floor... may need bigger ones ... hmmm..http://crapmods.com/phpBB/images/smiles/thinking.gif

[Gentile]

The fender looks GREAT. This guy knows what he's doing that's for sure. And there is no machine, bolt, screw, tool that can beat him. Just stand back and let him go like the tamanian devil. :bowdown::bowdown::lol::lol::congrats::congrats: :pepper1::pepper1:

[kfc]

.......... nor stripped threads, nor broken tap, nor even the carbide bit-resistant outer-friggin-space steel, nothing shall halt the journey forward ................:tools::tools::tools::doorag: :doorag: :doorag: :doorag: :doorag:

[Herbie]

... but can he get partially digested cookies and beer off the garage floor .... ???? :firstplace:

[kfc]

Yeah, but that takes some pretty abrasive cleaners and the water hose. The Bo-who digestive system is still as pedictable as ever :barf::chill:.

[tros66]

Is it legal to have a cardboard plate on....

Or how about just to save cleaning time a Paper Plate....

[Gentile]

Just one question, does this mean we aren't going to wait for the plate at KFC's this week?

[tros66]

Hey Mr. Italian Pecker or... ah I mean pepper. No we do not have to wait any more it it is over.... Sheesh..

[Gentile]

Well then, Mr SLAP BYATCH. Go pick a bale of cotton. :pepper1::pepper1::pepper1:

[tros66]

Jump down Turn around...

...Pick a bale of HAY.... :mrgreen:

[kfc]

Git up, git down, then spin 'em on around ................ How 'bout we go wait at Berbie's for his tires to grow so they hit the floor ???????? Seems like a few days after a waiting party the desired action takes place :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: .

[tros66]

Let's go now.....

[flcowboyiniraq]

Nice Fender I like the lights built in it. Are you going to Lake George?

[kfc]

Yes, several of us are heading to Lake George. Let us know if you'll be up, we'll look for you :doorag: :doorag: :doorag: .

[flcowboyiniraq]

Cool I have a room at the Studio Motel I look foward to meeting all of you. When it get's closer I will post my cell number

[kfc]

Most, if not all, of us are staying at Marine Village on rte. 9. :doorag: :doorag: :doorag:

[Gentile]

This may be a little off topic for right now, but, when you see them you'll understand. I have a couple of pics in photo bucket and am trying to put them on here, but, they don't show up when I click the 'insert image' nutton and put the URL in. Can anyone hep me out????

[Biodude]

when you're making a post in the area right about where you type ther is a little box5th one over from the right, looks like 2 mountain and a yellow sky, goto photobucket, copy the url location then come back here, click that lil box and paste the pic's URL into it, should work. unless the pic is too big of a file then it may not but it'd havew to be pretty big for that

[vtxwhit]

Nice job on the fender, but you need to do something about that little monster between the light and plate.:doorag:

[vtxhobbie]

KFC That is a very cool looking way to mount the plate:thumbup: looks awsome.

by the way is it legal to mount your plate behind the fender :mrgreen: :banghead:

[HOOKY]

looking good dude. Me likey...

[Herbie]

Is that Tros's chair in the background? Never seen it unoccupied before ..... oh .. and is that Tros's backup chair next to it ?? and is that a beer stain on the floor?


...


Oh, nice fender also .... :agree:

[tros66]

Well Herbie I saw you peeking out from behind the curtain today when Gentile and I stopped for some dead meat on the grill....:evil: :evil:

Again you don't answer the door...



Is that any way to treat a fellow Bickerson on his birthday???:dontknow::dontknow::dontknow:

[Herbie]

You said no BDay party ... so I was at my daughter's house for Grandma's BDAY .. 80-something. Then to mass... gone Noon til about 6PM I'd guess. a little nipply out for riding , ain't it? I know kfc wasn't with you cause the red Sled is still under wraps and not all shined up....

..out


P.S. - Gentile, the polished wheels look great .... Shhhhh.....:joke:

[VTX ED]

Tros, Happy Birthday, see you in the mornin for breakfast.

[kfc]

THANK YOU Mr. Gentile for getting the pictures posted :thumbup: . I'll stick to fixin'/ridin' 'em, youse guys can have all da smarts when it comes to 'puter stuff ;) . Fender came out just the way I wanted it to, was worth all of the work after all :doorag: :doorag: :doorag:. Berbie, drop me a line soon so's we can get a look at that other tingy quick like, my free time will be gone after I get my next project home :tools: :tools: :tools: :dontknow: . Oh, and Mr. Hobbie, not sure on how legal it is, can't seem to get a straight answer out of ANYONE here, now can we :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: .

[Gentile]

I believe the ONLY way for it to be legal IN the fender like that is if it's vertical. Time to cut a new whole. :pepper1::pepper1::pepper1:
I HATE 'Puters' would much rather be in a garage working with my hands........ easy now guys!

[tros66]

Party Bus... Oh well it was fun while it lasted... :firstplace: :thumbup: :yikes: :mrgreen:

Hey Gentile... watch what you ask for... it may just come true...

[Russ Ithaca VTX]

Quick question Carl, how is it lighted?

[tros66]

I can answer that question because of course I was lead supervisor through most of the operation. :firstplace:

If you look at the 2 bullet like metal thingies at the top of the plate those are actually license plate bolts and "spray" light over the plate area.... very nice...

Plus he has put the Run, Brake Stop wiring in as well so the taillights and blinkers do all of that as well. KFC has done a great job as usual... :thumbup:

[Russ Ithaca VTX]

That's a true custom mod! Looks fantastic.:thumbup:

[kfc]

Thanks Chief. You of all people can appreciate what a project like this entails :doorag: :doorag: :doorag:.

[Russ Ithaca VTX]

You are correct sir! It's a one-off and currently, no one else has done this. You envisioned it, then executed. Very nice. My fender on the otherhand is someone else's idea; I just copied.

BUT, I'm working on SS side covers to replace the plastic so maybe I'll have my original idea to share.

[kfc]

Very Cool 8) 8) 8) . Look forward to seeing them.

[Herbie]

Who is this 'chief' guy? I vaguely recall the name ... but haven't seen a post in ages....:mrgreen: does he ride?

[Russ Ithaca VTX]

The chief is the guy who's been riding for over 38 years, broken bones and all; possibly Bickerson #1. But he's also the guy who can't respond to posts because of all the inside jokes. Better to be silent than a dumba**.

[Herbie]

Is it just me or is the guy behind the Chief's CTro in his sig pic listing noticeably to the left ????

[bobo116]

Your such a dork... Whom can it be???

[tros66]

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I do believe I just spewed my Moutain Dew all over my desk.....

Nice one there Herbie... :joke: Is it the Beer or that Powerful wind in Ithaca...

[Russ Ithaca VTX]

If I recall, on that day there were those with wrenches in their hands and those with liquid refreshments. :tools::beer3::beer2:There's no smiley for the lean.

[Herbie]

I do believe that Bo-Who is defying at least 2 or 3 laws of physics in that Pic.... Inertia, gravity, etc etc....:thumbup:

[tros66]

And don't forget the Humanality Law that was broken when he was born... :joke:






Sorry Bo-Who couldn't let that one go by...

[Herbie]

Oh ... and the Basic laws of Humidity as well ........:mrgreen:
