    What Else is in the Garage/Shop?

    I have seen a few other posts that hinted at or even showed other cool things in the garage/shop. This was of interest to me and might be to others, so I thought it might need it's own thread. I'll start with one of mine - [/URL][/img] Mine is the little Black one to the right in front. So...

    Starting a fire the old fashion way..... how cool !!!!!

    I have done the bits of wood start a few times, as described and like castaway. Bought the magnesium striker, but, have not completed that test yet. Funny, trying to teach the younger set the fine art of fire building and they go right to the propellant with lighters. Get them inside without...

    Well if you need them in New Mexico, I certainatly NEED them here in the Midwest! (I used to ride out of Farmington/Durango). Thanks for pointing out that lack of knowledge on my part. SEE, this is exactly what I am grateful for about this forum. I learn things everyday!

    Decade after Decade - I make the same modifications

    I am just glad that you all have the addiction and post your results-good and bad. With that information I can make the correct decisions about what will benefit me and my wants for the bike without getting an inventory of unused parts that didn't work quite right! So far, just a seat mod and...

    Share your: Order Number / Date Ordered / Date Received / Color Ordered / State

    Yup. your right. 4/100's doesn't seem a difference. Sales rep steered me wrong and wanted me to buy the 2012 I guess.

    Share your: Order Number / Date Ordered / Date Received / Color Ordered / State

    Funny, I had a similar experience and bought mine off the showroom floor. Yes it was laready a year old, but, the 2012 fit my physical stature better and the Raven was the color I preferred when seeing it live. I did like the flat black, but, the seat height was too high. Although I am 6'5"...

    The BIG COLORADO 2013 summer gathering !

    Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but, I am probably going to do that a few times over the winter, sooo... This thread really messed with my head and also helped to get me over the short bit of buyers remorse, that moment when you write the check and wonder why? I was working on getting...
