+BLACK FUZZ+

rework

Sometimes the things that aren't broken are the ones that need fixed the most. Couldn't stand the huge & ugly stock clamp, so I shaved up the lever & fabbed a new weld on mount. I'll get better pics after I test it out & get it completely finished.

Yuba River Ride

I went exploring yesterday & this ride was a blast! Thought I'd go for an hour or so & ended up closer to three. Being that I rarely made it to third gear, I only burned about a half tank of gas too! I've already got plans in mind for an over-nighter or two next year. I also had a nice little talk with the local law enforcement on my way home about my motorcycle & it's lack of mirrors & signals. Oops.

The one that got away...

This bike showed up on another blog & I had to steal the pic. This is my "one that got away". About 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to buy this killer little Indian Scout (yes, this very bike) but at the time the price seamed too steep. So I let it go & I've regretted it ever since. Good to see it's still in the SF bay area though.

Good Times...

The Throwbacks Season Closer was a great time. Even though I was only able to make it to a couple of them this year, Flashback Fridays have become one of my favorite events. The vibe here is totally friendly & just like they state in their flyers, no attitudes. That combined with a super diverse crowd of some incredible bikes really makes for a great time. To top it all off there was even a live rockabilly band. Now how can you beat all that?
