Hey, I'm going to ride my chopper all winter down here. This is the best weather for riding. Summer is really hot and humid.
In the summer, it's mostly early morning and evening rides. Now that it's cooled down, it's perfect. High 60's at night; low 80's or high 70's in the day time.
I'll be put putting around.

That's "Bad Ass" looking Moe. You will need to start a new thead on this build.Building a Redneck Monoshock, 330 rear, RSD. Using the BD motor and my American Suspension front end. I'll start posting pictures soon, waiting forever for this frame and wheels to show up, nobody moves fast enough for me.

I know, it didn't sound like much until I wrote it down just now
I'm almost done with the welding table, we made a trip to the steel yard last weekend and picked up a bunch of square tubing (table) and c-channel (squat rack). I've been putting in some ridiculous hours on these projects (at least 30 last weekend, if not more, and a good 4-5/day on top of my 12-hour work schedule). Plus there's the house which still needs trim in the living room and dining room, and kitchen cabinets. I also have to re-do all the wiring in the basement, since I ran about 200,000 miles of 1/2" conduit. I need to rip all that out, run a 2" conduit around the perimeter of the basement and then snap into drops in the outer wall. It should be cleaner and will make it easier to finish the basement in 2012.
no rest for the wicked
