I've also stepped to the darkness...

This pretty sums up my view about this subject.
I'm 60, still riding Choppers, messing with cars, gals (my wife ) and booze. Life will slow you down a bit but more active you are, happier and healthier you'll be. Don't ever stop. Train karate, go to gym, go to see gigs and dance like nobodys watching you, and most of all don't give a fuck.
That's actually almost the best part being in the last quarter of your life. Not giving a fuck. If you have done so in earlier life, after fifty you usually start not to.
I think the best part of getting old is to see that your kids get along in life and to see grandkids grow up. Small things make me happy.

Had a fuckin great weekend

Last sunday us and few friends were kicking up the mood at a huge company party (1300 guests) with some wild rockabilly dancing. ( 888's got me sweating everywhere)

@injunjack sweet, we're going to be installing that setup on my buddy's shovel soon. i like the stance and proportions of that bike man

when adjusting the rear shock position, don't go too low, frame will scrape the pavement too easily. My forks are only 2" over of stock Sporty forks I think. Be prepared to cut the old swingarm in bits and pieces if it hasn't been taken off in decades, pain in the ass.
Also the thick 19 incher Shinko E270 does the trick. BTW this siu -80 FXS, Lowrider, so there is a bit more rake in the frame than in others, I've been told.
forgot to mention, Pike Bros Tee, IH 555-18s old version and Wesco Lou's.

this.... pic from yesterday

if unmodified comes back... count me in. Only custom would be a a inside breast pocket for a phone... and short enough torso....

This is an Indian...

I'd say going E instead of D in Lou's is needed. I'm usually 9D in all my shoes, like Wesco Bosses, and I took 9E in Lou's and they fit like other shoes/boots 9D. Just my experience (I have 2 pair of Lou's)

ha ha ... I cannot show my buckle rotation, or I'll be banned. (already happened once years ago... some sensitive people was around that time) So lets say I just use clipped corner buckles... on DIY belts.

now

and those were the days

I realized when quite young that I will loose my hair before I'm 30, and at 30 I started to shave what I had left,

Forget maths and statistics, if you want proof that Germans are the greatest drivers, I present to you Walter Röhrl. I rest my case

BS, May I represent you any finnish rallydriver aka Flying Finn.

that explains the need to slim down sleeves. I was just curious. (ride= ride a motorcycle) Thanks.

Tyler, do you ride?
