So, Yeah.

A few people have recently commented on my lack of picture updates. Rest assured I am still taking at least one picture every day, but most of these pics are very boring and not anything I would really want to look at, much less show anyone and explain the story behind. Now that the weather is warming up, I plan to get out and take more pics around the metro Detroit area....assuming I get my motorcycle back together soon and that's it's running when I do. Speaking of, here is a pic of what I took off my bike the other day.

This is what my exhaust currently looks like, laying next to my bike instead of on it. This all started because I need to jack up my bike and change my front tire. The exhaust is aftermarket, and gets in the way of the center stand and my motorcycle jack....so it needed to come off. Now I am thinking of replacing it with a new Vance and Hines exhaust, and looking to do even more maintenance on the bike since it's already out of commission. A tune up and general preventive maintenance seems appropriate now but the more I do, the more I want to do. I am afraid I am going to go from having a bike in working order to a bunch of parts strewn about that could resemble a bike once put back together.

Thank the motorcycle gods for my Clymer manual.
