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!

Well all, I just couldn't wait any longer to get out and ride. 70F here today and I wasn't about to let this day slip past me without getting out on the Silverado. We have very few nice days left so hey.....need I say more? The side covers are out getting custom paint work done on them and like I said in the blog yesterday....they should be back mid week! Oh La La

Fall on the James
- From: vasoftball5
-
Description:
For weeks now, i've been trying to get out to the bend at James to take photos of the fall foliage. Usually, the colors are really vibrant with yellows and reds. Unfortunately, the weather was poor the last few weekends, and a flu illness kept me down. Finally, the weather kept up its end of the bargain, and the wife and I got to take the trek.
Route 5 is a really great ride. Nice and curvy, without too much traffic. The shadows from the sun being low in the sky keep the temperature down a bit, but it was warm enough this weekend to ride down without the leathers.
A few weeks back, we took Route 5 from Williamsburg up to Richmond, and found the overpass at the James was astounding. So, we were going back down to get shots of the fall foliage.
Sadly - it's a little late, and most of the brighter colors have dropped. But the shot here I got from the pinnacle of the bridge. Wanted to share with everyone.
Keep riding and keep alive everybody. Here's to a short Winter and an early Spring.

OK, so I'm not mechanically in
- From: gypsypearl

Description:
I just bought a sissy bar for my bike and received it a couple of weeks ago. No problem, I thought to myself, I'll have this done in no time.
Well, the rains came and my bike was filthy, so the next nice weekend I'll detail my bike and put on my sissy bar.
I spent four hours today, trying to clean, polish, wax and install...the clean, polish and wax went fine. The sissy bar is still in the box.
I tried...I really did! My fingers are sore from messing with those stupid bolts. Finally got the bracket on the right side - man, I'm moving now (after an hour!).
The left side was a complete disaster. After an hour, one bolt won't seat right no matter what I do. I just took off the successfully installed bracket, tightened down the bolts on the other side the best I could (with one still sticking out about 1/4"), tested to make sure I hadn't screwed anything else up and put my bike up,
I did remove my curved luggage rack and put my 2-up seat back on.
It just frustrates me that I try so hard to be self-sufficient but I failed so miserably.
So I admit it...I couldn't do it TODAY!
Maybe next weekend... - Blog post

My Cruiser Customizing Experie
- From: Robin001
-
Description:
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.
