Title: An apology... Post by govmule84 on 01/30/08 at 05:58:42 ...to all my Savagers. I have been a pretty bad board member recently. A few of you may remember my post in the marketplace trying to sell my bike for my move to CT.... ...to those I was going to find tins for - I do still have them, and my old roommate is going to ship them to any takers as soon as I get some money together. The move went fantastically. My bike did not move at all in the trailer...(word of advice...if you anchor the bike from ABOVE, you don't need to compress forks.) My new home in CT is pretty rough on my bobber. Apparently, the nice Smokey at the DMV thinks I need front and rear fenders, a horizontal mount license plate, a plate light, a muffler, and a chain guard. If any CT riders want to tell me if and how they skirt The Law, I'd be appreciative. Additionally, I just wanted to thank all of you guys who gave words of advice. My girlfriend is great, and our new kid is having a blast...a little routine in his life is doing him fantastically. My mom is proud, so if that's any indicator of how things are going, awesome. Savagers...you guys are the best. I'm sorry when I don't check my messages for a long time or let stuff fall through occasionally. Y'all are alright by me! Ride safe! Liam |

Title: Re: An apology... Post by T Mack 1 on 01/30/08 at 06:40:04 Liam, We do like happy endings....glad to hear you kept the bike, and that move went well. As for fenders.... I wonder if they have a definition of fender ;) . It maybe time to get an old fender, put a pattern on it and cut into it, turning it into a "minimun" fender. Maybe a skull & cross-bones to match the new T-shirts.... ;D Ooohhh ... wait.... got a new kid.... you need tele-tubbies or maybe SpongeBob ;) T-Mack from Eastside PA |

Title: Re: An apology... Post by verslagen1 on 01/30/08 at 07:35:46 Great! Glad things went well for you (mostly). ::) Above all, to make a mariage work, be honest, be vocal, keep the other honest and beside you, not in front or behind, unless you're riding. ;D |

As for the funny things "the Man" is makin' you do to dilute your Bobber ... well, lets just say that most laws can be "bent" almost to the breaking point! ;) Good luck in life dude ... and with keepin' your Bobber "pure" 8-) |

Title: Re: An apology... Post by Savage_Greg on 01/30/08 at 13:07:10 Welcome back. They're probably just giving you a hard time for a new registration, and won't be a problem too often. How about just getting another old fender with taillight, license plate light, and frame. Since yours is kinda stripped down, it won't be too hard to swap them quickly for the inspection. Don't even remove the vertical mount for the plate. Just swap 4 bolts, plug in the wires and go. Got your old muffler and belt guard? I have a belt guard on eBay if ya want it. Whew, makes me glad to be in Washington State. No inspection of any kind. |

Title: Re: An apology... Post by govmule84 on 01/31/08 at 12:46:35 Second the part about the 'passenger' modifying 'registration'. Since the thing is still copper-colored, I was thinking about hand-hammering some copper fenders...that might look cool. And kids are dang cute. Powdered Dougnuts = "Powered Donuts" Restaurant = Resternont Belly Raspberries, also known as Zerberts = Mouth Farts Pork = Pig Meat And evening prayers are hopefully decoded by the Deity, because I cannot understand the words he says, and I doubt he can either. |

Title: Re: An apology... Post by T140V on 01/31/08 at 18:20:07 I'm glad your move is the best for you. Now get a mud guard for the rear of you passenger vehicle. Yes you are the passenger of the vehicle weather your the driver or not. Oh yeh, throw the mud guard away when the DMV is finished. |

Title: Re: An apology... Post by Paladin. on 01/31/08 at 20:44:49 I don't know... a hammered copper fender, several coats of clear lacquer -- would make chrome look tawdry. |
