New Mods to Friends bike and random things

This weekend turned out to be pretty good. I will start with the tech stuff.......I installed on my friends T100 some M bars. WAY better looking and handling IMO. I also took the front forks off the bike and cleaned them up nice and pretty then put on some gaitors. Man, that bike looks sweet now. Oh yes, my friend had a HUGE windshield on the front, which we ditched after putting on the bars.....once again, looks WAY better. I then talked him into ditching his AI (I had a complete spare set of the removal items etc). The bike looks clean now, no extra wires looming around, etc.

Oh yes, no pictures........sorry. I was to busy trying to get it all back together before he had to split.

Here is the not so tech stuff.......We (my wife, our friend on his T100 and myself) took a nice stroll up to Dixon (next to Davis Ca.) on Saturday. They had a vintage bike show going on. Some sweet bikes thats forsure. Not to many but the few on hand were **** cool.

The coolest thing of the weekend though, hitting the HWY with my hack, the wife on her Bonnie and our pal on his Bonnie T100. Crazy how many people give the thumbs up and whatnot. Just **** cool bikes that people of all sorts like to look and talk about. The last thing, I learned that my Thruxton and sidecar can do almost 100mph (almost, I figured that was tooo **** fast with the hack!) cruising on the HWY.....talk about a rush.

That was all, just sharing some mini tech items and random BS.
Cheers,
Chans

Speaking of hacks, I saw one up the street a bit with "Just Married" on the back of the hack. I'll have to go back when I get a chance and check out the bike. Looked fairly old, but I could only see the back.

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
