I have a Classic. On my sissy bar I have a roll bag (T-Bag) but need some more storage. Would like some saddle bags so I'm asking the CC community out there if you have pictures and opinons on this subject that you would like to share? Appreciate any input.
Keep the wind in your face and ride safe!
Spent some time this morning with the two of the most important guy's in my life, my father and grandfather. I just wanted to let them know how much I love them & how proud I am for their service to their country. My grandfather was a "doughboy" in WW1 & my father was in the USAF in the Korean conflict. Both are very proud of the time they gave for their country and fly the "Red, White, & Blue" with pride on Veterans Day. While talking to them, I noticed many of their neighbors also fly "Old Glory" with pride, because of the service they gave defend this great nation. I was humbled; by seeing so many veterans gathered together. Men & woman who had defended this land in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, WWII, WWI, The Spanish American War, & the Civil War. You’re thinking by now "Where the heck is he at?" Well, I'm at my Dad & Grand-dads gravesites. I never met my Granddad, he passed before I was born, and I lost my Dad in 1999. I grew up hearing of the stories my granddad told Dad about fighting the "Hun" in the "Great War"! My Dad didn't talk much about service time in Korea, but as I got older, seeing programs about the Korean War, I knew it wasn't a pleasant experience. I never said thanks to my Dad till it was to late.
The point of this story is: Weather it's a relative, friend, or co-worker, don't wait to show a "Vet" how proud you are of their service, to their country. Till they are gone. Let them know today!" So with that said thanks to all of you in the community who has served. I could name many of you by name, but I would be still posting this on the 12th. By the time I am done..."A BIG THANKS" for your service guy's & gal’s! You’re a "COOOL Group"!

P.S. Want to especially thank a guy who spent more time under the water than above during his "stint" in the Navy. You always make me laugh when I feeling down! I won't embarrass him by giving his name, since most of you know whom I'm talking about...He's had it rough lately but he's still there for the rest of us....
hey everyone just wanted to tell ya'll that my daughter finally joined the cc community today!! my wife joined yesterday and i finally convinced my daughter to join to lol. so stop by and welcome her to the site, her nic is amanda89.
Thought it would be timely to do a {ever so slightly modified} Repost of Rob's original "Blog" relating to the ‘’The Inaugural CC River Run’’. Now that it has been confirmed that it will be happening, along with the fact that we will be having a VIP in attendance, as well as a number of our Aussie Lady riders too 
"Dr. Phil and I, Robin001 (better known as Rob) have been thinking and talking. Now I know that you are probably thinking that could be dangerous but between us we have half a brain and what we think is a brilliant idea.
We are calling it ‘’The Inaugural CC River Run’’. We are inviting all Aussie members of the CC Community to meet in the beautiful River Murray town of Mildura. We envisage this will take place in early April of next year.
This will give us all an opportunity to meet, have a couple of meals and a brew or two together and talk about our mutual passions, motorbikes and the open road. We can check out each others bikes and enjoy a cruise around the Mildura area. Phil has a few ideas for a ride to various close destinations which include local wineries for the wine lovers out there. If we can entice our favorite American honorary Aussie, Clyde, out here we might even take him for a visit to the roo poo pill factory. What do you say Clyde.
We would also like to extend a special invitation to Kyle (manybikes). This would be a great chance for CC to promote this great site here in Australia. What do you think Kyle? It would be another great trip to another great country on the company credit card mate. If you come out here mate, could you pack a bit of chrome for my Harley in your suitcase? Save me a bit on postage.
Accommodation in the Mildura area is reasonably priced and Phil has already checked out a Motel with bar and BBQ facilities if we all wanted to stay at the same place.
So are you interested?"
Any new or for that matter established, Aussie Members there is still time so put forward your expression of interest and join with a great bunch of fellow enthusiasts in what will be a most enjoyable and memorable event.
Just let either Robin001 or Phil Cole know that you would like to come along and you will receive a personal invitation with all the details from the infamous Dr. Phil!
Cheers

I first found Cruiser Customizing.com when searching for the best price for a set of Kuryakin ISO grips with Throttle Boss. I not only found the grips but found an amazing community of bikers from all over the world. Bikers helping bikers. People with the same passion for life and lifestyle.
At first I was a bit wary but then came an invitation from the infamous Dr. Phil Cole to join him for a coffee in the Adelaide Hills town of Stirling. From enjoying a couple of hours interesting conversation with Phil things have grown. It started with easy banter between us which grew into an idea to get Aussie CC members together somewhere in Australia. As most will know that idea is starting to come together with the inaugural River Run in April next year.
I then met the King of America. Mr. Clifton 'ÇLYDE' King. I have written a blog about what a mate means to me and Clyde has certainly become a real mate. I introduced Clyde to the concept of SKYPE ad now we talk every few days. Unfortunately I cannot repeat the conversations here. I might get kicked off the site.
From there I met the wonderful Dimitra and her elusive hubby Adam. What a remarkable young lady. I take my hat off to you Dim.
Next came a SKYPE call to manybikes himself, Kyle Bradshaw. Interesting young man. He has a wonderful habit of calling things 'sweet'. I wonder if he said that when he broke his wrist. I am certainly looking forward to meeting him in person next year.
As you all would know Phil and I had fun making a couple of videos we uploaded recently and in the process we met that man from south of the border, Cehszar and again thanks to SKYPE we managed to get all three of us on film.
Earlier this weekend I caught up with that man in the ''mother country'' Geoff Baker on SKYPE. We have since had a couple of conversations interrupted by Geoff being called to dinner by his daughter.
Finally, today that bloody trouble maker, Als1953, managed to download SKYPE. We had a short chat, hour and a half, about what else but bikes and bikers. Great t meet you Albert – I think. LOL
I want to thank Cruiser Customizing for giving me the opportunity to meet all these remarkable people from around the world and indeed here in Australia. I have since bought more products from CC and have found the service brilliant and the product excellent. As time goes by I hope to buy more bling and more importantly meet and interact with more bikers within the community.
Stay Upright & Safe folks
P.S. Forgot to mention A6. Poor bloke is having trouble with technology but he will get there. Sorry I forgot you mate.
Thank you Dimitra for your participation here in the Cruiser Customizing Community! You rock!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of spending the day with Robin001. Over a bottle of Scotch we prepared a couple of videos for the CC Community to hopefully enjoy. These photos were taken by Rob as I arrived and departed from his place.
