TAKING IT TO THE STREETS

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

WOW! What a first ride, the auto clutch stuck and I was off to the races, at night and into a busy street. THANK YOU GOD! My bad! All that was needed was a quick adjustment and all is well, except for one thing it is now 12 midnight and the scheduled pick-up is 8am this morning. I did not have enough time to get to know the bike because it is a jockey shift and hydraulic foot clutch. I notified S&S that I need a huge patch of asphalt to practice on before we part on the 12o mile journey and all Howard Kelly had to tell me was “We got you covered. Just come and have fun” so people please keep the positive waves, prayers, energies, Karma, starbucks add shots, and everything and anything that is good in your life going strong and moving forward, even if you are a little scared to ride this bike, like I am. Anyway please wish me luck and I will talk with you next month   peace/d

Fired up

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Today is the day the S&S bike gets fired up. I have only the throttle cable and oil lines to run and then its off for the maiden voyage. They are scheduled to pick up the bike on thursday to truck it to LaCrosse and I am flying out on the 24th to begin the ceremony. Please keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer for the trip and the bike. We have to trek on a 120 mile journey once the event is under way on the newly built bikes and I sincerely wish every builder a trouble free trip. See you all soon and again thank you for your kind thoughts   peace to you /d
