Google translates it as:
I do not want a pickle
I just want to ride my bike

I said I would get pictures today. I took a few but the mountains weren't as snow covered today as they were yesterday, so aren't quite so spectacular. That's Mt. Baldy in the background a bit over 10,000'. that's the one we were behind the last week at 8000'. There is a lot more snow on that side (the North side).
This was the best shot.

This is really a beautiful shot - how about posting it in the Photo Gallery as well !

I was just wondering about that the other day.  I guess Google is broken if it can't translate 'motor-sickle' correctly.

The language is Urdu. I used to have it say "Life's to short to dance with fat chicks' but the translation software I used came out with 'life is too short to dance with gristle infant chickens'  Hardly the same impact.  Teehee

I managed to get it to say "motorcycle" instead of "bike" by putting the word "motorcycle" on a separate line. Very strange.

Got my Napoleon mirrors in the mail and put them on.  I guess I'll see how awesome they work tomorrow on the ride to work.  They sure do look purdy...

I also was going to adjust my chain, but that will have to wait until later because I don't have big enough sockets.  Bummer.

those Napoleon's sure look sharp, where are you guys sourcing them from and any ticks w/e the bar end weights or just switching them out for the mirror?

I made our Host richer by ordering some goodies for my G5. :)

A 7" headlight, a K&N air filter and oiling kit and a couple of retro turn signals so I can get rid of those HUGE DOT mandated lights on the rear of the bike.
(As you folks may recall, I already replaced the two front signals). :)

I kept the bar end weights and screwed the mirrors on the outside of them.  Time will tell if this poses a problem with staying tight.  It seems good now.

I put a little blue LocTite on just to be sure.

I have the weights on mine, not a problem. I do use a bit of blue there, though.
I had the arms cranked in like you do. My hands got claustrophobic. I had to move the arms back up in the vertical position, although I did rotate the mirrors inward.

I got mine off Ebay, but be sure to look for Barons, there are other "Napoleans" out there that are inferior.
