    and unsub -- I am not going to sugar coat it -- the wing is a PAIN IN THE ASS to work on -- they are basically engineered never to break but as Douglas Adams said best "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair." Now there was a frame recall around 03 which basically requires tearing the bike down to the frame (not relevant in later years) and they still trickle in and we still cringe but damn if they dont fire right back up with no problems after being ripped apart and welded on. It speaks volumes that I choose to spend the bucks and get one -- as I only get to see the "sick puppies"

    I started following the Raiders in 1967 as a kid, right after I moved to Texas. Back then, it was easy to love 'em and I didn't know any better. I'm hopeful they can "right the ship" in the next few years. I think the NFL is better when it has an established spoiler like the Raiders. Too bad they haven't been that in a long time. BTW, the Saints are a great team and fun to watch.

    Actually -- yes-- My fiancee' asked what I wanted for my bday and I said a F6b -- it got a little slow at work fri afternoon and I was helping sales with building generators (hurricane season here) and still joking told him not to let anyone sit on "my" bike (F6B) he said well put something down on it and i'll rope that sucker off. I said -- well seriously how much would I have to put down-- he said -- lets run a credit check and find out -- rest is history. Do keep in mind that neither sales nor finance got to make a cent off of me. The one on the floor happened to be a deluxe and while I wouldn't mind a backrest and a centerstand - I can turn off my own turn signals and do not need heated grips here in the south and $1000 dollars buys a lot of fuel. We have 3 locations so I found one in the crate about 50 miles away and they should bring it by with our regular stock run weds
