Norsky said: I've been spending a fair amount of time in the garage this spring doing little odds and ends on "The Toy" in anticipation of driving it to The Gathering.  Then the other night my bride makes the statement that I better save some energy for prepping "The Beast" for the trip in May. 


Ha!  I know that feeling in my motorcycling world.  I'm the state rep for an Italian motorcycle club(Moto Guzzi).  My wife wants to spend time on the back of the Honda Goldwing (Lexus on two wheels..I cannot blame her) vs a more sporty ride/smaller seat on one of my Italian Stallions.  
I lead the rides so I feel bad how it looks when the "head dog" is riding a different brand.  They know who wears the pants in the family so they do cut me some slack and she bakes great treats for them so they don't complain.    Sometimes I do have to override her vote on cycle choice.

I just put in (this past weekend in between snow storms) a set of Corbeau A4 seats.  The 40 year old originals drug my butt down the road.  The A4s sure sit a lot better.  This next weekend in between snow, baseball, and football will be new steering hoses.  Then it is time to head north. 
 
Are we there yet???



finally arrived and rarin' to ride

Sarge, what happened? We all want to know! . . . . I had a successful voyage today. I ventured out to Norsky's turf. My wife found a dress and the Vette ran great driving around the lakes, win-win if you know what I mean. . . .

I'm quite certain you'd win. The Camaro isn't even the SS this time.
