    @randy really? Maybe I'm spoiled where I am, I've got a bike performance shop a block away from my house, and 3 others within a 15 mile radius.

    Where I live, there are performance shops for John Deer and Massey Fergusson. Lots of places to buy heavy duty aroma reducers for the smell of cow shit. But just the basic motorcycle shops.

    I guess that's the same challenge as around here. Makes it fun though since it won't end up being a boring ride up the street. Tractor implements and farm and homes as far as the eye can see ugh

    38 miles to one of the only real 'speed shops' in the Valley here, but I'm thinking that I might just have to jump on my little girl and take a trip up there this Sunday to get a pic and keep this thread alive.

    ... unless someone beats me to it...

    It might be more acceptable riding your bike. Some of those speedshop guys are probably parents.

    According to my fiance, my VFR (who was named Maxine by the previous owner) is the other woman in our relationship. I guess it was easier to accept and share rather than be jealous and argue.

    Reading what I wrote above kinda made me laugh because I don't realize that I talk about the bike like it's an actual person unless its pointed out.

    Besides, she's 27 years old now and I think the statutory clause doesn't apply anymore?

    One more year and in Mississippi, you could have two of statutory age. Still, explaining all that to the speedshop guys is up to you.

    I know some harleydoods that name their bikes here. One is Ralph and the other one I think is Earl or Marvin.

    So what are we looking for? Are we still looking for a speed shop or are we looking for something new? Awesome weather in the Texas area so I'm ready to get back in the game.

    I ride every day so was looking for an extra reason to take a scenic route home from work. :) Not many Submarines in the Austin area so I may have to ride out to the hill country for this one.

    We must be careful in defining "Texas Hill Country". Indeed there are maps which indicate the area. Living in Houston for several years, there, Hill Country is anything over 2' above sea level. ;)

    Man, I was just checking in to see what the new challenge was. I didn't think that we'd still be on mine. I'm 0-4. At this point I'll take any of my previous challenges, just to keep this moving along.

    1. Graphitti, bonus if you've got a boom box with you
    2. You and some harleydoods ( it was April fools)
    3.at some train tracks, bonus if there's a train.
    4. At your local speed shop

    I'm all over the train tracks, + bonus train photo when I get out of work. Is there a bonus on the bonus if I park it on Railway Lane?

    Ya may get spotted a few points if you park your bike in the middle of a crossing. Keep in mind that if those gates come down and the red lights start flashing it's time to haul ass.

    Well I wen't all out on this one. Train tracks, train, and some graffiti on one of the old train cars.. The sad part about this is that the Viffer died on the ride home. :faint2: This may be the last living photo I get of her :pout:. I'll be taking her into the shop hopefully this week, I don't have any space to tear it down and hunt for the problem.
