Assembly Line Custom
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
This is a very sweet custom motorcycle, yes? Actually, no. Some young ... scarred knuckled ... greasy fingered ... bike loving gentleman never worked on this bike ... or sweated out getting the exhausts tuned or getting the handle bars at "just the right angle" or anything. It came off an assembly line. Granted, it came off a high priced assembly line, but no true lover of cycles ever sweated blood and tears over this machine. A well to do man put in an order for it ... told the company what kind of motor he wanted, what kind of tires he wanted, what kind of wheels he wanted, what he wanted as far as a color scheme for a paint job and the whole ball of wax. Once the order was all written up, this sweet machine came off on an assembly line. "Custom made" without the "Custom".
Somehow, this all seems like cheating to me. Because some yo-yo has the big bucks, he can put in an order, ("do you want pies and fries with that sir?"), and "WHAM! BAM! PRESTO!" ... he's made into an instant "biker". He hauls this beautiful machine to the rally, (Panama City's "Thunder Beach" in this case), unloads it, and rides it "triumphantly into town" from his five star hotel room. After a weekend of bedding beautiful women and getting drunk at high priced bars, he rides it triumphantly back to the trailer, hauls it back home, and there it will sit in an air conditioned garage for the next bike rally six or seven month from now. The motor will never be fired up. It will never be loved. It's just a prized possession.
How do I know all this? Because I asked the owner when I stopped at a gas station to fill my tank and quench my parched throat from the long ride over.
Pathetic!
Give me my muchly used and lovingly customized Magna with 24,163.0 miles on it ANYDAY compared to this shining sparkling bike with barely 500 miles on it. I did ALL the work on my Magna and my Intruder myself ... every barfed knuckle, every scraped and cut finger, every tear of frustration on every rusted bolt was earned and appreciated. My bikes may not look as nice as this one ... but they are certainly loved more!

Rescue Mission

Description:
DAY 5 : TIME TO START THE EXHAUST. TREAT WITH RUST CONVERTER EVEN MORESO, THESE ARE REALLY BAD. IT TAKES ME JUST ABOUT 4 HOURS TO GET THEM TO A GOOD CONDITION FOR POLISHING. WHILE POLISHING BY HAND, I SPIT ON THEM, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HELPS, BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF POLISHES, THEY'RE LOOKING OK. MUST BE THE BOURBON. OK, NOW THE SWING ARM. THE CONDITION IS NOT TO BAD, ONLY SLIGHT TREATMENT REQUIRED TO BRING IT UP. LIGHT SAND, RECOAT GLOSS BLACK, I CHEAT A LITTLE, AND APPLY CHROME TAPE AT VERY SLIGHTLY TACKY, BE CAREFUL IF YOU TRY THIS, IF YOU LAY THE TAPE ONLY MARGINALLY OFF LINE, AND TRY TO LIFT AND RE STICK, YOU MAY LIFT THE PAINT OFF AS WELL. BUT WHEW, IT WORKS FOR ME. LAY CLEAR LAQUER OVER. REPAT FOR DRIVE SHAFT SIDE. THATS ANOTHER 3 HOURS. SIDE COVERS NEXT. LIGHTLY SAND, THIN COAT SILVER, ALLOW TO DRY (BOTH). FINISH POLISHING AIR CLEANER COVERS WHILE WAITING. MIX SOME YELLOW TO MATCH THE TANK, MASK SIDE COVERS AND PAINT. THIS IS ALL QUICK DRY, SO ONLY 2 HOURS TO WAIT. SAME FOR MAROON (BURGUNDY IN AMERICA). HIGHLIGHT WITH CHROME TAPE & CLEAR COAT OVER. LAST 2 HOURS FOR POLISHING FINAL DRIVE CASE.
DAY 6 : COAT SPRINGS, TAIL LIGHT AND INDICATOR MOUNT WITH TREATMENT NOT TO BAD ALL OF THIS, EASY POLISH, OK. MEASURE AND CUT DAMAGED EXHAUST, TOP ONE BENT AND DENTED AT THE TAPER. CUT 45 DEGREES AT EQUAL LENGTHS. REWELD TOP INNER BAFFLE. CLEAN AND PAINT RADIATOR AND RADIATOR GAURD (MESH). START PARTS REPLACEMENT ON BIKE.

