Harley Moment

While riding with a group this past weekend we stopped for a break.
Mr. New Harley was complaining about the black powder coat between the fins on the jugs coming off.
Mr. Notso New Harley said the same happened to his.
They agreed that it happens to all bikes.
They examined mine.
5 years old and still looks like new.
I smiled.

Scruffies brighten your fins and consequently brighten your day as well!

Make sure you show him how good it looks in another five years from now, my bike is going on nine years old and the fins still look good.

I can't ride'm side saddle, cuts off the blood supply, makes for a weak moment. And I don't like falling over.
Besides, they say if you can't keep one happy, what makes you think you can keep two happy... ;)
