It felt good to ride yesterday and was going to toady but glad I did not as it started raining about 1/2 hour before we closed.

While I was at the store I got new batteries for the key fobs since one was dead and the other probably not too far behind.

So I will be on two wheels,going to ride to work and take the long way home and probably not do anything in the garage. I would have rode tonight but I had to find the source of a noise in one of my cars and it turned out to be a almost froze up water pump so it got replaced,it must have been going bad for awhile as it seemed to free up some power and running better. I was hoping it was the alternator as I had a few in stock but no extra water pumps.

I went by there the other day and the showrooms are still full of inventory,I would presume if the are closed there would be a auction coming up to liquidate everything or does the manufacture take everything back.

It was either the Triumph Bonneville or a Harley and the Harley won,if I ever trade up to a touring I am going to get a Bonneville to ride around town on.

A.D Farrow had a slightly used 2010 Roadglide last spring with a bunch of options I should of bought,about 900 miles and originally stickered for around 24,000 and they wanted a little more then 18,000 for it. Never could get back there with mine to see what they would give me for it but even if they gave me 10,000 I could not come up with the rest without financing or selling some of my cars.

I love off road but my body cant handle it anymore so I stray on the road.

The sports bikes look too uncomfortable for me due to back injuries many years ago from a car wreck so its cruisers for me,I might have to get a more comfy riding bike then what I have due to back pain. I wish now I would have spent about three thousand dollars more and bought a touring when I bought the Superglide since its now going to cost me more to upgrade.

I hooked up the battery tender,it was too cold to do anything in the garage and I am out of kerosene for the heater.

My old yamaha enduro only cost about 75 a year but it was only liability but when I got the Harley and full coverage it went to a little over 300 a year and has been going down every year,I was not expecting that big of difference since my cars are relatively cheap.

I dont like any of the morning shows and would rather listen to music,they all suck if you ask me.

I thought that was done years ago.

I am going to need a rear tire on my Superglide and need to find someone to change it soon,I dont have a lift so whoever does it will have to take it off the bike.

I have noticed most have metric bikes so am I the only one with a Harley on here.

I wish the Harley dealers would have something like that,I was at Buckmins today getting a price on the non security TSM and would love to have the black Roadglide that they have but way too much money.

Depending on the time of the day it was hard to get in and out of the place,now with the GM plants that were near by closed it should of been easier to accsess the shop.

It looks like I need to go somewhere local to try them on for size before ordering online,I have a full open face helmet but its a little too small. The helmet in the video was neat and might consider it since I would like to listen to music and cant with my bike since it does not have a faring.

Those full face helmets look like they would be too hot in the summer,I know its for safety but I do want to be somewhat comfortable.

I did stop by comp acc. one day when I was in Springfield and did not like the selection,I am looking for a half helmet and they had mostly full helmets. I liked the half helmets at the h/d dealers better but the cost seemed very high.

I have been riding legally for about 15 years and after the first year ditched the helmet,I had been riding enduros up to when I bought the Harley 3 years ago and since it can go faster and I can ride farther now I want to get me a good helmet at a reasonable price. Anybody know where I can get helmets other then the dealers in the Dayton area.

It does not look good at the local Harley shop too.

I will try to make it.

I would like to as I dont have many friends that own bikes,I usually hang with the old car crowds.

I cant wait untill spring.

I also like riding up to Indian lake to grab something to eat,its a hour ride and is nice to look out over the lake while eating. We have nothing like this in Dayton,the Tilton Hilton has great sandwichs and there is Cranberrys on the south east side that has killer onion rings.