More About Me
- From: gaqt466
-
Description:
I am a Black American Woman, 43 yrs old, I am kind, patient, smart, have a great sense of humor. Unfortunately, I am also a paradoxical anomaly. Why? Because I ski, swim, make awesome baked ziti, love classic rock and pop music, old country, and of course 70’s disco. Apparently I missed the memo that says black girls aren’t supposed to swim, ski, ride motorcycles, or date white guys.
LMAO I also enjoy: museums, antiqueing, going down the shore, walking, shopping, plus the usual stuff that everyone likes such as; movies, theater, dining out etc. I root for the NY Giants and the NY Mets.
I am currently disabled due to Meniere's Disease and I am the sole caregiver to my 81 year old father who has Parkinson's Disease, and my 79 year old mom who is in the early stages of dementia. The worst part of being a live-in caregiver for my parents is that my mom is so afraid of my having another nervous breakdown, she can be a bit clingy. My mom can't tell me being depressed from me being lazy. Sometimes I just want to lie on the sofa, eat junk food, and watch tv in my jammies. That doesn't mean I'm depressed, I just don't have anything better to do. There are times when being lazy actually makes me happy. :)
I should probably clarify that Tex (the guy on the blue Honda Shadow) and I are friends, but no longer dating. Yes, I do have his permission to use those pictures. I told him about the site and as soon as he gets his laptop fixed he'll probably become a member here as well.
I blog on Google too, so I may just add some of those blogs here, if y'all don't mind

Mutual Bliss on a Bike
- From: gaqt466

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

Hello from France.
Thanks for your reason why, it certainly takes a man to tell a group of bikers your story, as we are just a bunch of kids in long pants, I think that is good you acept the name and it dont hurt as much, remember the old saying " sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me " what an idiot.

A Learning Video
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
I'm trying hard to learn the in's and out's of this video editing software I own, so I'm uploading a "first attempt". The road I'm traveling in the video is US 90 between Quincy Fl and Tallahassee Fl ... a nice ten mile stretch of divided country highway. Not too may curves, but fun and pleasant to ride on. I’ve also included some photos that were taken chronicling the custom paint I put on the Magna.
Enjoy!

November 13 th Port Dover run
- From: kimmer127
-
Description:
Tomorrow is our regular Friday 13th ThunderRun to Prt Dover. Every Fruday 13th motorcyclists of every age, riding style, and bike make descend on Port Dover for a day of fun, bike oggling and buying must have doo dads and duds. Our Hog chapter is riding down as a group. The town shuts down all car traffic there are so many bikes there. I hear the police will be checking exhaust sound levels so I may need to put a sock in Boomer's Rineharts.
It is about a 2 hour ride from here and I will blog on our run sometime on Saturday and post pictures.

Description:JUST A COMMON SOLDIER(A Soldier Died Today)by A. Lawrence VaincourtHe was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast,And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past.Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done,In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one.And tho' sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke,All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.But we'll hear his tales no longer for old Bill has passed away,And the world's a little poorer, for a soldier died today.He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife,For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life.Held a job and raised a family, quietly going his own way,And the world won't note his passing, though a soldier died today.When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state,While thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great.Papers tell their whole life stories, from the time that they were young,But the passing of a soldier goes unnoticed and unsung.Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our landA guy who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man?Or the ordinary fellow who, in times of war and strife,Goes off to serve his Country and offers up his life?A politician's stipend and the style in which he livesAre sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives.While the ordinary soldier, who offered up his all,Is paid off with a medal and perhaps, a pension small.It's so easy to forget them for it was so long ago,That the old Bills of our Country went to battle, but we knowIt was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys,Who won for us the freedom that our Country now enjoys.Should you find yourself in danger, with your enemies at hand,Would you want a politician with his ever-shifting stand?Or would you prefer a soldier, who has sworn to defendHis home, his kin and Country and would fight until the end?He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin,But his presence should remind us we may need his like again.For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's partIs to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.
