Some new saddlebags

Well, I ordered some new saddlebags off the internet a few weeks ago from Biker's Den. They arrived sometime last week and I put them on. They were the type that supposedly throw over the rear fender and remain secure under the rear seat. They were plenty secure, but they didn't fit very nicely and they were wiggling around and scratching my paint. Anyway, I devised a plan so that I could mount them without the need for the flaps that went under the seat and that I hoped would keep them from flopping around so much. I bought some 12" T brackets at Home Depot and modified them for my purposes. I will spare you the details, although I do plan to do a write up on the project here. The saddlebags are now securely mounted and look much better in my opinion. Here are some pics. I will expect some comment Justin Myers!!!!



















Hope everyone's summer is as fun as mine!!!!

A visit from the family!

We have had a wonderful weekend. My Pahrump family came out to visit (and do a wedding). We did a lot in 4 days. I took the day off on Friday and we hung out at home and then went to the wedding rehearsal Friday night. After that, my parents jeep broke down. We were at Home Depot when it happened, but fortunately we were able to start it with a screwdriver on the starter solenoid. We kinda limped it through the weekend and they will get it repaired properly once they get home.

Saturday was the wedding. I gave Caleb a ride to the church on my bike.






I also gave Lauri a ride on Sunday and Dad rode it right before they left on Tuesday morning, but sadly we didn't get any pictures of those rides.

Most of our fun took place on Monday. We went to "Hat leaf falls". We don't know the real name of the place, but that is what we call it. After you look at the pictures, you should know why. (All of these thumbnails have a description that will appear if you hold your mouse over the picture, they also link to the larger picture.)













Lastly, we got a pretty good video which you can watch here. Enjoy!
