Thanks Jayel! That was great... Here's one for ya:

The Biker's weave...

Well, personally, I weave at everyone.
I see another bike coming at me in the other late, I weave at it. I
see
a car, I weave at it. Occassionally, I am so sober that I'll be scared
to weave at a semi-truck, but usually I'm either drunk or stoned
enough
that I don't care, so I weave at them too.
I admit, when I first heard that it was a tradition for motorcyclists
to
weave at each other, I thought it was kind of nuts. I was a new rider
and weaving at all was kind of a challenge. But I wanted to be a good
biker, so I did it. Sure, I laid the bike down a few times at first,
but
I got the hang of it. Then, after doing it successfully a few times
and
seeing the looks on the other riders faces -- well you can tell they
are
impressed and it really is a blast! At first, they sometimes look like
they aren't going to weave too, but don't go thinking they're being
unfriendly. I've learned that what they are really doing is seeing how
good you are at this weaving thing. If they don't weave, you show them
you know what you're doing and keep weaving right at them. If you do
it
right, they will always weave too, sometimes right at the last second
After I found out how much fun it was, I couldn't resist spreading the
practice to cars, trucks, bicycles and even pedestrians. People love
it!
They beep their horns, they yell, they give you all kinds of waves.
Sometimes they even turn around and follow you for awhile, which is
when
you show 'em what you've got and lose 'em. Then turn off on a side
street and wait for 'em. When they catch up, pull out and weave at 'em
again. They'll beep and wave with just as much excitement as they did
the first time!
Obviously, it's a matter of personal preference. But I highly
recommend
weaving at least at other bikes, if not at everyone you see. I promise
if you do this you'll meet new people and be the talk of your
neighborhood in no time.
Just letting you know how it works for me,

I weaved around a *%$#*@ #**% lady who pulled out in front of me today, does that count? personally I think all riders should be requried to carry at the least a .357 a round thru the radiator would let people know bonehead behaviour is not apprecatied, maybe the rocket launchers off the Bond bike?

A fistfull of odd nuts and bolts dropped in front of them does wonders.

Reminds me of one of my favorite stickers I've seen "Everybody else's bike sucks!!"

When you put all that time and work into a bike its pretty easy to feel that way. Although I always like giving the wave, Ive even given it to 15 year olds on Mopeds. I guess 'cause I was one many years ago.

Been Biking now well over 50 years, had a bunch from Whizzers to Beemers and Hondas to Harleys. Most any day on almost any good bike is a great one and it's always good to see others living it up too. Ain't really more than a whit of difference tween any of us rollin free with a face full of wind. Don't take many miles nor more than a few bikes to learn that the bike don't make the man.

Parts for my clutch arrived this morning....will be about two days behind you Gordon. Best, Rex

getting back to the side cover...
I recently painted the lettering red instead of black. gives it a kinda classic look.
A used derby cover from a sportster will cover it, too. Just have to find a way to attach it.
As far as JB Weld is concerned, great stuff! I patched a leaky gas tank with it and it worked like a charm!
