I've just been crowned the king of motorcycle maintenance frugality. 25,xxx miles on original front single disc 2016 Harley Heritage Softail.

Not quite down to the bonding layer.

Looks like it will be another beautiful ride this morning. Going to leave a bit early and take the extra twisty route.

Sold my bike when I moved, trying to forget about 2 wheels for awhile. But damn I miss the wind and feeling of freedom.

I always liked the Honda "ACE" series. Chrome laced wheels are a nice touch.

She rides like a dream. Not a speed demon by any stretch, but gets up and goes when you need to. Not to heavy, but I never got blown around by trucks. Added that windshield after I all but got unseated by a bird.

I miss riding, but gravity always seems to win, and I dont bounce anymore.

The lower front fork tubes on this ten year old bike are starting to lose the clear coat and so I decided to strip and polish them. Well, after a complete fork rebuild.

Here's the initial results - stripped, sanded and Mother's aluminum polish on a foam drill pad. I didn't want them too shiny and so only sanded to #1000 grit. Will finish up with White Diamonds polish.
