    Well since we've met i can give you a little ribbing. No. 1-- I now know that you are not one of the clowns in face paint riding in the shriners parade. No. 2-- If I am wrong in that assumption, I'm guessing your clown shoes got stuck between the shifter and the footpeg. All kidding aside, sorry to hear about the little mishap. Lucky it happened where it did. Could of been somewhere where there was traffic etc. Count yourself lucky that is all I can say. Oh and one more thing, the Shrine Circus is in Aberdeen this week. Guess I wont be seeing you either way. Watching or working!!!!!!! Sorry couldnt resist. Get better soon my friend. Later Bernie

    I hope the 32's fit good for ya. Mine are a shade too long. Did ya get the JC whitneys? Put up a couple of pics so I can see the difference. Then I can see how big of a mistake I made going with the 36's. Now the biggest problem you will have is trying to outrun that throaty sounding noise that keeps chasing you all over. Get ready to have your fuel mileage take a hit.

    http://www.vtwinmfg.com/Catalog1/VTwinCatalogIndex1.htm This is the company. I ordered them from Northshore Motorsports off of ebay. I received them and 1 was dented. They replaced it no questions asked. Paid about 80 bucks apiece. They are 36 inch long pipes. You have to make your rear mounting brackets. They are a smooth pipe. As far as sound, they are loud. Check out the Barons slash cut sound clip. Awfull similar. Hope this helps. BJ

    I finally got my fishtails mounted today. They are a tad long, but I like them. I had to make the rear mounting brackets, because they came without. I didnt want to use hanger brackets, so I used stainless steel. I welded the bracket on the inside of the pipe, and didnt have much discoloration. I apologize for the bike being dirty, but just took it ot of hibernation. All in all I am pleased with them.

    Feel bad for the lady, read the clip and thought it was a little funny that she was out of work at the time because she is on disability. Now initial thoughts tend for me to think its a little funny that you can be on disability, and be riding a heavy motorcycle. I suppose you can. Just looks funny to me.

    Bad news...

    bj66 posted a topic in Watering Hole

    A guy i know was killed in a farm accident this weekend. Mike was 58 years old, he was caught in a grain bin and suffocated. It is a terrible tragedy, anybody who lives on, or grew up on a farm, knows how dangerous this can be. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Knoll family of Conde S.D. Mike was a good person, and had just taken delivery of a Harley trike last Friday. He took a quick spin down the road and back. His accident happened on saturday. Mike is survived by a wife, 3 daughters, and a Harley trike with 3 miles on it. At least he got to feel a little wind in his face. PEACE MIKE........

    I really like my Bakup. I grew up on dirt bikes. When I get on my RSTD i tend to swing a leg over rather than step through to get on. The spring loaded, fold forward backrest makes it really easy for me to get on.

    sorry didnt see this sooner, yes it is easy, remove seat then the rear fender bolts. Slip the bakup rest mount in between frame and fender. tighten using origional bolts. takes about 5 minutes.

    Barney Beagle Plays Baseball. Of course I was little, and my mom read it to me everyday. But It is still my favorite, and you asked.

    Woke up this morning to a chilly -24 here in South Dakota. Crap this is february, temps are supposed to be warming up a little.

    i think turning point in game wasnt the onside kick, but the touch down the saints didnt get at the end of first half. There was like 1:48 or so left on the clock, and they stopped the colts in 3 downs. Got the ball back and still got into position for the field goal. that had to give them alot of confidence. The onside kick to start the second half was icing on the cake.

    Henry Rifles

    bj66 replied to Bigfoot's topic in Watering Hole

    I have a Marlin model 39A. 22 cal. lever action which was given to me when i was 12, which was 32 years ago. And it was old then. It is a heavy old .22 and it shoots awesome. I would imagine the henry is comparible. You cant go wrong with a lever action. awesome shooting guns. Have a friend who even went with the Brownings in a higher caliber for deer hunting. I have pumps and semi-autos in deer rifles, along with pumps and semi autos in shotguns, and the lever is still my favorite by far.

    I have Barons slash cuts on mine. Ordered packing for the baffles. I like them, I just ordered a set of universal fit fishtails for something different. I have to figure out a mounting system though. Dont want to use a "P" bracket. They werent too costly so it will be a fun experiment. But in no way am I going to get rid of the Barons.

    I quit chewing after 18 years, then quit drinking 2 weeks after that. Both cold turkey! It was a bit of a shocker, but after a few weeks it wasnt bad. If you know deep down inside that you really want to quit, you can. It has been 9 years since I quit. I am always happy to hear of somebody who can quit. CONGRATS!

    I have a 08 tour deluxe, still have the stock seat. I have a Bakup on mine. I really like it, Spendy though. But most i have ridden is about 450 miles in a day. Then I am ready to get off. Mostly cause of the seat, but the backrest extends the time I can sit there. If it werent for that, i'd be getting off sooner. I am 6'1'' and 255 pounds. 32" inseam, and I am comfortable. By the way, it mounts really easy as well.

    here is mine, takes about 30 seconds to remove the plow for the fun stuff!

    When it starts looking like this outside let me know! Then I'll feel your pain.

    Where is everybody. I checked in 3 or 4 times in the last week or so. Nobody is there. Is it my deodorant, or maybe i have something stuck in my teeth.

    My neighbor shot this buck about 1/4 mile from where i normally hunt. My area was flooded, but if it wasn't maybe this could've been me!

    New scam

    I like how the first two paragraphs are each one long sentence.

    I just got contacts again after about 20 years of not wearing them. The newer styles of contacts were weighted to sit a certain way on my eye. Every time I would blink they would go in and out of focus. So I just gave up. Now I am to the point where i need the reading glasses, but I dont want bi-focals. I asked my optometrist why I couldnt get the old style contacts I wore 20 years ago that were thicker and didnt move around on my eye. She said they still made them. So I got a set, and I must admit they are a little uncomfortable, not being used to them. But I can see almost as good as with my glasses, which were better than 20-20. I still need to use the cheaters to read, but at least i am not stuck with bifocals. The bonus is I can use wrap around sunglasses to ride in that are cheap, and i dont have to order a prescription pair of sunglasses.
