    Nice. I think the original owner on my bike did the "Sawzall Fender Eliminator". I like it.

    And how the hell do you have nothing in your garage? I see no shelves, no tools, no racks on the wall. All you go is a picture of the LI sound?

    One of the previous owners did a real hack job on my '98 rear fender. I like yours a lot better.

    That bike looks so lonely, sad and depressed sitting in that little jail cell.

    I hate the DMV..
    45 minutes just to get to the information desk to get the form..
    Lunch was spent.. So I got nowhere... :mad:
    It's lonely without its cell partner.. the supermoto.. :frown:

    yeah i went to the hamden one today. had to wait 2 hours for a vin check that toke 5 mins to do. most inefficient place ever. and that info line is a joke. if they just put all the forms online all you would have to do is go there and grab a # and wait. even then the whole system could be done online leaving only dmv to check paper work like titles and test and such.

    still have to go back tmrw and actually register.

    I use AAA for registration services. SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!!

    I got there at 5:25 (they close at 5:30) and was done before they had even locked the doors.

    The one on State St? I grew up in Hamden, best friend lived just down the street.....ahhh memories.

    WA's got franchise offices so you don't need to deal with lazy SOBs at DMV......
