With a bike that tall, I'm not ashamed about the girls frame on top.

I ride it around all the time, rode to work on it yesterday, actually. I've fallen a few times, but not as much as you'd think, and so far, the boys haven't taken a hit. I suppose the day may come, however...

peace,
sam

I finally broke down and got a MIG (wire welder actually, no MIG kit on, but can be upgraded later.)

It's a Hobart Handler 125. Also got an Auto - Darkening helmet too. I did some practice welds tonight on some scrap, it's soooo easy!

P.S. the Welder was only $360 & the Auto-Dark Helmet (solar powered!) was $53!!

My dad tried it out too, said it totally beats the pant of his now-deceased Century. Said he could never get a good weld out of it (the Century) because the wire speed was almost impossible to get set right. I just followed the general guesses on the inside of the access panel for heat/speed and layed out a nice bead right off the bat with my Hobart. Good tools can make a difference I guess..........

Hopefully tomorrow I can get the SD welded up and back on the road. It's been nearly a week without her now. I'm going through withdrawal!!!!!!!!
