Sure.... ask for them before my hop up bike is done.
just lighting that fire under your butt, Rob...
No major rush... I just want to get a jump on things before school starts up again...
I want to send a photo of what I will be refering to as "the twins, sort of".

oh nevermind... I was going to make a comment... but I've corrupted things enough around here lately...
lol
Can't wait to see the finished project!
I was checking out the XSEast pics and didn't even have to look at the names to figure out which bike was yours... VERY nice!

If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.
Cy,
Take a break and ride on down to Paso with the rest of us! We will probably get a few good pics both in the hills AND out at the Ocean!
Just a quick scream down I5 and over 46 for you!
I so wish I could, but I'll be lucky to get a couple of hours to ride all weekend, just too many things to do right now. Plus I still need to get my spare engine completed and get them swapped. This knock doesn't seem to be changing, but it's got me nervous and wanting to get it done. I'll be installing the new clutch and getting everything checked out and ready to go, hopefully I'll get it in before the end of the month.

After talking it over with my live in Guru of Gurus... we thought maybe 3 calendars would be in order...
One for the pristine bikes...
A daily rider calendar...
and one for the bobbers...
I have several submissions for the first... a couple for the second... but I need the bobbers to stand up and represent...
Thanks to all who have sent me pics already!
Dang you're fast!

Save me a spot Kat. I believe you are going to love this bike. Should have it finished (does that really happen?) in a couple of weeks. I do have a pic that is pre-fixed and looks PDG but I am going to take it further. When I figure out how to post within the thread it will get posted. If not I will bring pics to the MOM.

I PM'd you for the e-mail address. Thanks for your help!

Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson
Kat--
I couldn't get the e-mail to work, so I PM'd them to you. Let me know if they came through. Thanks
