What up?
I've been riding, clocking up the miles as always
The Beemer is now at 50,000km with a service booked for next week.
The great weather and the Beemer being a week out from the service meant the Harley was on daily duties for 4 out of 5 days this week. The Harley is now somewhere between 8 & 9000km so its chugging along as well.
Jiu Jitsu Jimmy, a mate of mine recently got his bike license and picked up one of the learner legal Harleys he's loving every minute. I took him out for a decent pedal on cup weekend, plenty of high ways, bi-ways and even some twisties. Now we're planning the next road trip and I can't wait.
Speaking of road trips I also recently drove the whole fam in the party bus to Queensland for a bit of a holiday. We hit up the theme parks and just had a general beach bum around.
I also caught up with long time IG mate Dog A.K.A. @whitelinepsycho We shot the shit about life and bikes and it looks like I'll be road tripping up North again to meet up at the Machine show in late March.
I also straddled his Sportster of some 6 years 100.000km in age - the "Purple Penis" just for shits and giggles. Its one of my favourite bikes and Dog embodies so much of what it means to be a two wheeled terror.
I came back from Queensland to quite a bit more work so i've been doing some solid hours these past few weeks, its all good as i'm doing the exact type of work I love now.
So with the extended hours most of my riding have been earlier mornings and later in the evening. Doing over 1000km on the Harley this past week and thinking forward to a few road trips on the radar has me considering the next round of changes I want to make.
The fact is I'm not as comfy as I'd like, its a combination of three things:
I still haven't decided but as far as next steps I figure I might as well mock up the apes I have and reassess.

The fact is I'm not as comfy as I'd like, its a combination of three things:
- I'm a fat ass, I need to shift more than a few kegs
- The bars are too low and a little too narrow
- The tyres feel like rocks
I've really gone back and forth on setting this bike up as a bobber versos a more street fighter/muscle bike.
I still haven't decided but as far as next steps I figure I might as well mock up the apes I have and reassess.
