Engine Guards and Bar Ends

[metallyguitarded_imp]

Geez, MG that's a teaser of ever I saw one. Elaborate!

The bike looks great. I like the black guards and the way they disappear.

I also like the grab bar. Does Mrs MG find it increases her riding pleasure? I recall an earlier photo of the two of you and her concern that she may well slide off.

That's a story that will take some time. But I'll come back to it because it's somewhat amusing. It wasn't at the time, of course, but looking back, it gave me an interesting tale to tell. Let me give you a bit more of a teaser ... as the knife was being thrust at my heart, I dodged to the right. The blade sliced open my left tricep and left me with a permanent reminder of the day.

Thanks for the comments on the CB! It's funny, Mrs. MG seemed so happy to have the grab bar. I surprised her by not saying anything about it until I had it installed. She smiled and thanked me when she saw it. She even agreed to go on a ride with me - something that hadn't occurred since our marathon ride up to Los Angeles and back. This time we rode to a nearby restaurant, had lunch and came home. She told me that the ride was so much more comfortable and that she really enjoyed it. Thing is, she didn't use the grab bar at all! Haha. Still, I like it and will keep it on there. I'm certain she'll use it from time to time. It also provides me with convenient tie down spots for my cargo net.

I put some shelving up yesterday in the house (still haven't gotten around to doing it in the garage for my helmets) and we put up the panoramic photo from our LA ride:
