Today is probably one of the first days that I actually used the time from midnight to about 30 minutes ago to do what you're supposed to do. Sleep. It's great. It's supposed to be a clear day today, with any luck I'll get the bike all cleaned and buttoned up and ready to be inspected and ridden by noon.

Thanks for the early morning laugh.
And +1 for cool looking holsters!
I'd describe it as cool. As long as it's not vomit, I'm cool with gross "poo poo". Hell, when I had my apendix out in the 8th grade, I snapped a picture of my wound the day after I got home so I could get a close up look of the clear bandage holding all the orange puss.

Do you have an industrial sewing machine?
No, not yet. I do the stitching by hand. Hopefully back in the States I can get one. I'm wanting to do some motorcycle bags and such but I'm not going to try those big items until I have a machine. It'd take me forever by hand

As it is now, a holster takes 1.5-2hrs.
Your work is very good. Those stitches are nice and even. Do you prepunch the holes?

Thank you. I do. I make the grooves, then run a stitch wheel and punch with an awl.

Today 06/06/08 I bought a 1979 Yamaha XS 750
It's kinda rough but it was cheap. A little elbow grease and some flat white paint and she'll look...cheap and used.

Can you say cafe.

Now why would you purposefully go and buy one of those monstrosities?
Personally, I don't like em, but then again, you're the one with the money, I'm guessing they know that!
Congrats on the new ride anyway though!
Even if it is a monstrosity

Some guys never grow out of Legos and Tonka trucks.

yesterday, got the bike inspected "man, any more miles and i couldn't pass you, these tires are almost gone." "eh, i'll just keep turning" "or drag kneed down a straight road" gotta love it when the inspection guy's got a sense of humor

Also had to hook the blinker back up in the middle of the inspection. oops.
Today, I went to the hondasakimaha dealer. First time I havn't activly drooled on anything. Though the HJC helmets with the built in sun visor is pretty "procreating" slick, and even clears the glasses.

I have a CKX helmet with the integrated flip down sun visor, Its not bad, but I find its a little blurry (could be the plastic used for the sun visor, you never know) and it fogs up fairly easy. I prefer to use sunglasses. I guess if you have prescription glasses that could be a bit of a problem though.
