BTW....how do you like the saddlemen profiler?

--- same here garage sounds good - on the road I couldn't really tell you honestly, I wear a full face with ear plug in my right ear, and no one really complains, but I can definitely say I hear the exhaust better compared to stock sound.

--- still in transit, anxiously waiting for delivery, I'll let you know as soon as I take my first ride with it.
I'm sure it's better than the stock seat.

Continued the painting of misc. plastic pieces, and touched up the headlight. It stopped raining long enough for the roads to ice over, looks like last week was just a tease...

Thanks for the compliment, 07M50Limited, I dig what you've done with yours too, I've followed along over the last year.

spikes · 03-13-2009, 09:03 PM

First ride of the year!!! 400 km round trip to Port Dover for Friday 13. Learned two things: -3c is cold on the highway and the lumpectamy did SFA for my arse. I think iess than a thousand bikes there today.
Did anybody else go? Saw a few New York plates.

Trigger1985 · 03-13-2009, 09:22 PM

Pulled into my parking space at the end of the day as the odometer rolled to 4k... guess its a sign its time to change oil... got some ideas for turn signals.. Just need to order the parts..

pastorgumby · 03-13-2009, 09:58 PM

Finally legitimized my 50 got new plates, registration, title (yeah i've been riding illegally). I believe that motor vehicle is the greatest fleecing agency in the world!
