Mutual Bliss on a Bike

Description:Mutual Bliss on a Bike
Tuesday May 19, 2009, a day that shall live in infamy. My beau Tex, purchased a 1994 Honda Shadow VLX 600. He had been mentioning to me for months about needing to get another motorcycle. I, never having been into the biker scene said, "no one needs a motorcycle."
To say he was happy doesn't begin to describe his joy when he bought this motorcycle. I could hear the ear to ear smile in his voice, when he called me and he sounded positivly ebullient. First of all it's in darn near mint condition. The previous and only owner took really good care of it. Second it's blue, his favorite color. Third, and maybe I'm biased; but he looks darned fine sitting astride that bike. Did I mention it didn't need any work? He spent half the next morning polishing chrome that was already shining. He changed the spark plugs but apparently they didn't really need it. He mentioned maybe adjusting the idle.
I had to apologize to him the next day for not showing the proper amount of enthusiasm when he called. Though to be fair it was 1:30 AM and I had been asleep for 2 hours already. Wednesday night I surprised him by meeting him outside the local Target, and he was still smiling. He gave me a ride around the parking lot and I have to say I liked it. I'm not sure what I was expecting; but it was a pleasurable experience that reminded me a little bit of the freedom I feel when skiing, added bonus: being close to my man. So there we sat, in the Waffle House, grinning at each other like fools because we had fallen in love with a motorcycle. I can honestly say I felt blissful even the next day, he could hear it in my voice on the phone twelve hours later.
Just what is it about motorcycles that produces that blissed out feeling?
FWIW: Never tell your beau that his dimples make him look too cute to be a bad a## biker dude. LOL - Blog post

Description:
2004 Honda Indian Scout 745 ......; The Indian Scout Motorcycle was born in 1920 and was the brainchild of Charles B. Franklin. In 1927 the Indian Scout Motorcycle, initially with a 596 cc (37ci) engine was bored out to 745 cc (45ci), and was Indian's most important model. The 1928 Scout 101 was and is regarded as Indian's best handling if not best-ever motorcycle. The Scout 101 won many races and it and the later Sport Scout which came out in 1934 and Standard Scout in 1936, were often hopped up for racing and street-fighting. Models of 1934 featured Indian's famous head-dress logo on the gas tank. Indian's huge Springfield, Mass. factory was known as the Wigwam, and native American imagery was much used in advertising. The Indian Scout went out of production after 1945. Ironically, Soichiro Honda rode a 101 Scout for a number of years and it inspired him to build motorcycles. The theme for this Honda Motorcycle is (Honda Indian Scout 745) it has a 745cc (45ci) 52 degree V-twin motor with, 3-valves and 2-plugs per jug, a single pin crank, single 1.34in. carb, two into one headers. The part's put on this Honda motorcycle follow the Scout theme, and are as follows / Indian head-dress, Scout and 745 logo decals / 5-coats of clear paint / Mustang studded seat / River Road T-bag / Custom made 6in. air intake with Spectre air filter and chrome top / Accel 8.8mm plug wires / muffler punched and drilled 7/8in. / Nelson Muffler Corp. plate on muffler / air injection on exhaust removed / custom tag bracket with LED light / custom chrome left engine cover / custom copy of a 1949 Indian speedometer / red neoprene vacuum hose / 5in. Retro mirrors / chrome Vintage horn cover / custom stubby passenger pegs / Indian points cover / chrome master cylinder cover / 45-70 Govt cartridge on chrome fuel shut off switch / Oversize Dunlop tires / Dark Candy Red is Honda's name for the bike's color, but it is very close to the Vermilion that would later be known as Indian Red. The Bikes nickname is Indian Joe !!!!!!!

Exxon Gas !!!!!!
- From: onetopp
-
Description:
In 1972, Exxon was unveiled as the new, unified brand name for all former Enco and Esso outlets. At the same time, the company changed its corporate name from Standard Oil of New Jersey to Exxon Corporation. The rebranding came after successful test-marketing of the Exxon name, under two experimental logos, in the fall and winter of 1971-72. Along with the new name, Exxon settled on a rectangular logo using red lettering and blue trim on a white background, similar to the familiar color scheme on the old Enco and Esso logos.

Is someone trying to tell me s

Description:
As anyone who read my first blog would know ... I was going to go to Sydney to be a marshall at the last ever motorbike race to be run at Oran Park. Because of a few unexpected bills I was sort of humming and harring about wether or not to go, but that decision has been taking out of my hands.
I was getting ready to go ... had the trailer all packed ... route planned out ... all needed to do was do a bit of food shopping and I would be on my way on Monday 16th Nov. Seeing as all was ready and I had a bit of time I decided to do a job I had been meaning to do for a while and that was wire up a cigarette lighter through the tralier plug wiring so that I could run a gps,charge a phone ...you know all those sort of things.
Well the wiring part went well but I couldn't find my soldering iron so I thought I would just plug it in and check to see if I had it right ... which I did untill I put it down on the groung to go get something. when I got back to the bike ... all within about 30 seconds ... there was smoke coming from the wiring loom on the bike. Seeing this I quikly pulled the plug out but it was too late. The whole thing was burnt out back up to the battery.
Had some fun trying to get the battery disconected .. a few sparks flying ...but once done .. started the bike and tested lights ect. and all seemed to be working ...lucky. The bike is now in having the trailer wiring redone and won't have it back till Wed so there is that trip gone.
As I said in the title .. I think someone was trying to tell me not to go.
Ray.

Texaco Gas !
- From: onetopp
-
Description:
Texas Fuel Company, founded in 1901 in Beaumont, Texas, by Joseph S. Cullinan, Thomas J. Donoghue, Walter Benona Sharp, and Arnold Schlaet upon discovery of oil at Spindletop. For many years, Texaco was the only company selling gasoline in all 50 states, but this is no longer true. Its logo features a white star in a red circle (a reference to the lone star of Texas), leading to the long-running advertising jingles ;You can trust your car to the man who wears the star and Star of the American Road. Thanks davisglane !
