live free but quietly or die what a great day got back home last night from some fantastic skiing in colorado and put the battery back in the fxstc cleaned the plugs opened up the petcock waited a minute hit the starter and bingo it started up like a charm spent a restless night anticipating the first ride du saison and off i went this morning to get my state inspection done now my bike is stock so far except for hd slash cut pipes and all went well with my new hampshire state inspection meaning all my lights worked ok until the dude produces a decibel meter and tells me about the new nh law about mc noise huh sez i and he has me start her up and rev to about rpm i fail cuz i register db and the max allowed is if i fail with these pipes there are gonna be a whole lotta seriously pissed off bikers round here when they go for inspection but hey its a new experience i have never really felt like a menace to society before i parked dismounted and walked in to my building with a slight swagger to my step and a narrow lidded look i sensed my faculty colleagues unease with my new intimidating status and women s glances seemed to linger just a little longer or perhaps that was my imagination sigh now i need to install my new bub pipes and single fire ignition i wonder how i will do after that russ hughes fxstc dod e love yeah that s the feeling you get when you like something as much as your motorcycle sonny barger as told to me by ed campbell who has an old friend who was there at the time
