A few days before heading down to Daytona for Biketoberfest 2022 I called the timeshare to check on things and they had to cancel our reservation due to storm damage from Hurricane Ian. Everyone was OK but there was some damage to…
I installed a set of inexpensive floorboard LED accent lights in my 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL. Alright I’ll admit this is a bit silly and provides no practical value at all, but… I think they look pretty cool and the light kit…
I know, I know it has been a good long while… sue me. Been a busy almost year with work and grandkids and riding and just stuff. I’ll try to do better, but I ain’t making any promises. I have had the…
I did a video on the YouTube channel a long time back but for some reason this post has been setting in my drafts folder… dummy. I picked up a set of HogWorkz lower fairings for the Street Glide a while ago….
