petitepedal ★ Posted August 2, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2015 I just had a nice loud train go by...I am thinking about getting to the grocery store...for the regular stuff..and maybe getting in a short walk before it gets too hot. Humidity is on the agenda,,,but thankfully only for the next 2 days...then we have some 70's coming...Kirbie would love that!!! This weekend has been...Little Canada Days...the most I have ever participated ir two years in a row...I have gone for a bike ride and come back in the middle of the parade...one year with 3 ears of corn in my jersey pockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted August 2, 2015 Share #3 Posted August 2, 2015 The wife and I are heading out for 4 or 5 days. Next stop Dubuque Iowa. What is that? Looks to be an older motor, before the EVO? I am guessing late 80's? Looks like a fatboy style front end but not wheels. I would say an older softtail with bags added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And the whole point of a softtail is that the shocks are not visible.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And the whole point of a softtail is that the shocks are not visible....When I put the saddle bags on I had a lot of people asking if it was a new fatboy.The motor has been updated to 80ci from the 74ci. The Transmission was updated from a 4 to a 5 speed and the exhaust pipes are home made. What can I say Wisconsin are long and cold. If I just sit in the garage and drank beer people would say that I have a problem but if I drink beer while working on motorcycles than there's no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as Harley-illiterate as I am, I can tell a Knuckle, from a Shovel, from a Blockhead...... After that, the alphabet soup names leave me scratching my head.

I know that footballs and basketballs my dog can destroy in :30. Baseballs are the ones that last a little longer.That's about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted August 4, 2015 Share #14 Posted August 4, 2015 The wife and I are heading out for 4 or 5 days. Next stop Dubuque Iowa. Is East Dubuque still the sin city it was about 20 years ago? Main street was lined with about a dozen strip clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
