Let the record show...


...that Harley riders are bigger pussies than scooter riders. Yes I said it.

This pic was taken from yesterday morning. The temps were in the 50s, it was cloudy, and rain was on the way. Did it stop me from taking a little spin? Hell no!

These 5 or 6 scooters all rolled in for breakfast - most of them were probably 30 yrs old or more. I have to give those guys a big thumbs up.

Yeah -it was a crappy morning but I had to get out. I wasn't the only one, probably a dozen or more people showed up.. and only one of them was a Harley. We all know what that bike's owner had planned for the day - cleanin chrome!

Season ain't over yet!!!!

It's always something....



In hopes that the rain might hold off for tomorrow morning, I figured I'd get the bike ready for a little ride. The temps have dropped significantly in the last week so it's time to make the switch to the taller windscreen for the remainder of the season.

My fuel guage light has been burned out and it can't be accessed w/o removing the windscreen - so I guess here's my chance to take care of it.

Having never ventured in this area of the bike I didn't know if this job was going to be a simple one or a PITA. I took a look and voila - one simple screw and the guage cup pops off. I knew having those stubby screwdrivers would come in handy one day.

Pulled the bulb holder out and popped out the bulb... dang, this sucker is tiny! Hmmm - it's barely 9pm - Walmart is open so I hopped in the car in search for the bulb. Bahh.. of course they don't have it. Everywhere else is closed.. oh well.


Everything was buttoned back up thinking the morning ride will happen.. but I think Mother Nature has other plans.
