New Stuff

So I got a call from dad the other day wondering what the heck is going on with me. He had checked Facebook (waste of time) and here (should be posting) and hadn't seen a thing in awhile, My bad(ish). The new store is running and were just about ready to be brewing beer, coolers, and cider as well as wine. Also, I have a new toy. This, as well as the new store, is what has been taking up my time. Have a gander:





Some repairs are being made, the last of which should be monday morning, after which is vacation time! We'll be heading to Harrison for a night and working on the house, building a wee extension to house the kids.

This bike doesn't yet have a name. Suggestions so far are Valkyr (Masculine Valkyrie), but there's already a bike called the Valkyrie. There doesn't seem to be any real problems with it like the old ones. like Sparky (electrical), Lucy (loose seals), or Spike (threw a piston rod across the highway). So what to christen the new ride? Hmmmmm. The saddle is damaged, so "Rip" has been suggested, and the power lives up to the name being a big engine on a small frame. So Rip? Maybe, but I'm up for suggestions...

Oh, the saddlebags do look good when I haven't stuffed them with junk.
