What made your day a good one

Football.

When it is going badly, it sometimes becomes great for a moment and there is hope after all and something to cheer about.

At least until the next game... :LOL:

My medication, which I have been taking for a long time now, usually takes around a week to be processed when I drop off my repeat prescription. However, when I popped to my local pharmacy for some medicines for my mother this morning, they said that my prescription was ready for me. I only dropped off the repeat prescription three days ago.

THIS has made my day today another REALLY good one.
 
Cleaning the rarely used cases out I found this little lot.

What model is your HD?


Paul

XG750 Street

Now discontinued

One of the few liquid cooled HDs. It's a bit reviver than, say, a Sportster. A bit like a smaller (if 750 is small) V-Rod.

Had it from new, and to be honest it just does everything I need it to so well I can't justify changing it. And, belt drive is so nice instead of looking after chains.

I have a tattoo done from a photo of it..

I've always liked HD motorcycles , especially the vintage ones but I would still ride a modern Harley!

When I got this one it wasn't what I expected to get. I spent the day at a local HD dealer with my brother and they just let us take out whatever bikes we wanted so we could compare them. It was a horrible, wet and cold day. Which was good. It showed what the bikes were like in the real world, rather than an idealic sunny afternoon ride.

I thought I would get a 1200 Sportster (my Mrs later got an 883) and I prefer the look of the Sportster. But this is quicker, stops better, handles better and is better 2 up. I take my son out on the back and we've tested other bikes, but he doesn't find many as comfy.

I think it was dropped as HD riders are a traditional bunch who just didn't take to a liquid cooled bike. It's more like a European bike to rife.

It sounds awesome as the pipe is totally open

Do you have a bike, or bikes?

Unfortunately I don't have any bikes now, my last one was a 1978 Kawasaki Z650, a lovely vintage Jap bikePXL_20230520_120432488~2.jpg

Sunny day, which comes around full-force by about lunchtime but I managed to get several coats onto our new summer house. Yes, the front still looks patchy - I got "blazed off" (rather than rained off). Sides and back are now enjoying four coats and the front is three around the complex bits with the main parts to get two or three more tomorrow. Soffits (urgh) still need a few more coats.
