Reviving the old thread. Added some Progressive 412 shocks today.

And made my own ghetto bike lift.

We all have issues, at least your issues look like fun!

Oh boy do I ever have issues. Issues and issues and issues. Motorcycle Consumer News, BMW Owners News, Concourier, American Motorcyclist, Cruiser Magazine, and others in the basement I've forgotten all about. Seven years. That's a lot of issues. And that's just from one hobby, never mind all the others. Ya gotta have real issues to have that many issues.

Therapy, lots of therapy and meds.

Better a collection of motorcycles than a bevy of indiscreet cocktail waitresses, D-list skanks and porn stars. A much cheaper distraction and much less likely to result in having dental work (and SUV aeration) performed by one's wife with a golf club.

I must have missed #4. Do you have one each of the Japanese manufacturer's now?

Yup, motorcycling is cheaper alright. On the other hand, riding a cocktail waitress requires very limited safety gear, is more fun while it lasts, and is unlikely to get anyone killed outright. It produces very little emissions, and is not known to be harmful to the environment (assuming one takes reasonable precautions to prevent contributing to overpopulation). It uses only renewable energy sources. Both hobbies involve adroit handling of curves, speed control, balance, and some degree of physical and mental skill. On the down side, the babes usually require more preventative maintenance systems (or PMS). But, honestly, which would you rather be doing right now? :whistle:

Nice collection of bikes, by the way.

Click for bigger.

The jacket is new also. A First Gear TPG Ranier from NewEnough's closeout. $149. I think it was one of the last XXL yellows.
It isn't as yellow as I wanted it to be, but it's damn warm and cozy in 33 degree weather.
