Rode to work today. The first 12 miles I was just cruising along put putting at 55mph enjoying the nice cool air in face at a relaxed pace. Then about half way thru my commute, I started getting to the section of freeway with lots of turns and sweepers. AND I got a hair up my arse.
My fuel economy took a hit and my adrenaline rose as I started pushing the bike harder than ever thru the double S section with the new rear sets installed. Holy crap is it exciting scraping your toes in a rhythm section at 80mph!
Ummm, I mean 55mph.
Then on my way back home I kept hearing this strange rattle coming from the front that I couldn't pinpoint. Then when I parked the bike at home, I noticed the headlight wasn't working so I took a peak at it. The entire filament broke off from the bulb and was floating around inside of it! 2 days old! Yeah, I won't be buying a Wagner 6024 ever again. POS.
Also I built a new luggage rack for the bike. I want to be able to start camping with the Blackhawk and strapping gear to a curved fender doesn't work worth a crap. So I welded up and painted this guy today.
And yeah yeah yeah. I know my crappy seat cover is falling apart. I got a number from a local DJ/Hot Rodder for an upholster, and I've called him 3 or 4 times but no return call.
