I know it don't sound like a big score,but it Is when you can't find anywhere. I got 2 of em for less than a pack of smokes. Now I don't have to stare at the bike without em.  |

I don't think anyone here cares if your Kawi is missing parts.  |

Do not forget to post pics if someone brings their bike over to change the oil or add air to the tires.  |

Stay tuned for the pics detailing all of my activities after arriving back home......including me going to the bathroom, making dinner, eating dinner, cleaning up the dishes, watching TV, and getting ready for bed. |

I must say Matt you are quite photogenic !!! You really should get a portfolio done of yourself. So that when the carpentry industry slows down you can always have something to fall back on. Good thing it was a cloudy day when you took them pics otherwise the glare would be to much. You've put much thought and work into this little diary of yours. Obviously you weren't working....Hmmmm..... |

That...was ball busting funny!
Okay...what happened to your fuse cover since the Hoot? I don't remember that beautiful view of those fuses - something that no die hard CB1100F'er would ever forget.

Very nice Matt. It is a shame that most people do not take pics of everything they do.  |

Holy cow, just think of the type of photo journalism Matt might have initiated.
Lets see..........
Photos of me going to check the mail: That might take at least 20 or 30 photos. Imagine 13 frames of the mailbox door opening slowly to set the anticipation of what might have arrived.
Photos of me sleeping: Now this would be a real snoozer that is for sure....
Photos of me mowing the lawn: Have to take close-up macro shots of the sweat............ eeewwww Go to garage. Change calendar to new month. Look at Black Beauty. Look at mess. Contemplate cleanin git up. Naw don't think so today. Check mower oil. Check fuel.............. oooooops gotta put in fuel. Oooooops no fuel in spare gas can. Take can to Quickie Mart to get gas. Look at magazines. Buy a hotdog. Get back in car and go get it washed. Drive to fast food place and get something sweet. Drive home and try to remember what I was doing and OH YEAH..... mowing the lawn!!! Aha yes that's right it is out of gas. Get gas can outta the car and find out I forgot to put gas in it. Well its way too late to mow the lawn now. Take another look at Black Beauty. Close garage. Catch hell from wife about lawn still not mowed..............
Matt,
That was pretty cool and very funny but we cannot let this get out else it will get out of hand  |

Yeah, i didn't advertise it but i got in a wee bit of an accident shortly after returning from the Hoot.
Among other things, the fuse cover broke.....actually just the tabs that hold it on.
A buddy of mine said he was going to fix it but almost two months later still hasn't gotten around to it.
I won't name him but here's a pic. HINT: he's not the good looking bald one on the left.
