No way Chet, I ride year round brutha!

You can't count the one sunny 40 degree day every other month in the winter as riding year round!

What time you pickin'r up tomorrow? I'll be out by 10 or 11 and ready for a short ride.

As long as it aint pouring rain I'll ride, even if that means in upper 20's temps on the way into work, as long as no lingering ice of course...

Not sure about tomorrow, but will give you a shout Gumbi...

Jay, may the fleas of a thousand camels invade your underwear drawer.

Can you tell I'm just a little jealous?

Looking great, now get back over to your mechanic's garage with some beer so he can finish it up.

Yep, that's Stacey indeed Wil, good eye (he's the best damn tech in the entire PNW IMO)! Broken foot and all I do get the feeling he is very much enjoying this project!

I was telling him today that it must be frustrating for him knowing that when completed he wouldn't even get to do the first test ride, his comment was "I think I might just take this cast off and do it anyways"...

Thanks RC, I'm hopefull for today but this project is taking a little longer than expected due to all the little details... If it get's done today that would be great, but I also told them I'd rather it be perfect than rush it... So if it takes till tomorrow I guess so be it at this point... $:-\$

Almost done...

I'm glad I added in the carbon fiber rear hugger too, it blends in real nice IMO with the black swing arm and should go very nicely with the carbon fiber dual Muzzys...

Damn J, with ALL that black on your bike it's going to be SO SLOW, you'll need a Silverdammit in front of you to make a hole in the wind just so you can get moving.

I'm pretty sure I hate you now... but only because I love the way your bike is turning out, and it makes me want to ~~rob a bank~~ win the lottery... or work harder (ummm, yeah).

Maybe we can get J to adopt us?
