Stopping by here to say Hi  8)

I hated on hardly-ableson so many years I don't know hows this one ended up in my stable by the Connie and sport bikes. And anyway, been busy making it look like this and just wanted to drop by  ;D


I have a harley tshirt but haven't been able to make myself wear it yet, but I'm working on it  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks! 

Just got started with long shot VH exhaust, fuel pack, breather, engine guard, low profile solo seat on way, chrome passenger pegs. I bought it from a gent with 490 miles on it, got a great deal. Hardest thing I've done is clean the whitewalls and polish it.  Just wow that takes forever!  ;D

Wesley's Bleach White is the answer for whitewalls, Adam's makes a spray wax that will handle everything else. The pink spray is the stuff you want from Adam's.

Never know where our interest will turn do we? After being owned by bikes since 82/83 my interest waned over the last few years and I sold my Concours last year and bought a bigger motor for our pontoon boat and just the other day we brings home this little girl....

And like bikes are any different? No matter if it floats, flies, or fuxks it cost money to ride it!

Plus the new 4-Stroke Merc's are quite low maintenance with zero valve lash adjustments and oil/filter changes only every 100 hours....

FIFY

Yeah, I've always heard "If it floats, flies or fux ... rent it!"

Also "Boat (n) - a hole in the water into which you pour money"

And finally "A boat owner's favorite day is the day he buys his boat ... and then the day he sells it."


Yet I have one, too  :-[

Some of us never learn! ;D

If it has teats or tires, it's trouble.

Nice little boat...don't succumb to two-footitis.

LoL... I'd never heard of two-footitis and had to look it up.... I think for the most part we all suffer from this sickness! We also have an 18-foot pontoon and its only like once a year that I wish we had a 20 foot boat and that feeling only last for a week then I return to feeling adequate again... I did opt for a larger motor and wish for a bigger one yet on the pontoon when I got her loaded down near 8 souls on board. The little black speedboat was as much the wife's idea as mine and once we get it well sorted out it will be a sweetheart for going to one of the many (16+) marina for dinner and beer as it can get there much quicker than the pontoon it can do so with much better fuel burn too...
