Lost Weekend

What with all the rain, which we needed badly and the cold weather.. the
"green one" was covered all weekend and I didn't get too far from the fire..
Stayed real close to the pc this weekend, mostly "politikkin".. Even though
it is damned cold this morning, the day is spectacular.. I'm doin' it.. Got
the "thermals" on and sliding the leathers on so I am gonna brave the temps
and enjoy the highway .. Been trying to warm that cold blooded V-twin for
the past little while and it is running rough.. Been parked too long, I
imagine.. (or just cold) A couple of my neighbors left a little earlier,
couldn't imagine where the hell they are going.. Damned ol' Harley's make
too freakin' much noise anyway.. Thought I might try and visit both VA
hospitals in the metroplex today and see how my friends there are fairing,
these days.. Damned ol' trailer, anyway.. My sidestand is still crooked,
from hauling my motorcycle.. Since the prices at the dealers is so high,
maybe I will be looking at aftermarket to replace it.. Anyone got any ideas
on this one ?

Yeah, go and buy you a "surfer's foot" gas pedal from a car store (not
the cheap one's that flake apart) and have a good welder replace your
stem and foot with the surfer's foot and then have those chromed.
Everytime you put your sidestand down, people will gather and discuss
how cool your bike is. All you need to work this is the top part where
it bolts to the bike. The welder can even put the hook for the spring
on there.

Before anyone says how dumb this idea is, be sure to check back in a
year or two at the big hang-outs. You might possibly see this idea
popping up on bikes all around. The sidestand is probably the most
over looked and over abused area of any bike.
