Winter Bike Project . . .

Recommended Posts

Rode 9INA twice since the first ride (can't get "NINA" on her plates, it's taken, so 9INA she'll be.) I put twenty miles on her last night and a couple more this morning. And I got my first civilian wave.

An older lady (a Couger?) looked up from her gardening as I passed. I thought she was going to give me the stink eye but she smiled wide and shot me a big wave. Maybe I should have pulled over for a booty call . . .

Last night was killer. It was warm and like only So Cal can be like in the spring. I wanted to keep going forever. But after I passed the second cop going the other way I decided to call it a night.

I've got an appointment at the DMV on the 16th of June for 9INA's plates but I'll have to be careful until then as I just can't stay off her. Like being a newly wed I guess . . .

I got close to perfect, but there were a couple of issues. My clutch cable slipped down and melted a bit of its casing on my front pipe, but not all the way through, so I fixed that. And my oil pressure gauge is weeping a bit of oil where it enters the block, but so far that's it. I'll chalk it up to luck and all the years I worked on airplanes. Where everything has to be right.

Hey Gypsy, if you're cool with it, after I get 9INA's license plates, I'd love to come by and show her to you. If that's all right PM me your address. It would be a good "first trip" for me.

If you don't want me to know where all the cool knuckle parts are located we could certainly do it the other way around and your invited to my place . . . LOL!

Ah, just suck it up and wait at the DMV instead of waiting for your appointment day. You know you want to!

And once you've got her street legal, maybe you can ride 'er down to Lucky Baldwin's ... I could use another coupla beers there and I'm down in this area most weeks.

It doesn;t work that way...the Highway Patrol has to inspect it and his papers!

Are you kidding? I lived in the Perris Ghetto for ten years and still visit often.

I'm totally at home with white (black, red, and yellow) trash . . .

Yeah, Gypsy's right, the frigging DMV is only the first step. It's a "bring me the broom of the wicked witch of the west" pain in the ass process. But you have a tentative date.

I want to enter 9INA in a Chopper of the Month contest on another forum I frequent and that alley behind Baldwins would be a great urban backdrop for the photographs. But I need a girl draped over her looking real sleezy. I already know you've got the goods (I've dreamed them a few times) but can you do sleezy?
