Geetysburg bike week

I am horrible blogger...

I was surronded buy beatuiful bikes all day long and I didn't take a single damn picture.

Failtown, population me.

I did however get rid of my gay-assed mirrors and hard bags today!!!!

We were looking around and Alyssa found a set of leather bags for a good price so after thinking about it for a while I went and got my bike and drove it through the crowd so we could see them on the bike. They looked awesome so we bought them. Wouldn't you know it, Half way through the removal of my old POS hard bags that I hated the look of the clouds oppen up and it starts raining like mad.

Well, the rain eventually stopped and I moved the bike back to the parking lot.

I was feeling kinda ready to go so we did another quick jaut around the merchant area. I had been looking for new mirrors oto replace the one the previous owner had etched some gay-assed flowers into. We picked a set out as we were leaving.

The ride home was alittle more wet than I really like but uneventful and I figure It's Mirror installation time. The left one goes on like a champ but the right one would not thread for ANYTHING!!!! Mother FUCKER!!! Granted I am a mechanical idiot but WTF!!!

After about an hour I decided that the thread must be fucked up and went on a search for a 10mm x 1.25 tap. Lowes, nope. Home depot, fuck no. they had 50% less than lowes. Sears YES!!! $40 broker I head home, retapped and installed the mirrors seen above.

Seriously, I would LOVE to have 1 mechanical thing go easily.

But anyway, I had a nice day with my wife (when I wasn't being grumpy, sorry baby.) got new bag and mirrors and had a decent ride. I'm going to go ahead and chalk this one up as a win!
