Title: Got the lower fairing back from paint.
Post by: Jake D on September 29, 2006, 09:00:19 AM
Ronnie at Krazy Kustoms in KC got done re-painting the lower fairing I got for my Super Hawk.  It looks good.  I had to reverse engineer the brakets and mounting points, since it didn't come with directions (used).  Anyway.  I got it installed last night and took some pictures in the dark.  I'll put better ones up when I get some daylight photos.  Here is what I have for now.

 :)  Thanks!  Locked gated and it sits right under a security camera!   :laugh:

I'm sure if you "wander around" long enough you could find me downtown.  Unless I'm riding then I'll be out in the twisties.  :thumb:

You guys have the big happenings this weekend.  Iowa v. Ohio State.

Looks great!  Glad it wasn't too difficult to install.  Man, everyone wants in on your pimp lifestyle.  Boys, you just are going to have to earn it, cause pimpin' ain't easy.  But you can see it from the street, kind of like at the zoo!

It is like a zoo exhibit from the street.  Don't get too near the bars!

Saturday morning ride?  Early.  I don't want to miss Mizzou v. Colorado.

Can't, have to get the pickup inspected and the tags paid for.  Then we are going to watch the American Royal Parade.   Sorry.

Maybe go to the Home Depot.  Then you might go by Bed Bath and Beyond.  But you don't know if there will be time.

Yeah, yeah. 

Fine then.  I will go riding myself.   :flipoff:

Hey, your birthday is coming up, thought I would get you some nice bath salts for your delicate buns. 

Besides who cares about CU vs. MU?  If the Tigers don't smoke 'em, then they don't deserve a top 25 rating. Even though, KSu had alwyas had a tough time with those guys.  And on Sunday, the greatest Sport weekend in Kansas City, I get to go to the Renaissance Fair for my wife's friends birthday!  :thumb:  Should I just mail you my man card of do you want it hand delivered?  :bs:

Wait. . . I thought your man card was still in your wife's purse (with your balls)?  :cheers:

Hey, are you dressing up for Ren Fest?  Pics.

Well, sire, how was the Ren Fest?

Good weeekend.  Mizzou dominated and I went to the Chiefs game.  They beat the stuffing out of the 49ers.

I've seen the 49ers play in Arrowhead twice, and each time was a huge blowout.  The first was in 1998 I think, with Steve Young at the helm.

I actually got out of it for now, my wife's friend had a sick kid!  I may have to go next weekend, though.

Mizzou looked good, glad to see that they didn't fall on their faces, unlike some teams...

Are you pumped for Jamaica, yet?

Yeah, Eva came over last night and did a bunch of Laundry for me so I don't smell like a Yeti on the plane. 

I just need to throw some stuff in a bag, grab my passport and get up to the airport. 

I'm so excited. 

My brother and I decided to get tatoos while we are down there.

I'm going to get "My Brother's Keeper" across my stomach in old english letters.  Should be pretty sweet.

BTW, dude.  I am pissed!

My new bar ends are freakin' Gondi.  Looks like I get to put the stockers back on.  What a rip.  The bolt in the new bar ends was too short to really get it tight.  So. . . I'm sure they went bouncing through somebody's windshield at 90 miles per hour.

Wow!  I have never heard of that happening before. Did you notice them when they fell off?  That is crazy.

Post by: Jake D on October 02, 2006, 11:47:07 AM
No, I didn't notice.  But only one is gone.  The right side.  The left is there but loose a heck.

What a waste of $12.   :laugh:
