Better kind of Lower

Alright for all who know, I lowered the '59 from its original altitude in January '09. I used a variation of old school ingenuity and some newer dropped components. To sum it up it was junk! It rode worse, handled just as poorly and I could not see myself and a friend racing it to Brooklyn New York for the Rumbers CC show this summer.

So I stepped up and layed out some cold hard cash for a Mustang II weld in suspension system. So far I have about 160 after hours in the transformation and am very pleased. Oh yeah, I could have gotten some knock off "off shore" suspension stuff but I elected to buy American Made! It did cost me about $450 more to "practice what I preach" but at least I know that a tax paying AMERICAN citizen welded my parts.

Daytona Bike Week with Commentary by John Dodson

I set out to Daytona, Florida with the Gangster Rig loaded with the likes of Johnny A. List. We did it all, drove at night with sunglasses on, picked up road side hookers, drinked a Gallon of Wild Irish Rose, ran out of gas, had a flat, smoked a carton of Reds, got lost but...we made it thru Bike Week 2009!
All of what was cool about bike week seems to be missing. I don't think its anything I can do about it either. Grown men 'ought to know its not cool to do bike week on a Dresser, but there I was staring into rows of Street Glides cruising around. What a waste. This is not even funny, its sad, most of these guys trailered the Dressers there! I don't blame a dude for trailering a Sportster or a wild Chopper but come on, a Dresser?
Its gets worst. I used to see hundreds of chicks riding bikes, Sportsters, Fat Boys and other odd ones. This year, there was hardly any lady riders. As a matter of fact I noticed that the entire "chick" content was down. So basically to sum up Bike Week '09 is this: Faggots riding Dressers that they Trailered to Florida.
