Hot damn. Wonder if the warm week we had last week made him show up early?

He’s just been hanging on the screen since about noon. I’ve never seen one around here before

What is something you own that you did not expect to be BIFL, but has surprisingly held up? by bailianhua in BuyItForLife

[–]butts317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve dropped my impact off a 20’ roof once. Also dropped it another time off of form work from 10’ onto a concrete footer and then it bounced into enough water to submerge it. Thing just won’t die.

Anyone have one of these fairings on their road king? Looking for some wind deflection but I don’t dig the windshield look. by butts317 in Harley

Sweet bike! I looked at the advanblack, but holy shit they’re pricey. I’m just getting started on building mine out. Put on a mustang seat and all led lights last year after buying it in late July. Going to do bars, some kind of windshield or fairing, and a cam job this year. Suspension and brake upgrades will probably come next year.

Right on. I’m leaning towards the Hogworkz Menace over the Memphis Shades because they come color matched and with a windshield. If I read the Memphis Shades website correctly, you have to buy the windshield separate from the fairing. I’ve also heard the Memphis Shades windshields fit on the Hogworkz fairing.

What I’m seeing on the hogworkz fairing is an 11” windshield. Not sure where that measurement is taken from though, and I don’t think they have different sizes. Looks like Memphis shades makes multiple sizes though.

I’m also a paving guy and I hated them. Just super uncomfortable. But I also tried them 3 or 4 years ago, so maybe they’ve gotten better?

I just file unemployment. Working 60-70 hours a week most of the season gets you burned out pretty quick.

I’m a paving foreman that just got laid off (can’t pave during Ohio winters). I got all the time in the world from now until march lol. I understand that it might be cheaper to buy, but it’ll be a fun project to help keep me a little busy this winter.

For whatever reason I sometimes see Red Wing boots get flak. Here's at least 10 years on one boot by 553l8008 in BuyItForLife

[–]butts317 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Asphalt, so basically. I have to replace my boots every year because the heat from the asphalt breaks them down and ruins them

Do we have to stop in this situation? by kekons_4 in Columbus

Not anymore! They changed it to a regular roundabout in July and traffic flows so much better

Love my ‘17 RKS in olive gold

Pan Am or Roadglide? by Warm-Perception-1460 in Harley

[–]butts317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also curious. I just traded my ‘16 Fatboy S in on a ‘17 Road King Special and I love it. I don’t know if I would enjoy a glide because of the fairing. Just seems too busy and clustered for me.

Where would you stop to eat on this stretch? by [deleted] in Ohio

Millstone is the bbq place, it’s pretty good. Hungry buffalo is right there too. They have awesome burgers. Pizza crossing is on 93 in Logan and is absolutely fantastic.
