Indian Drifer Build Update

I want to send out a big thank you to Michael for the awesome paint job that he delivered on my Indian Drifter Motorcycle Gas Tank.  The Rockin Red Pearl looks so sweet under the bright sun light folks.  I was impressed and could not be any happier with the outcome of this professional paint job.

My Scooter is coming along pretty good if I say so myself.  I finally had a little help from my friends and we were able to pull the rear brake mount for paint and measure/drill the Eagle Fender Ornament holes on the Fender.  We took our time and we measured the Fender 9 times from Sunday.  The mounting holes were drilled and my pretty Eagle bolted right up.  Hooking the light up is another story for my next posting update.  Thank you Lord for a Blessed Day!

 

Sunday's bike goals are to install my Progressive Heavy Duty Shocks and replace the wheel bearings and seals on the front & rear wheels.  I'm getting closer and closer readers to sharing the open road with you.  I have been booking certain Poker Runs & Fund Raisers this Summer for Children.  Everyone loves to read a good story when it come to helping Children.  It warms my Heart!

Winter Project ~ Indian Drifter

After almost 10 years of not riding my Harley Davidson Fatboy, I found myself missing the open road and those loud pipes busting down the Florida Coastline heading towards the Florida Keys.  I made a promise to myself that one day I would get another motorcycle and fill that gut wrenching void that comes from inside from my sick Motorcycle Heart.

 

Well, this time around I did not have the large amount of cash to buy a Harley Davidson Road King Classic, which would have been my first choice.  I completed an extensive 6 month search and I was very patient on my selections.  I really dug the Indian Chief Motorcycle but prices were too high and the quality was not that great according to all the motorcycle reviews.   

 

I played the ebay game on several nice motorcycles but was either out-bid on or the price went beyond my budget.  Then I ran across the Indian Drifter VN1500 on COPART and it caught my eye from the very start of my search.  This bike was big, long, low, and had a 1500 v-twin water cooled motor with a drive shaft.  I feel in LOVE!  This motor sounds awesome with Vance & Hines Long Shots, (no baffles) and a Supercharger.  I cant wait till my build is complete. 

 

 

 

 

I decided to paint this lady Rockin Red Pearl with Black trim and White pin stripping.  I tore her down to the frame and started operating on her.  lol.  She has all new everything.  I'm waiting on the gas tank to come back from the painter so I can finish my tune up and hopefully install a Supercharger.  Then we start her up!  I even want to install a MP3 Player Sound System. 

 

Here is a Picture of the same Motorcycle painted the same color as I'm painting my bike.  I'm feeling Blessed.  Details to follow, Deadline on my build is May 20th, 2014.  Wish me luck and RIDE SAFE ALL!

    

 

 



   

HAD A BAD DAY

Have you ever had one of those days that everything you try to accomplish go’s wrong in one way or another? The funky kind of day where everything you pick up, falls from your finger tips? Well, that was the kind of day I had Tuesday.

The big ending of this horrible day was re-visiting the fact my x-wife was seeing someone and involved in a relationship. Somewhere down the line, I spaced it, forgot about it or just push it out of my mind. But when I read it, it hit me hard. I don’t know why it gut shot me so hard! We have been separated since April, 2009 and divorced over a year.

We have been emailing one another the past few weeks. We were being civil, talking about being friends and going to the movies and hanging out for the first time since she walked out. We spent several hours catching up on the phone. I read more into it than I should have.

The only good news out of that tragic day is that I worked on my song that I have been working on for the past four years. I have a finish now. Once I took my evening medication, I was in the mood for some Blues and I finished it.

It’s time for me to move on and move forward. I need to settle several Insurance matters and help Mrs. Prichard sell her home. Then, I’m off to the WEST COAST. Maybe I’ll find me a girlfriend sooner than later, lol.

2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - Obama or Romney

Its that time of year again readers, the 2012 Elections are here and won't go away fast enough!  I have heard so much National and Local Negative Campaign Advertising, that it has made me sick and fed up with our whole corrupt Political Platform. 

All the money that has been spent to date on all the National and Local Negative Campaigning Advertising would really blow the mind of any sane person that knows anything about Politics.  Why is America the only modern day Country that allows this?  I'll tell you why!  The percentage our Policy makers in Congress and the House of Representatives are corrupt and most of the others have made a career out of enjoying the perks in Washington as a Senator or Congressmen.

There's only one way to solve this problem, "TERM LIMITS".  The President of the United States is limited to serve a maximum of "EIGHT YEARS" in office.  Why are Congressmen and Senators allowed to maintain a Career and serve THIRTY or more years in office?  This must be changed so that each generation are allowed to Govern itself with a Representative that is in touch with the majority of its people that they represent.  

EIGHT YEAR TERM LIMIT on all LOCAL, FEDERAL & STATE Offices must be implemented and enforced by Federal Law.  What does it take to get these important National Issues on the NATIONAL ELECTION BALLET?  The People (Citizens) of this great Country should be voting on National Issues that effect themselves as the PEOPLE verses one single person (REPRESENTIVE) casting a vote.  This is AMERICA!  Land of the FREE.  Often times these career elected officials don't even attend the hearings on issues much less vote on them for their district  or the PEOPLE they represent who are requesting the change. 

Time for a America to make a CHANGE and shake up Washington and rid itself of some old school habits.  Why are Supreme Court Judges allowed to serve the bench for LIFE?  They either die of old age or retire at the age of 95.  Come on, lets get real folks.  There must be  "TERM LIMITS" for SUPREAM COURT JUSTICES.  Something solid but realistic.

Now that I got all that Political Crap out of my system, I'm endorsing GARY JOHNSON for President.  Help me help him get to 5% of the VOTE and SHAKE UP the TWO Party System.  I like what he has to say and his plan of getting our great Nation out of debt, create jobs and riding Washington of some really bad habits.  If you are UNDECIDED and truly want a CHANGE, please check out GARY JOHNSON @  http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/  for President.  It don't hurt to LOOK!   

Readers, make sure you get out early tomorrow and cast your VOTE.  Your VOTE Counts!
