That is the number of casualties, to date, in this war we are in right now - alone. Memorial Day is the national holiday where American’s honor and remember ALL those who perished in service to the nation. No one should ever forget the sacrifice of the warriors who preserve the freedom of their fellow man.
And to everyone that has served and is still serving - I just want to say, thank you.

Billy......
Chris and I are blastin' outta town this weekend......in some weird way it almost seems like the right thing to do.........we both could use the tank full of cash........
We heard Peter Fonda speak about the movie,he said that this movie was a reflection of the times and a shift in culture in America for the worse,at least thats what I heard.
Dennis Hopper dies,the country is in sort of the same shape and riding choppers are the only thing that seems to make sense........
Whats gayer then,

ACQUIRED SOME GOODIES TODAY
I'M NOT MUCH OF A SWAT MEET KINDA GUY AND NOT REAL FOND OF RESTORING THINGS, BUT I DO LIKE THE LOOK OF THE OLDER PEANUT STYLE TANKS. ALWAYS WANTED TO PICK ONE UP A DETROIT BROTHERS TANK AND FINALLY GOT AROUND TO GETTING ONE. THEIR SHORT BUT STILL HOLD A DECENT AMOUNT OF GAS, AND THEY ARE BRAND SPANKIN NEW. ALSO BOUGHT SOME STAINLESS. I LIKE THE COMFORT OF THE ATTACK BARS BUT NEED SOMETHING CLASSIER. WHO DOES'NT LIKE THE SHINY POLISHED LOOK OF STAINLESS-

TOUGH FLATTY
BRAIN BUCKET
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A GOOD FITTING, NON RIDICULOUS LOOKING HELMET FOREVER. I ORDERED A BELL 500 AND WAITED 2 MONTHS FOR IT TO COME ONLY TO HAVE IT BE TOO BIG. IT WAS A REAL SWEET HELMET, BRAND NEW METALFLAKE ORANGE THAT WAS ALL NEW AND UP TO DATE. I ORDERED A SMALL AND IT WAS STILL KIND OF BIG, SO I SENT IT BACK AND FOUND THIS ONE. OPEN FACE, RED STRIPES AND LINER PLUS VENTS. I'M THINKING GREAT. IT'S THE SAME BUT WITH VENTS AND WADDYA KNOW, IT'S EVEN CHEAPER!
SO I ORDERED IT UP, THIS TIME IN EXTRA SMALL. AFTER PAYING THE WAIT GAME AGAIN IT FINALLY ARRIVED. POPPED OPEN THE BOX AND STUCK IT ON. STILL TOO DAMN BIG! BITCHIN RED LINER-

R.I.P. FOR DAVE POO'S BEARD
Go Blackhawks
It's been an exciting series, Chicago will go nuts if we win.
Beard-A-Thon
In this 90-100 degree heat and working in new construction (ie no air) my beard has been seductively flirting with my razor from across the room...
ATTACK!

Warm Summer Nights.....
The last time I rode out somewhere far I remember hearing something come off my bike. I kept goin, everything was good, so, I figured maybe it was something that I kicked up on the road. Anyways, it pays to go over your bike once a week and do a once over. I wasnt surprised when I found out I was missing the lower spacer and bolt for my fender. Not a big deal, The LEG gave a helping hand and we where ready to hit the road. The night was young, the air was warm, so we decided to do a quick blast and hit the Taste of Glen Ellyn (Yuppie Central) on the way back. Got some quick food, a funnel cake, and headed back to the LEGS with a case old Old Style where Big Mike entertained us. It was a good night and it finally feels like summer....it feels damn good.

Can Not Kill The Battery
Oh - I beg to differ, Metallica... Been swamped at work and with family lately so it's been hard to get out to the geerage to work on this pig-o'-mine. These electrical problems are kicking my ass (due to my stubbornness to think it could even possibly be the battery). The last harley, sealed, maintenance free battery I got from harley lasted over 4 years. I built my battery box around *that* kind of battery (so I'm kind of stuck getting that same one). This new battery I purchased in Sep., only 8 months ago. That and the fact that I was reading 12.7 standing voltage - I thought fer sure it had to be something else.
After going thru the wiring 10 friggin times, looking for continuity and shorts (pretty simple harness here, only a few wires) I finally decided to check the battery. Load test....failed! Fuck. Went back to the dealer to get a prorated new one and found out that my 20% discount (for being a Union Member) was a bigger discount than the prorate. Fuck. And, unbeknown to me, I ended up going there on a dealer ride nite - mob scene. Fuck. Douchebag-o'-plenty. More affliction shirts, well manicured thin beard lines, spikey hair and white sneakers than I could count. Fuck. And Bagger Nation was there in force too. Fuck. Gonna throw 'er back together today and see if she'll fire.
On a similar note, looking for the smallest battery possible for my bike - I ran across this site: Tek Battery
And fer a mere $1,000 to $2,500 you too can have a small battery. Whoa.
