Heyyy,, Sandman,, you still out there?? Is this some of your doings?? NICE BIKE!!

Wassup Sandy,, long time no have seen!! Gettin any early ridin in good buddy? Noticed this 99 on Craigs - located over in your direction,, first thing thru my mind was "wonder if that has anything to do with my buddy"... Never know till ya ask.. Good deal!! If I werent in the middle of getting our beat up ol 83 ready for travelin (tweekin on Tweeks) and BURIED with other work I would shoot over and take a look at this thing just for kicks,,,, maybe if it warms up a little I will anyway..

We ride cause love to!!

Puc

Not a bad looking bike PUC, get after it and get over there to take a peek. I can tell you that you'd probably be very surprised at how much more comfortable a ride it is for you and your bride 0.02

Yeaaa,, but then how would "Tweeks" (my 83) feel,, bikes have feelings too ya know... Everytime I walk past the old girl she just screams at me,, come on Puc,, I gotta nuther 100k left in me,,, come on,, think of all the fun the 3 of us have had,,, come on,,, you an I are best friends, meeerember last year when ya ask me if I had one more left in me fore we took off for da summer,,, tellin ya,, I gotta nuther one left,, just give me a chance...

Tellin ya Squid,,, its a terrible terrible corner I got myself painted into,, just terrible... I got buddies with BIG dollar new HD's (gorgeous bikes) that wont ride with me cause of that old beat up ol scar faced Tweeks... Park er at a rally she has to sit all by herself, people cold shoulder her all the time...

I picked up a pretty good running 87 "parts" bike over the winter,, got er fired up - RUNS STRONG... Started putting some time into "preppin" it for the summer thinking I could pull the wool over Tweeks eyes,,, found myself all of a sudden tweeking on Tweeks (addiction) while I was suppose to be working on this new one - like a big magnet I am drawn to her - must be love ,,, pretty soon the new one is sitting there with covers off and I am over tweekin on Tweeks instead...

Hey Puc

I was just thinking, looking at those great pictures you posted.........Everytime you pull over to the side of the road, just for a break or something......Other bikes must stop and see if you need a hand with "Tweeks"......ah, um, appearance...yes that's a nice way of saying it! Her impression of roadworthiness.......must sucker a lot of good samaritans in! To help the poor broken down homeless guy.....

She starting to enter the realm of "Rat Rod" which is way Kwel....

Puc,

That's why motorcycles are better than women.

If you get a newer model, they don't really care if you ride it. Just so long as you ride the old one once in a while.

Ummm, this is referring to the motorcycles, not the women. Women aren't like that.

:rotf::rotf:

Actually,, :rotf:,, you aint so far from wrong Tooch,, its amazing how many people have stopped when we have ran out of gas, had flat tires, and yea,, even just takin a snooze in the ditch :rotf: never even occurred to me thats what was going on :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Heres another really good one,, year before last Tippy and I are coming home from the Sturgis Rally,, guy (name was Dennis from San Diego) was sitting on the side of I-90 in the ditch with his Harley beside the road, I knew he was having trouble (even I dont camp on the shoulder of the Interstates).. Of course, I stopped to help.. Guys all beat red from sitting in the sun,, asked if he was thirsty,, takes my water jug and starts guzzling.. Gets done, gives me hug and says "your the first real biker I have met out here".. I looked back over aT Tippy,, her and I both looked back at Tweeks,, weeds hangin down,, mud all over it from ridin back roads,, stickers holdin it together and we both started :rotf::rotf:at the same time... Guy later said he wasnt making reference to my bike :rotf:,, he was referring to the fact that of all the 100's of bikes going by we were the only ones to stop and see if he was ok... Told him I was just paying it forward,,, than I said,, nope - take it back - think I am still payin it backwards :rotf:

Good on ya on the switch bro - glad they treated ya right - sure sounds like they did!! Doing any good ?? Got any xtra fish for me to smoke?? That sounds really really good,,,, never mind,, aint got time to pay attention much less smoke fish.. How the heck ya fishin with the river so high?? Seems like you'ld be gettin snagged on all those houses/garages and cars floatin by.. Tip's knawin at the bit for me to take her bass fishin,, wont be long now:big-grin-emoticon:

Never even got the breather off that Max,, guy gave me almost what it would have sold for running in non-running condition.. He had been looking for a red one (apparently a hard color to find) for a long time to match a Fazer he owns - collector as it were.. Bummer too cause I at least wanted to go crotch rocket huntin on it a couple times

FINALLY got a little break and been playin with Tweeks today,, did rear end, lubed throttle cables, got brakes cleaned,, got a set of Progressives I am bout half way thru droppin in.. Gotta get that thing wrapped up,, we are going down to the B2's for their rally in May,, heard down yonder ya dont even hafta use a fish pole - parrently they come already cooked, gotta go find out for myself.. Ya oughta sign up and go down there with us,, those suthners are really nice folks!!

Also heard rumors of a bunch of wild Kanoocks havin a get together bout a week after B2 Mom and Dads that we are probably gonna raid.. Looks like they are even closer (bout 6 hours ride time) than B2's if ya wanna do an afternoon ride with us..

Tip says hey and so does Tweeks!!

Puc

I like ya Puc but when I see your bike with that extra platform on the back and that roll of extra stuff you're carrying back there and the general overloaded conditions of it I can't help thinking of the pictures of asian people trying to carry way too much stuff on their little mopeds and such.

I wouldn't want you to park next to me for fear that a bunch of that stuff would fall over onto my bike and give it an overloaded appearance too. Your front wheel must just kind of float over the road with all that counter-weight behind the rear wheel.

:rotf:

Yea, BUT,,, take a look at the first picture and count the ducks that are smiling,,, with that many smiling faces on one motorcycle how could I not wanna pack like I do:rotf::rotf:

On a side note,,, if I were one of those ducks I would want to be the bottom duck who is

riding with his head upside down about an inch off the pavement,, never road like that before but it sure looks like fun:rotf::rotf:

And on another side note,,,, having Tweeks throw stuff at your bike when parked next to her is the least of your worries,,, I would be more worried bout her peeing on ya - cantankerous old relic if there ever was one,,,,,got a good heart though......

Yeaaa,, but then how would "Tweeks" (my 83) feel,, bikes have feelings too ya know... Everytime I walk past the old girl she just screams at me,, come on Puc,, I gotta nuther 100k left in me,,, come on,, think of all the fun the 3 of us have had,,, come on,,, you an I are best friends, meeerember last year when ya ask me if I had one more left in me fore we took off for da summer,,, tellin ya,, I gotta nuther one left,, just give me a chance...

Tellin ya Squid,,, its a terrible terrible corner I got myself painted into,, just terrible... I got buddies with BIG dollar new HD's (gorgeous bikes) that wont ride with me cause of that old beat up ol scar faced Tweeks... Park er at a rally she has to sit all by herself, people cold shoulder her all the time...

I picked up a pretty good running 87 "parts" bike over the winter,, got er fired up - RUNS STRONG...
