I can't believe you don't have a spare key. As soon as you find your key, you better get a couple of spares cut...and keep one on your house key ring.

Kinda ironic. Was test riding a bike for a friend (looking for his first bike, ended up on a NOS 2009 VStar 650 brand new OTD for $5308), and found a set of keys in the middle of an intersection. Seeing as I was on a low slung cruiser, I grabbed them as I went by. Pretty sure I looked even more awesome than I already do while riding... :roll:

Anyway turns out the ring had keys to both a Chevy and a Harley on it. When I got home, searched CL, and in the lost and found section someone was looking for HD and Chevy keys near where I found them. Returned them and the dude almost cried in happiness. He put them on top of his wife's car as he was talking to her and she pulled off. She went all the way around town, including 2 highways and the interstate twice before getting home. They fell off (miracle of miracles) 2 blocks from her getting home.

Man, Sylvan Lake sure looks different from the days when I used to ride my Nighthawk up there to check out girls on the beach. Nice vid. I'll have to get out there this year to see the changes - to the beach - not the girls. :laughing:

just reached the 2000 mile mark on cycling. AWESOME!

also... it really helps me when i ride with somebody. with the heat and riding solo... i usually cut it after 3 laps around the park. but today, i followed some random guy and did 30 miles (around 6 laps).

i don't think i'll be doing any 60 milers again anytime soon unless we get some overcast.

Tried to install my bar end mirrors on my MT-01...drilled out the threads for the end weights, then went to install the mirrors only to realize that the bar stops about 3/4" inside the grip...FRIGG!! Now I have to move the grips in so that the rubber for the bar end mirrors will grab the bar, not the grip which does nothing since it is rubber too...gonna get new grips since I'm having to remove the old ones anyway...don't want to ride without bar end weight, so no riding until this is complete.

Later.
