hey ghost - 42knots - 108ft - i like it

I think it's going to require a lifetime of beach booty to buy one of those.
 
And I tell the wife our boats will spend more time at the dock this summer with the gas prices being high :yikes: and my biggest is 90' shorter than that :cry:
 
...the paint job I had a guy do on my $500 yard sale motorcycle you may remember from last October.

I just got all the parts back today from the fellow that painted them for me. I did the work on the rest of the bike and bought the paint. He did all the work on the fenders, tank, and side covers and sprayed them out with two coats of primer, three coats of base, and 4 coats of clear. The cost: a nice 14K gold with citrine ring for his wife and that silver "True Love Waits" ring for his daughter. Funny, because there were a number of much more valuable rings they could have chosen, including diamond rings...I let him take like 40+ rings home and that was what they liked. And I tossed him $100 too (which came from my clad pile, PENNIES INCLUDED!) for his efforts. I had to take the afternoon off today to get the parts back on the bike, which I'm about to do now. :)

It's a Honda Shadow VLX 600. It actually looks and feels bigger though. I have a 28 mile ride to work and I have ridden it there several times and it crusies nicely at 75 sustained, though the speed limit on my route tops out at 60 anyway. It easily buries the 85 MPH speedo. I used to have a Kawasaki GPz 1100 and a few other bikes a little smaller, all "crotch rocket" 4 cylinders. This is my first V-Twin cruiser and I like it pretty fine. No need for 3 second 0 to 60 sprints on two wheels for me these days. :)

It gets 52 miles to the gallon...gotta love that!
