I've also stepped to the darkness...

This pretty sums up my view about this subject.
I'm 60, still riding Choppers, messing with cars, gals (my wife ) and booze. Life will slow you down a bit but more active you are, happier and healthier you'll be. Don't ever stop. Train karate, go to gym, go to see gigs and dance like nobodys watching you, and most of all don't give a fuck.
That's actually almost the best part being in the last quarter of your life. Not giving a fuck. If you have done so in earlier life, after fifty you usually start not to.
I think the best part of getting old is to see that your kids get along in life and to see grandkids grow up. Small things make me happy.

Had a fuckin great weekend

Last sunday us and few friends were kicking up the mood at a huge company party (1300 guests) with some wild rockabilly dancing. ( 888's got me sweating everywhere)

@injunjack sweet, we're going to be installing that setup on my buddy's shovel soon. i like the stance and proportions of that bike man

when adjusting the rear shock position, don't go too low, frame will scrape the pavement too easily. My forks are only 2" over of stock Sporty forks I think. Be prepared to cut the old swingarm in bits and pieces if it hasn't been taken off in decades, pain in the ass.
Also the thick 19 incher Shinko E270 does the trick. BTW this siu -80 FXS, Lowrider, so there is a bit more rake in the frame than in others, I've been told.
forgot to mention, Pike Bros Tee, IH 555-18s old version and Wesco Lou's.

about straight from the brown bag..
W35, hemmed to 31,75, double cuffed, for sidewalk use...

my speed skull. First I was like hell no, looks like 5 years olds drawing, after about 12h I decided to have one...

OR you pee in your boot and wear it till it dryes. If you have problem peeing in your own boots, ask a friend to do it. (or byu urea at pharmacy or where-ever you get in your neck of the woods)
urea has been used ages for softening leather... once your boot is wet, it'll stretch and mold to your feet.
Also riding a motorcycle in rain gives boots a nice soak, and using them while wet damp does the trick as well....

I’d much rather be comfortable from day one. I’ve found that jeans don’t stretch nowhere near as much if you size them properly from the beginning. And I always wear a belt so my waist typically doesn’t stretch much.

This is something I have preached over the years....

@injunjack I’m 54, I would snap my femur

I beat you with 6 years....

Lol, of course 1700cc is a handful.. most with proper comp are, even with less cc's. Most of my kicksart bikes start with 1st-2nd proper kick. Usually there are 3-6 preliminary kicks to get motor primed with fuel... my e-start bike doesn't usually start with first flick of the starter.

sissies,
