Awesome! Thanks much.

Because the left's mounts were crap. Damn things blew off going down the road. My original '83 XS650 was missing hers, too.

Damn, nice find! And a great price. Other than the seat, she looks better than Rusty did when I bought her. Mileage gave me a chuckle. Looks like she might be missing the left side covers, but honestly, far as I can tell, replacing the lower just gives us another one to lose. I kinda quit looking.

Speaking of, I'm actually getting closer to having Rusty back (My mechanic quit mid rebuild/mod). I can't get Doc to sign off on me riding again, yet, but it's coming. Having said that, we're likely to get our snowy winters back now. We've gone from multiple feet storms every other week winters...

No more convertibles here. Love the look, love the feel, have STUFF. Totally amazed at how much STUFF there's room for in the c6's fliptop rear end (hatchback -- SOO much luggage area for a pretty).. Can't travel anywhere without the laptop backpack and a go-bag, minimum. Try stuffing any of the...

C4, yes? I'm bad about that. I know our '05 is a C6, first year, and the '79 was a C3 -- those went thru 1982. Remember that because the first time I wrote a collectable car into a novel (About 25 years ago) I used a 1983 Corvette. Surprise. They didn't exist.

And now she's in the shop to fix the front spoiler bracket something. That plasticy thing that sticks down right behind the front bumper, where a skid plate would be? There's a missing bracket that needs aluminum welded, and no one close would touch it. Took her to Keystone Corvettes in the...

The first ('79) and the current (2005) both have plenty of luggage space -- the 05's a hatchback, even. No issues there. In between, though, there was a mid 90s convertible. Even with the top UP we couldn't get more than a day bag and a cell phone shoehorned in that one. Still a blast to drive...

Congrats to your daughter. Personally I think cancer needs term limits. No one should have to deal with cancer twice. While I wholeheartedly endorse that plan, I do all the screenings annually... not going to sneak up on me again.

Three weeks out. Still tired, but at least all the drains are out. Likely be another few weeks before I can ride. But at least I'm driving again! Rusty and Busted Knuckles are on my visitation rights list this week.

Gettin there. Just taking longer now (at 65) then it did at 55. And I'm really glad the bike's at Busted Knuckles, because I'd be out in the garage futzing with the carbs -- still -- and I'm not allowed to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk yet.

Jonesin' for a ride in the Vette, as well. Can't get in ours post surgery just yet. Well, OK, I could get IN. Pretty sure I can't get back OUT.

Nope. Never done that. No clue what you're talking about... nor have I looked up my daughters' phones to help them back to Starbucks, along with their debit cards...

Rusty got put on hold due to the mechanic who's working on the carbs being out. Carbs are rebuilt and back on the bike but the rest of the putting back together's in a box next to her at the back of the shop. Haven't been in to visit her since the week of August 23rd, due to a scheduled...

Err, I'm sure I wouldn't know anything about OCD. I'm getting frustrated waiting to get Rust back. Parts for the carb rebuilds came in, now the mechanic's out. I'm wanting to go get her, boxes and bits and all, and get back to work.

I'd like to think I could do that. But I try not to lie to myself anymore... You rock!

Shiny! We need a section for Concept Bikes... and yes, AI makes that easier to fake, I know, but aren't concept anythings kind of fake vehicles-that-never-happened anyway?

I wish...

Holy crap. No license is bad enough, but no power tools? I couldn't function. Come the apocalypse, she with the most tools (and the best generator) wins. Speaking of, I'm jonesing for one of those whole house natural gas generators. Unfortunately my DH (Translates several way, including Darling...

Preaching to the choir here. Pretty much the case industry wide -- and not just this industry. We run a publishing company. We produce, market, and sell books (Women's Action fiction/Romance). You want a lesson in utter frustration, try getting authors to market their own books. The ones who...
