For the Irish

Well, first off Happy Saint Patricks Day. And yes, not St. Paddy's Day (or Patty's Day, which is even worse), which although is popular in America, it is in fact not a good way to say it and is rather insulting to our fine Irish friends, especially this year who are celebrating the 100 year anniversary of their independence from England. I visited this amazing land last year and had the time of my life. Not seeing tourist attractions or wasting time on a tour bus, but meeting people, drinking with people, walking with people. Amazing.

Sorry to get off track. Had to be said. Sláinte!

Apologies as well for recent posts and interjecting some whining and moaning about funds and troubles and all that. On one hand, it is my blog and I can cry if I want to... cry if I want to. But the other hand often needs to intervene, and so we can keep it a little more on the up and up bike talk and wrench and grease and , well you get the idea.

So on with the show.

Well, since it's St. Patrick's Day and we should be celebrating, I'll have to crack open a few beers tonight while scurrying around the garage floor. Tonight's objective is the rear set foot pegs, since yesterday involved removing them again once I discovered the tabs from the stock units interfere with mounting the new ones so a little grinder took care of those. (Sorry neighbors for the noise).

But these are the issues when you decide to change up a bike from it's cruiser configuration to something more aggressive, and getting more weight on that front tire and more balance to the ride in general requires mounting front forward controls to the previously used rear passenger pegs.

Feet, get thee behind me!
