FrankenWing is still there, I just don't view that bike as a daily commuter. It takes forever to warm up, doesn't technically have turn signals right now, and I think it has some wiring issue that prevents me from trusting the brake light. Add those on top of the suspension, lack of exhaust past the headers, and generally obnixious appearance and it's more of a weekend fling bike, at least until I get it all fixed up right.

It starts every time and is fun to ride, but at least for now is more of just a fun novelty.

Just for you...



This is one of the videos we made for the TV show Country Fried Home Videos with Bill Engvall. Heather shoots a 410, a 20 gauge, a 12 gauge, and a 10 gauge. She uses targets such as dishes, beer, watermelons, and TV's. The 10 gauge packs huge massive recoil with it's 3.5" turkey loads. The 12 gauge was shooting 3" slugs.

She has really bad form...

On the other side Ofblong do you have friends who shoot?
If so have them show you the difference between the barrels. It's not a deer rifle per se. It has a rifled barrel for slugs to be more accurate, but is not a rifle by any means... The other barrel will also handle slugs but they'll be less accurate. But don't shoot birdshot/buckshot out of the rifled barrel or it could easily screw up the rifling and throw off your accuracy!

Yes I have friends who shoot. I shoot with their guns quite often. My wife and I paid off a HUGE bill so this is my present to myself. She got some things done to the house she has been wanting to do. Yes we paid cash for these items :D. I just wrote deer because thats what most people can associate the slug barrel with easier than saying slug barrel. When I pick the gun up I am going to buy some 3" Federal Sabots because I am seeing that those bullets shoot the best in this gun with the slug barrel. Not sure what 3 1/2" turkey loads I am going to buy yet though. I did buy a scope for this gun as well. I think I got one thats more than I need. I can see 200 yards very clearly with my new bushnell banner 3-9x 40mm. It was on sale for $80.

spent the day fixing small things in the house. Getting ready to put it up for sale.... We need a bigger home and are tired of this one. Course I fixed 4 things today and now have to deal with my water softner constantly running to the drain. So right now I have it in bypass mode until a day when I can get down there and pull it apart and see if the piston seal is bad or if its a clogged drain filter. Hopefully its the drain filter cause otherwise the piston seal is $65.
