Been working tornado damage last 10 days non-stop 16 plus hours a day pulling down double time the entire time. Thought I'd use the money to dress up my new to me Goldwing . I ordered some chrome glad I didn't go nuts got in my pickup this morning and it was puking antifreeze in the floorboard .The dash has to come out to replace $525.00 its at the shop now. I never get ahead its always something I was making right at $960 a day with the chrome and truck I worked one day for nothing was getting so burned out I was seeing sh!t on the road that wasn't there.

Joe,

You sure do have a knack for prettifying a scooter!!! Hey, please don't burn yourself completely out... a whole bunch of us are counting on you to liven-up the evenings at upcoming rides! No fooling, you are one of those 'special people' who add so much to any gathering... Looking forward to sharing some wind with you soon... maybe a grain sandwich or two, also...

before you went near all out on being a chromeaholic,  did you ever consider doing an all blacked out Wing instead?   Some of the newer Wings with black rims, black engine having no chrome, blacked out exhaust, etc. look pretty sharp as well.

Yah,  when you start seeing things driving,  time to pull over and take a nap for a few hours.  I drove once attempting 18 hours straight from Florida back to WI (too cheap for a hotel somewhere in IL I guess?)  and could not make the last few hours from IL to southern WI had to have the wife drive the rest of the way I was seeing things that were not there as well, not good.  Nightime driving made it much worse even though much less traffic in IL.

         Joe-I was on I-10 in Arizona sometime in the 80s and had singled out from East Texas to California. East on I-10 in Az. and all of a sudden I saw the toll booth. Flashing lights booths the whole enchilada. All well and good cept-there are NO toll booths on I-10 in Az. at that time!  Lips Sealed Found a wide spot parked and crawled into the bunk. Sometimes ain"t nothing But sleep that will git yer head on straight. Good looking stuff on yer scooter. RIDE SAFE.

How about show us some pics of your customized blacked out wing so we can compare them. I love the looks of Joe's chromeulated wing.
