At Lunch Today…

So at lunch today I overheard this guy saying “I can dress her up but I can’t take her anywhere”.  I looked at him and asked if he was talking about his wife or a Harley!  He responded that he could take the Harley out as long as he didn’t take her too far.

Cleaning your F4 Customs Windshield.

When our vented F4 +4 was installed they were very specific about cleaning.  Paper towels, not cotton towels.  The install took place at Wing Ding 2012.  Those of you who were there may remember a bad storm that came though one day during the event.  (How bad was it?  This trailer was blown across the parking lot ramming the tongue into the engine of this beautiful Wing!IMGP4086Our Wing was wet even though it had a full cover on it.  Out to the parking lot I went to dry things off.  Pulling a bath towel I had brought from home out of the Bushtec I went to work.  Okay, I wasn’t cleaning the windshield I was just drying it off…with a cotton towel.  That was when I spotted a hair from our daughter Lindsay on the windshield.  Several months earlier Lindsay had moved into her own place.  Since that time we bought a new front load heavy duty clothes washer and drier.  Several washings later that towel had just deposited one of her hairs on the windshield.  The same towel had from time to time dried on a clothesline where wind may have blown sand into it.  This is the very reason why the folks from F4 Customs tell you not to use a cotton towel to clean the windshield.  I got the message!

Motorcycle Photojournalist?

Many years ago I attended a lunch hour seminar on stress relief.  The moderator asked each attendee “What would you do if you didn’t have to work for a living?”.  It was with little thought that I responded, “Motorcycle Photojournalist”.  Understanding what the moderator was really looking for this seemed an appropriate although unrealistic response.  Just ask any of my former English teachers.  Any who are capable of uttering a response through their laughter will clearly back me up when I say, “I CAN’T WRITE”!  Fast forward a short millennial and here we are…go figure.
