Got her bike done Saturday night at about 11 pm. Crazy day...had to color sand and re-polish the bars in the morning...they got scratched somehow. Got back home and I was putting oil in the trans at 10:30 that night. Then we fired it...OMG!! This beast fired on the first turn and sounds great!! Took both bikes to the L.A. Calendar bike show in Long Beach yesterday. Rode hers for the first time there...everything looked ok. Well while I was cleaning my bike... guess who walks up...only Chip Foose! And he wants to tell me how much he likes my bike and how he loves the paint job. Of course I tell him I got the Idea from him and his show Overhaulin. He starts going over my bike and says how beautiful and detailed it is and how much he loves the real fire paint job and that mine is one of the best he's seen...FREAKIN CHIP FOOSE LIKES MY BIKE!!! So I ask him if I could have a picture of him standing next to my bike and says...of course. I didn't see him do that with any other bike...To me that was like one of the coolest things to happen to me. Also a LOT of pretty girls walking around.Anyway my bike takes a second it its class and she didn't win anything. Now its time to ride...Sturgis in 2 and a half weeks!!
Hope you guys like the pictures

Another quick story from yesterday. A really pretty girl walks up with her boy friend and tell me she spotted my bike from across the show and had to see it...now I could tell she had a few drinks in her...so then she asked me about the seat and asks me if I ride it...I tell her yes...otherwise it's just a piece of art to hang on a wall...Well As you can tell from the picture it's real alligator and the fins stick straight up...the seat builders idea and people are always talking about weather its comfortable or not...it is and I don't feel them when I'm riding...thats what I told her. She comes back with" I know I'd ride it...in fact I'd ride it NAKED just for the thrill"...I told her I like your thinking and can I take pictures...she laughed and walked off...nice visual though

Well we got her on it last night for the first time. Had to change the pipes to something that tucks in closer to the heads...I burned my legs on the other pipes...we like the other pipes better so when we get back from Sturgis were going to chop the old pipes up and make a new set. Still breaking it in so were riding every day this week untill we leave next week. She loves it and she looks great on it...she wants to get on it to see what it will do...hp junky!!

You know what they say..."If the queen is happy...the kingdom is happy" She could not stop smiling.
