Back in the Saddle… Again.

My older brother called me today at at around 10 minutes after 1.   He was driving back from phoenix, and called me to tell me to meet him at his house, he had my bike.    I was pretty stoked, counted down the minutes.   what man doesn’t get excited to say a Harley Davidson is coming is way?     Maybe you’re more stoic than me.

I’m not sure most people would understand.  You build a bike…. a pretty special and fast bike that hauls ass and is your design, from cams and crank to paint job.   I’m not sure i’d turn that over to anyone.

Here’s the bike.   It’s in the garage now, took the kids for a ride, washed her up and said goodbye to the cage till november.    I can’t wait to take her down the canyon to work tomorrow morning in the cold.

My old bike was fast, but this girl is faster.   Around 3500 RPM she starts to get demonic.   Doesn’t like to idle, but open her up and its clear where she wants to be.    Add in that 6 speed baker and I’m a happy man.     I’ll put her to use.

Sunday was a great day.    I still haven’t gotten over her.    This is one sick engine.   I need to take her touring next weekend.
