We are all to depressed to talk :cry:
Although I just picked up a set of Willie & Max leather like saddlebags for $50. So I am not so depressed anymore. :)

Well I'll talk to you N.H. - Happy New Year. Only 6 more months before I get 2 whole weeks of riding your great mountains. Hang in there guys, spring will come. Just remember when you're riding those cool summer days up there we're swatting bugs the size of baseballs down here.

Wish I could make it up to Lacona just one time, have made the other two biggies. Daytona and Biketoberfest are even getting a little too much. The older I get the less I drink and the less I drink the more I ride. To me most bike weeks are getting to be a 2 mile an hour traffic jam to the next parking lot (if you can find one). I stay down at my uncle's place by Weirs beach, hate to think how long it would take to get to the driveway. Last time I was up I made it to the top of Mount Washington. Learned one thing, that ain't no place for us flat landers. I'd feel safer running triple digets across Alligator Alley at night with no head light. Them big hills are no place for us crackers. If you get down this way, post and I'll see if I can't come up with a few good rides.

Well i gotta admit i don't attempt to climb Mt Washington. I hate heigths. Rather se guard rails when i ride. But if i had to choose i pick the mountains over the snakes and gaters!!!

I will never forget crossing Alligator Ally in teh middle of the night in a little old chevy chevette. I thought running over all of the frogs in the road was an experince until I saw a few gators twisted around after they were run over by a semi.
I don't think I ever got my car totally clean after that. From that point on I started to make the trip over in the mornings.

Thanks Duck, I'll sure do just that. It was 46 down here this morning could only find 4 other guys to ride with me (TOO COLD!!!) We do get spoiled. Hope we're not turning into gurly mons.

its a big bike parts caliper cover, i just have that one becuase the other one was on back order. i just went a different direction becuase i thought it was to big and bought 3 new kury caliper covers that just cover the front. so it will be going up for sale soon along with a bunch of other stuff like stock front and rear directionals with kury bezels, stock risers, stock mirrors and pegs, stock shocks and springs.

Well if anyone wants to brave Mt. Washington, let us know we made the journey this year on the miserable thursday of bike week and this is what it looked like:

Although I did get a cool tour of the observatory and we ended up in laconia and enjoyed the rest of the day.

Hey stranger - doing well on this end, yeah was a great week, the travelling back and forth everyday got old, hoping to make it a couple nights that I can crash, so we can put on our walking boots and have some fun this year.
