The Whistle Goes WOOOOOO!

With spring finally peeking It's head up the days are getting warm enough to ride with a destination in mind.



I decided to head down to Bob's motorcycle shop in Dundee as he's shutting down and will be closed by 4/31 at the latest.

I bought some chrome head bolt covers to hide the rusty hot mess that mine have become and of course ended up buying the wrong ones.  Oh well anyone need a set that are too small for an 03 sportster?

I then checked my map of places I wanted to check out to see what was close.  I saw 2 Toots Grill in Bartlett or Priscilla's Ultimate Express in Hanover Park, IL.  Due to the fact that I had limited time and had to get back for a 3 hour accounting class I decided to hit 2 Toots.

Valentines Candy and Card Run

I had a few spare hours before class this afternoon and I needed to grab some Valentines gifts.  I noticed the sun was out and after finding the thermometer was at a balmy 45F I decided to take the sportster.

A quick run to grab a card and then to the Thornton's in Cary to get some Nutrageous bars for the burgermodel was all I had time for but it was a great day to ride.

I did find my throttle return was loose but I got it all straightened out.

Some pictures of the bike outdoors with all the modifications in place.  Now that you can see the rear you can get a look at the red turn signals and the custom chrome taillight visor.
