I just posted a reply on another topic in this forum when the idea to post this thread (dream-list) came to mind.

 

I know those of us who have to deal with a "NO-RIDING SEASON" (aka WINTER) are already thinking about how "fast" this summer is going and dreading the advent of cold/snowy weather.

 

So if you're like me, I'm sure you already have a "goodies-to-do" or aka "DREAM-LIST of the things you'd like to do to your bike over the winter months......here's mine.... so far!! HA!!!!

 

MY DREAM-LIST:      

 

21" = 60 Twisted Spoke front wheel with Fat Katz fender (w/lighted Chief light).

 

Lower 2+ Inches

 

Custom-made '60's style "twisted" Sissy Bar

 

Remove taillight and license plate from rear fender and move to side of frame.  Them "mold/French" in a LED Maltese Cross taillight in the bottom of the fender and of course re-paint with Skull Head Indian mural.

 

Install Andrews cam and Dyno tune for max HP.

 

Add handlebar mounted Speedo & Tachometer (for an easier to see retro-look)then eliminate tank mounted gauges and lights......

 

......or possibly replace the stock gas tank with a "custom" ONE PIECE gas tank (of similar size) with the Springfield INDIAN font logo and pinstripping done in "GOLD LEAF".

 

Pretty ambitious list huh??

 

That's what's nice about a dream-list!!!!!

I bought a black and pearl tank set and front and rear blank fenders that will be painted to match the gas tank. Get some descent white wall rubber. So.. this winter my scoot will change from black to black and pearl white!

:no:  I'm putting on a new belt  :no:

 

Does that count ???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On second thought, my "dream" would involve some rich and senile dude rolling up next to me in his $240K Rolls Royce, wanting to race for pink slips...and sexual favors from his twin "Juggy-Girls" daughters.

 

Here's the dream part---my bike starts w/out a hitch, leaves the car in the dust, he has a massive heart-attack...and survives...just long enough to grant-deed to me the $72M compound whilst on his death bed...because I make both of his little girls so happy.

 

 

Ahhh...to dream.   :eyebrow:

2. Custom paint with a sexy Indian maiden on the tank.

3. 6 speed trans. (damn thing needs overdrive past 55)

4. Somebody in the aftermarket business introduces gas caps, and the rest of the IMC aftermarket stuff that is rediculous on ebay.

Then in the spring, new (again) Indian introduces plans for retro Indians.

At my age just being alive by next spring is my dream.

 

Save your money!

The S&S 88 with an S&S 561 cam will eat a PP 92 with a Wood W6 cam alive.

RCH,

 

Station Square is right across the Allegheny River from downtown Pittsburgh. It's a really great place.  One of Pittsburgh's best night spots.

 

And I do mean spotS.  

 

There are plenty of really nice places to eat and shop.  The Station Square Shops are an old railroad station that was converted into an upscale shopping and dining mall.

 

Around the shops there are lots of other things including a really neat "dancing water" fountain outside of the Hard Rock Cafe that puts on theme music/water/light show every twenty minutes throughout the day & night.

 

CHECK IT OUT at:

http://www.stationsquare.com/

 

The Grande Concourse Restaurant in Station Square is probably the nicest place to eat...... plus..... you can take the Incline (which is right across the street) up to Mt. Washington where there are hillside restaurant  that overlook the Three rivers of Pittsburgh, the football & baseball stadiums and a fantastic view of the city of Pittsburgh.:cppl1

 

Up on Mt Washington is a place called Monteray Bay which has the best seafood (and view) in the city.

 

Maybe we can hookup on Sunday night or for a drink?????

 

Not being a cigar smoker..... I do recall there is a cigar shop and/or cigar stand inside the Station Shops at Station Square.

 

E-mail me @:  johnd.pghpa@comcast.net   for more info, questions you may have and I'll send you my phone numbers.

 

John  (PS:  Where are you coming from??)
