    Man you guys should have SEEN the place I delivered to in New Orleans; whoo! I’m talkin every turn off of Orleans Avenue and alike, nothin but buttonhooks and crossed fingers! First I pull into the front of the business, guy comes out and tells me to go down and hang a right lane then turn right on on the next block, said to turn wide but from experience when I got down there I knew I couldn’t make it; backed up, had just enough room by driving on a nice flat stretch of vacant curb to cut wide and barely miss a fire hydrant on the left end corner in order to make that right and wouldn’t ya know that guy neglected to tell me that end of the road was shut down with barricades that I was supposed to hang the next right on? So after coming back around on Orleans Ave again this crazy guy pulls across in front of me, realized he works for the company and was sent to help me get in there; we get back to the road I’m supposed to turn right on of course set up for another hook in the left lane, looked at my turn before committing to it and I see two cars on each side, waved him off saying no good; after a couple more hooks to get to the other side of Orleans Ave to hang a left instead I get it in there and finally to got in, but that’s not the best part; when it was time to leave I backed out into the kinda narrow/lightly traveled road with them blocking any traffic for me, then like a complete gangster blocked all 4 lanes of traffic on Orleans Ave backing up and hung a right to get out; cigar, please. :cool:

    Still Logan's ride? Or just teasing us with that KW hiding in the back.

    After the first of the year, I'll have a extra room in my garage. Just a thought.

    Oak Grove, KY for a nap. We bounced to TN out of MI with a slight detour by the house. Loaded up with 2 drops in OR next week.

    Well tomorrow I’m picking up coil(s), but first I gotta run by this hardware store and buy beveled timber, couple coil racks and some rubber; of course when I asked how many coils I’m picking up so that I know how many timbers I need, knucklehead replies with, “Just two timbers.” :rolleyes: Christ, doorstops are more useful

    The season 11 Archer was on Hulu. Way better than the last few seasons.

    I agree. Back to its roots. I was just pissed that it was so short. Another 5 episodes would have been great.

    S&S 117" that was spec'd for Bigdog (built mild and reliable for them). I have pics on an old phone I believe. I'll have to find it and connect it to wifi.

    It wasn't anything special, just factory black with ghost flames. I rode it for 4yrs. Sold it when I bought my Harley after moving to Tx.

    Basically just like this one:
