OK…here’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it
After moddin’ my bike this past Saturday (OEM Backrest w/ Rear Rack, Windshield, Engine Guard) I decided to take the necessary “Victory” ride.
Being the practical guy that I am…Mmmost of the time anyway
… I decided to combine my ride with a destination. I had to cut my Dad’s lawn in Xenia about 20min. from my home.
All is well as I’m purrin’ along 35E…wind blowin’…sun shinin’. …Ahhhhh Sweetness.
Tinktinktink…
ta-tinktink…
tinktinkWhat was that???
After scanning the bike I realized that I forgot to put the holding screw back into my left side panel!
rrrrRRRRRRAAAAaaatttttssss!
LSS…I got my Dad’s grass cut and decided to call my local bike shop to see what a replacement would run me. 8 ½ min. on the phone later, I find out that a LFT side panel…with shipping and tax of course…will only loosen my wallet..
$97.16!!!!I finished up the yard, told my Pop I loved ‘im and headed back to that stretch of highway!
After walking ¼ mile through 2 foot high grass in the center median with traffic buzzin’ by at 60-65 mile per hour and horns yellin’…I FOUND IT!
Scraped up a bit but not scrunched…SO…I decided to paint it.
After 2 coats of gloss black and 1 coat of clear coat…spray paint cans BTW…It still doesn’t have that mirror finish…
How do I get that back?
Hope you had a good laugh and I await any bodymen’s response...
Thanks!
