2014 Valkyrie 1800

Seminole, Florida


« on: January 19, 2014, 03:56:17 PM »

  I dumped a can of fuel treatment in the tank and hit the road this morning as soon as the frost melted off. It was cool enough that Andrea got to wear her new, 1 year old textile jacket for the first time. Someone here has posted about a sale and I found this jacket for under $50.00. Thanks again whoever you are. This is real nice, heavy gauge fabric, lots of pockets and zip vents, wind proof, water proof and the Teal is a close match to my bike. Wish I would have bought one for me.
This is the first time I've been out in a while, My back didn't bother me at all today. Hopefully work back into some longer rides.

  We hit some heavy traffic heading South along the Beach. It turned out to be the Treasure Island Kite Festival. I only then remembered Billyboy speaking of this event, he fly's Kites. This was a pretty cool event, choreographed to good music. A cold front moved in fast, you could see it rolling in.






This is a "Tow Away" sign to the left of me...we made it out safe.


This one is for the Club...


TropicTraveler...A big thank you for the kickstand pad cooldude A must in these Florida sand spur parking lots.
Jess from Va...A big Thank you for the gloves and boots. cooldude She loves them and they received their traditional hand rubbed mink oil treatment this morning.

 Kurry lens/bulb/bezel kit. If I were to do this again, I would choose a different color lens. The dark smoke appears to be a wash. The bulbs provided are very bright/visible though.

We had a fun day out together, even getting caught in a cold rain on the way home.
 I learned another fullface advantage, rain doesn't hurt your face cooldude

Happy to help Doug.  cooldude  Thanks for the mags! 

Confucius say........ if you wear gear mink-oiled the same day, you grease up the world (bike).  LOL


I sold a petite female set of top quality leather chaps and jacket to a buddy for his GF...... for peanuts.  It is a good thing he only loans them out....... because they are on their third or fourth user in under two years.   Guy goes thru match.com like Sherman thru GA.
