SO! i decided to ride the beast to and from work the past 2 days, about 25 miles there and back, did that twice. i can't get off her now that's she's back together!
2day was lookin a little rainy but i went for it anyway. went from lantana and 95 to palm beach lakes blvd and 95...not too bad.
cruised @ 70 with no problem, saw some choppers and everything was dandy....til i get off 95 and i hear CLANK CLANK CLANK! that's funny, i didn't run over a soda can....well i got to the job down the street and realized it was my left side panel. had to run back down and pick it up off the side of the road. my nice flat black half gone, all dented....thank God she's a rat now!
i park right near the entrance under an overhang so no rain and i can keep an eye on her....a couple of old dudes were checking her out...made me proud!
there's electrical stuff under that side panel...i don't know what...but i'm sure it's not supposed to get wet....even though i'm not sure how much water that cover holds back...oh well...
character is added by the day!!
