Hey, I kicked off a discussion about the holidays, or lack there of. Sin Wu liked to say, “We’re too broke for the holidays.” And we often didn’t have a tree. Since some of the girls are missing in action, Ray C. Wheeler, the esteemed Bikernet Performance Editor in Chief, volunteered to handle outdoor decorations,

Hey, I was going to piss and moan about the holidays getting in the way of building motorcycles and making progress. We need some more Progressive travel limiters for our new 430 13-inch shocks.
