I like how you have taken off the pillion seat.

Let the significant other get her own bike!

... That being said, mine has forced me to put it back on

Good onya mate nothing puts a smile on your face like a brand new bike. Sounds corny but with the Rocket that smile stays .. still get a grin when i'm out riding mine.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words, I really appreciate it. Yes, it is a beauty and that stupid grin pasted on my ugly mug is there to stay. She has to stay stock for the next two years. After that I'm gonna let that engine take some big deep breaths.

As for the garage, my son graduated this summer from high school, so I did some work to the garage that I've been putting off for some time. Had an extra sofa, a large remnant of carpet laying around and figured what the hell. Wifey likes it, too The fridge is stocked with ice cold beer:bch: now I'm just looking at putting in a TV. It's gonna be where me and my other wife hang out. Come winter I'm going to heat that side of the garage to around 50 so I can be out there.
