I was browsing around on the Nighthawk yahoo group and I came across this picture. I really like the way this looks.

I think I'm going to do something similar. I'll black out the side plastics but I'll also black out the windshield, maybe. It will look great with my Semi-Fender Eliminator.

I also took some quick shots of the bike with the actual homemade Semi-Fender Eliminator on it.

Broke the bike today

2008-06-05T17:51:00.000-07:00

So, I was walking by my bike in the garage today, and I bumped in to the rear left turn signal. The 22 year old rubber mount couldn't take the stress and it popped right off.

So I'm looking at it and I'm thinking "hmm, fender eliminator". So after a bit of research and a couple emails I get this picture:

Not mine, but similar to what I did, and what I will do (the mini-signals).
But I'll also drop the two mirrors down to one bar-end 2" mirror on the left handgrip.

I haven't posted about my new bike yet

2007-07-07T21:08:00.001-07:00

So I sold the old GS and I bought a newer bike.

It's a 1986 Honda Nighthawk CB700SC.

And this one actually works! No need to work on the engine for 6 months.

The cool thing about this bike is that my dad owned one when I was a kid, it's the first motorcycle I ever saw.

Pics!

And finally the bike in my garage:

Also, buy me a drink for my 21st birthday.

See post below!

Buy me a drink!

2007-07-02T23:15:00.000-07:00

So, July 10th is on the doorstep, which is my birthday, and that means I'll be 21 this year and legally be able to drink alcohol! Now, that said, I'm not that big of a drinker, but I do enjoy a good dark beer, or a well mixed shot of something or other. But I'm not that knowledgeable in the realm of liquors and beers. But we'll figure out how to fix that, momentarily.

My friend Karl and I were talking about my upcoming birthday and he mentioned "DieMonkeys, shit. i wish there was a way to buy you a beer over thenet" to which I responded "you can send me exact change via paypal, though, and I can promise it'll go toward a beer."

That got me thinking. I know that at least one person is willing to do it, why not ask all of my internet friends what their favorite drink is and offer them the chance to buy one for me. So, I made up a button for my paypal account and it'll be posted at the bottom.

The rules for this are you must mention which drink I must purchase in the paypal comment box and then send enough money to cover it, and I promise (all you have is my word, though most of you should know I'm a man of my word) that I will only use that money to purchase said drink, and maybe tip the barkeep.

If you can get it to me before I leave for the Bahamas on the 9th I will try to find the drink down there. Otherwise it'll have to wait till the 14th when I'll be able to check my email.

Now, I don't plan on drinking all the drinks in one night, I'm gonna pace my self. But I'll let you know what I thought it of the next day or as soon as I can contact you.

So, I will say this before hand, thank you for the birthday drinks!

Buy me a drink!

Whoa! Auralgasm!

LISTEN TO IT!

Yay, Motorcycle + Move!

2006-12-17T15:42:00.000-08:00

Yay, moving!

Yay, motorcycle!

I leave after Christmas up to Virginny.

Hoorah!

Woo!

2006-09-11T21:25:00.000-07:00

Motorcycle this coming weekend!

What a boring night

2006-07-29T18:35:00.000-07:00

I'm "stuck" at home tonight. Well, I'm not exactly stuck, but I just don't feel like going out. My lovely girlfriend is busy working at Movie Gallery with the big boss-man so I can't stick around there for hours on end.

So yeah... Bored.

2006-07-25T13:53:00.000-07:00

I'm getting closer to being able to buy a bike. That GS650Gl I was going to get is no longer available, but I'm still hooked on the GS series of bikes, I'm gonna look around at those along with Ninjas.

I have close to $800 saved up for the bike, I've never held onto that much money for very long. It's amazing...

PS. New Dave Ramsey links at the bottom, mmk?

MSF Done!

2006-07-23T18:49:00.000-07:00

Ok, I finished the MSF course and passed. I did fall once, during emergency braking, had turned to get centered on the entrance but the front wheel was turned slightly to the right, so when I hit the brake it skidded, I panicked and gripped harder, went down then just let go and put my hands out. No damage other than my pride, my teknic gloves worked wonders and I landed in a mid-pushup position so my helmet came out ok (was more worried about damaging helmet than the bike). After that I was gunshy, went through emergency braking again and took my time and stopped at 50ft (end of the markers). When I went through the evaluation the front wheel ended at 30ft and I did fine with everything else, though I think I may have messed up in the double-u-turn just a tad, might have touched or barely gone over the lines but I was busy looking where I was going not where I was. I aced the written exam and got my card and bumpersticker (Look Twice Save a Life).

So now I'm dead exhausted, I spent the last 4 hours at my gf's house because she was upset because I did not specify that Sunday is part of the Weekend MSF Course. I left early (usually with her late at night) because I was falling asleep. Barely able to stay up now, but I needed to post while my memory was still fresh.

Hoorah, MSF!

2006-07-22T17:14:00.000-07:00

I had my MSF range day today. It was teh jawesome. I cannot wait to get my bike (see picture above)! We basically just rode around learning the basics but that was still pretty fun.

After the course riding back from Knoxville, TN isn't going to be the chore I thought it would be, but a rather pleasurable ride.

2006-07-21T08:03:00.000-07:00

Yay, first post!

2006-07-21T08:00:00.000-07:00

Hey... Yeah...

I get to go to my first day of MSF stuff today!

Also, it's my girlfriend's birthday today! She's great.

Oh, and I get to go to school this afternoon to sign up for classes. Fo' shiz.
