Cool aww mann !!

Drove 120miles one way down to the jerz shore.First long trip straight highway(i love back roads).

No problems whatsoever she ran sweet!

Next day drove back up the Garden state parkway pit stooped last exit to get the less taxed jerz fuel. went over the bike shes all nice and tight running fine.

back the rest the way up New york state Thruway,pull into my drive...

AWW MAN...where the hell did my tail light go?

Funnything is the other day i just put on one of those willie g skull tail light visors(used red lock-tight too) even double check it at the gas station while i cleaned off some dried dew from the morning.

well its only a total of $40 to have both replaced thanks to ebay, but now i can ride(legaly) till shes fixed

AWWW Mannn

At least you were on the ironhead that was loosing parts. I was behind my buddy when his decided to try the same trick. The lens bolt backed out, bounced off the road, and hit me in the love handle. That stung, even through leather.

Any shop that caters to the Civic Nation tuner crowd; any auto performance shop.
