Have you ever felt too sick to ride? That’s how I feel today. Hubby called saying he was thinking about taking off a couple hours early from work today so we could go for a nice ride through the mountains, but I told him not to worry about it. My allergies are so messed up I can’t even think about getting on the bike right now. I mean I had to go get an antihistamine shot this morning, and the doc has me on so many different allergy pills that I feel like I should be going to drug rehab.

Speaking of doctors, my friend “Doc” had a chance to ride one of the new 250′s, and he sent me a little note about what he thought about it.

I was really happy with it. I wouldn’t trade my 10R for it, mind you. But it was a *really* fun ride. Good, smooth power delivery…and a good bit of it for a 250. Crazy good steering…turns in so quick that you barely even have to think it and it’s done. Really good brakes. I think you’ll love it.

May 16th can’t get here soon enough for me!

Before I go off searching through the forums I have to take a few minutes to search for some Discount Harley Parts for Hubby’s cousin. He purchased a custom Harley Softail a couple months back, and he’s finally ready to add some extras to it. The bike is already pretty sweet looking. It’s a gorgeous copper color that I would love to see on a sports bike. I’ve filed the color away in my custom color ideas for my own bike. Everything else on the bike is completely chrome, so I’m hoping to find some discount chrome HD parts.

I know he’s wanting to replace the chrome upper fork sliders with something a little nicer looking. The ones that came on the bike are pretty ugly. He also wants to add a windshield to help block some of the wind hitting him, and I don’t blame him. On a cold ride having that windshield can make an extremely huge difference. We’re definitely going to find him one of the detachable models that can be removed in a couple minutes tops because I know there are still going to be those really nice warm days when he wants to take it off and feel that wind hitting him. Besides, the chicks might like it better without the windshield, right? lol We’re going to definitely hook him up!

I’m going to make another suggestion for the ladies, add a backrest. When I take a ride on my father in law’s Vstar that backrest makes a huge difference. Any lady friends who want to go for a ride will truly appreciate it.

Right now I’m making a list of stuff that I think he would like, and I’m going to print out photos to go over everything with him. He’s one of those guys who hardly ever touches a computer, so he calls on me when he wants something. He’ll pick it out, then I’ll order it for him. I might not be a huge fan of Harley Davidson since I’m a sports bike girl, but I will seriously hook this thing up! Who knows, one day when I’m older you might see me scooting around on a Harley of my own!

I’m going to try to work on this blog some today.  When I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 something happened with my comments.  It tells me I have 2 comments to approve, yet I can’t approve anything.  Nothing shows in the list.  I checked the spam que, and there’s nothing there either.  When I try to view past comments to edit them, that shows up blank as well.

I thought applying the 2.5.1 patch would fix this, but it hasn’t, so I’m going to spend some time doing some research today on the WordPress forums.  If you can’t leave comments, bare with me.  I’m trying to get this fixed!

Just because us girls aren’t your typical girls who want pink motorcycles and helmets doesn’t mean we’re not still girlie in a way. Yeah we don’t dress up, and we don’t ride around trying to look cute, but we still like to go shopping from time to time. We’re planning a shopping trip to the mall tomorrow, and if the weather holds out we’re going to take the bikes. Gas prices are just so high right now!

I know you’re thinking “How the hell are you going shopping on the bikes? You don’t have room for anything!” We’re definitely taking a tank bag and a back pack, but mostly I think we’re just wanting to get out of the house for window shopping. Lord knows both of us have spent plenty of cash shopping online this week, so it’ll be nice to look around in a brick and mortar for a change.

Nope, I won’t be buying one of those Ladybug steam cleaners I like, but I can still look around! See, the bike really does save me cash after all.
