I wish, I was still riding in that. Now it's high about 27-30 and no thanks to that. Plus this week I start night shift again and no way I'll be riding around at 2, 3, 4 am and shit when it's 14* out.

So I wrangled Cave into the project for his bike's benifit. If I don't he'll never do it. I swear I'm his only motivation at times!

We left the house, got to the gas station to add seafoam & top off the tanks. Then rode to my work where we commenced washing the bikes in the heated garage and nice warm water.



We washed, clay bar, and waxed both of them.

Then take a 115mph jaunt down the highway, to flush the seafoamed gas thru the system and get the ole bikes warm. Back to my house for simotaneous oil changes.


Each bike runs 4qrts in the motor, 1qrt 6oz in the primary, and 1 qrt in the trans. However, when I run the oil scavenger (to flush the motor & oil pump with fresh oil) it takes another 1.5 qrts to do that. So basically 8qrts per bike. You end up with a pile!!


Many hours later both bikes are done, Cave's at his house and mine all tucked in for her winter nap.


Now all buttoned up.. both bikes. Plus they learned how to share space with the wife's car.


Stay tuned for the start of the modifications for the ultra... nothing too much, but I can't let the Nightster get all the attention.

we got 4 inches of snow on Sat morning. I hate shoveling. the first snow I usually shovel because the gravel isn't froze in place yet and the snowblower acts more like a machine gun. good thing the drive is only 175 feet long and two cars wide.
only 4 more months to go until we thaw out again...................right?

You Floridians can have it though, warm weather all the time like that isn't worth having to deal with all the old people that come down every winter.

We don't want it. We figured that you have been missing out on it for so long that we petitioned to have our snow delivered to you this winter.
