HotExhaust

Added a new sticker to the bike today. I'm going with the industrial aesthetic.

Also, several weeks ago I had a misadventure at the gas pump...

I parked at the pump with my exhaust away from the pump. A mom with two kids was heading back to her car as I was heading in to the store. The toddler, probably 4-5 years gave me a heart attack as he ran around their car and the pump to my bright shiny motorcycle. Somehow he managed to start climbing the bike without burning himself before his mom could get to him.

Watch out for the children.

He was wearing shorts and promptly leaned his leg against the exhaust pipe. He still has the scar two years later. Now I'm always careful to watch people who aren't familiar with motorcycles.

As I was walking in, I held the door for a family with an unleashed toddler (hand or otherwise) ... that's when I realized I'm not taking that spot anymore.

I came out of a grocery store once,... and a Mexican woman was putting her children up on my bike like it was a sidewalk coin ride... (no it wasn't parked on the sidewalk)...
3 kids!... they got sticky handprints and footprints all over the seat and tank...
I was too dumbfounded to say anything... so, I just watched for minute from a distance...

Oh yeah, grab some grease off the bottom of your bike... if you can find any and leave a couple of paw prints on the hood.

In 1956 a 4 year old boy grabbed the blue section of the exhaust pipe on my Triumph Thunderbird and he is still scarred.

In 1960 a lot of the girls in Lancaster County Pennsylvania had burn marks on their calves from leaning against my new Sportster. I would have loved to hear them explaining the burn mark to their mothers.

A certain amount of people have to get burned to know something is hot.
