To the Roost!

John, Grace (his wife), Carl, and I are headed down to the Rider's Roost in Ferguson, North Carolina for the World Honda Chopper Meet 10th Anniversary!

I had to take the trailer for the day to swing by and add a piece o channel to the rear so my bike would actually fit. It's rediculous how short 9 foot trailers have gotten.
Someone says this needs a safety flag. Screwwww it.


Perfect fit!

Now it's down to the roost for one hell of a party!

Wait... That was a different kind of party. Check out the Rider's Roost website for more information about the place. It's spectacular. The people are great, the facilities are top notch, the scenary is unsurpassed, the great roads are never ending, and the river through the Roost will wash all of your troubles away.

Pair-o-dice

Took the new long bike out for its maiden voyage this weekend. 3" of trail and a wheel base as long as a new mustang's, needless to say it's not what you expect. The front end is easy at all speeds and the bike loves to carve the turns. The faster you go, the smoother everything gets, and the handling is nice and responsive. I thought to myself while I was building this that this would be one of a few really long bikes that I build, but after throwing a leg over and getting some miles on it, the doors are wide open for the super stretched bikes.

The picture above is of my very first bike ('72 CB750 dropped seat, 4 up, and raked to 42* now owned by my buddy Carl) and my new land cruiser. I still get weirded out seeing (and owning) a long bike with a center stand, but other than they way it looks, I love it.
