This is the bruise on my inner/rear/upper thigh from the oil tank cap hitting me while kickstarting. It feels worse than it looks. Decent hematoma. :?

FD,
Winston is looking very good , not so much the thigh. You need to see a Doctor.

No way. They just want your money. 8)

Looking good. 8) Is that a stainless header?

FastDoc · 06-25-2011, 09:54 PM

I believe so.

Ain't that the truth! :P

In regards to Winston, a little polish goes a long way! The bike looks great.

However, the "ape hanger" handlebars have got to go.

Been keeping an eye out but FD must be off Hog riding.

Just got back from mini-vacation with Miss Megan in Montana. Will report back soon.

FastDoc · 07-04-2011, 11:19 PM

Here's the bike with the new correct handlebars, tires, mirrors, and switches. I cleaned up the wiring. NOW the bike is looking pretty original and it's handling is much improved.

SpudRider · 07-05-2011, 01:06 AM

Welcome back, Doc! I hope you and Miss Megan had a good time in Big Sky Country.

Those handlebars look much better!

A definite improvement; the new tires and bars changed the whole attitude.

Barnone · 07-05-2011, 11:25 AM

FD,
She looks perfect. Thanks for saving her as original. I'd be interested in her when you get tired of her.
