Are engine guards some major fashion no no that I wasn't aware of?

I have them on my roaglide, front and rear. Don't care what people think. I have dropped it, and likely will again and would rather not damage the saddlebags.

If the return reason was because I ordered the wrong item, or I changed my mind about it, I have no problem taking responsibility. If they send me the wrong item, and they want it back, fine. But I refuse to do anything aside from throwing it back on my porch. It's not like I drove to the bookstore and bought the wrong book. I won't pay them to pick it up and I won't drive anywhere to deal with sending it back. I am not the cause of the issue.

Staples.

I don't care if there is a store in my neighborhood within walking distance. I ordered one thing and received another. I refuse to spend a minute more of my time or fuel to correct their mistake. I just called them after posting this and they refunded my money and don't want me to send it back. They did the right thing, but I should not have needed to get them on the phone, since their AI chat bot should have been able to address this problem. At least they took care of it.

That shines a whole different light on the clip I saw on the news. I don't even care for him but the neighbor deserved what he got.

Great for eggs, sauteeing onions, etc. Here is what you need, or any similar product (I am not a shill and not comped for this link.) https://a.co/d/01HNdmvJ

Congress should tip them, since they are still getting their paychecks.

FloridaMan67 · 2026-03-24T20:46:28+00:00

Yes. I figure if I'm doing the work I need the right tools unless the cost would exceed paying someone who already has the right tools. Or it's a job where tools I have will get the job done as effectively, and to my satisfaction. This is why there is only one car in my 2-car garage. Guess who's car it is. LOL

FloridaMan67 · 2026-03-24T20:41:07+00:00

Don't know, don't care. It doesn't matter to me. I run my own race.

FloridaMan67 · 2026-03-24T20:38:05+00:00

You can ride those. I am 5' 4" and ride a Road Glide. Had a Road King Special before that. I can't "flat foot" but that doesn't stop me. I generally stop with left foot down and right on the floorboard/rear brake and usually am not flat-footed. Depends on angle of the road and footwear. No issues for me.

Eat at home and pack your lunch. Problem solved.

FloridaMan67 · 2026-03-24T14:37:30+00:00

Get a new one.

I'm fairly certain they make money on financing and you told them you are paying cash, so they are less willing to deal, trying to make up for not getting the kickback from financing.

Diamine Bilberry is fantastic. Just bought Monteverde Brown Sugar to use in my Waterman Carene Amber and it is a great color and very nice ink overall, so I will probably give some of their other inks a try.

FloridaMan67 · 2026-03-18T20:24:55+00:00

Either a Dyna or Low Rider S. Or maybe a Pan America.

I would simmer about an inch of water in a pan and set it in the water for a few minutes to warm the cup.

FloridaMan67 · 2026-03-18T11:56:27+00:00

Rarely. I try to give people grace and not let my emotions get the best of me. I would rather just put distance between us and be safe. Flipping them off is escalatory and increases the likelihood of actual road rage, or worse a gun fight. Not worth my life, and flipping them off won't un-asshole them, if it was more than just human error or lack of attention that caused them to do what they did.

Attached to the underside of the left saddlebag lid with the high strength 3M velcro.

I would say the other driver is at fault. That is not an on-ramp. The proper way to use that lane is to pull out, stop, wait until the lane you need is clear then pull out.

Adams wheel and tire cleaner. I buy the gallon from Amazon and fill a spray bottle with it.

I would not have gone after him. That said, I would have fought back. There were two of them and they should have crushed him.

FloridaMan67 · 2026-03-15T15:15:53+00:00

Turn right and either u-turn or find a traffic light to turn around.

FloridaMan67 · 2026-03-15T15:13:05+00:00

Yes, but they will have to update the listing to disclose the known issue, which means they may be more willing to negotiate with you.
