moving right along

#1 Unread post by m50 »

:motorcycle: Hey folks , M50 here.

Things have gotten a whole lot better since my last post on "right turns."
Right turns aren't a problem any more . I started riding to work last thursday. It's been fun exhilerating and exhausting. I'm haveing a wind shield put on next week. That should help out alot. I'm a big guy and catch alot of wind. Can any one direct me to a good source for custom wheels? I need 15" wheel on the back and it should be compatable with a shaft drive.

I must be at other arm pit. One good thing about it, open roads to ride on.

Not sure of any good sources, but expect to pay about half as much as your bike stickered for for a decent set.

Hey niterider , hows the weather down there. Did you get any overflow from stamford. I'm in Wichita Falls. It's to the NNE of Roby.
look at the map and you'll see what I mean by armpit. Good to meet you. :cowboy:

Roby got shorted in rain we only got about 2.5 inches. But south of McCaully the road got washed out that a man driving to work fell into it with his pick up and got killed in the accident. Take care.

Why do you think you need a 15" wheel? I'm curious.
