• Quiet Times

  Not much going on right now.  I spent part of Father's Day weekend working on the bike with my dad.  Just some minor things, including the fitting and prepping of a new Sharkskinz tail onto the bike, before sending it out to get painted.  We also prepped a nearly new gas tank to replace the one currently on the bike, which was also damaged from the ...
