I once bought some stuff from ZEP, I think it was called Liquid Glove.
You rubbed it on your hands before they got dirty, and the grime washed off easily when you were done.
It also protected your skin from nasty stuff like aircraft hydraulic fluid (Skydrol).

Fixin’ Harleys is no different than working on JD tractor. A metric crescent wrench and gas ax is all you need. How come no lines about Hogs and barbecues? Nothing like a pulled pork and a Shiner Bock while reaming the top end.

Spin drift I hope that was a joke because if you were trying to insult those of us who DO work on (and ride) harleys you succeded.I have ridden and worked on my own harleys since 68 and and have never had “gas ax” anywhere near any of them ….haha very funny NOT

Cool down skooter, I think “metric crescent wrench” signaled humor.
Easy boy…as PaulS says it was a joke, and really just quid pro quo if you remember all the Heavy Duty riders ragging on the rice burners back in the day.
And speaking of that, back in the AMF days the standing joke was the drip pan that was standard equipment, and how when one of the Jap manufacturers needed a new pedal or whatever, they had their team design the ergonomics and their metallurgists figure out just the right alloy, etc. While when HD needed one they sent Bubba out back to bend one out of angle iron…with a gas hatchet! 😉
But I’m with you brother, except for the Honda Supersport 550 I burned up I95 around West Palm Beach with in the late 70’s (and was thus the brunt of the ricer jokes from my buds) I’ve ridden Harleys since when I was about ten my daddy brought home the old ServiCar that his tire company used for road service…16 in all. Finest machine on the road these days, a true American success/demise/rebirth story.

Mr Skooter:
I’m sorry if you took offense but you may have worked on them but I was fortunate enough to do engineering on them. A little secret, the best Harley Engineering doesn’t come from Harley Engineers but from firms that supply engineering hired guns. One of my proteges did the Brembo brake integration engineering on a number of late model Hogs. And yes it was a joke. By the way I ride a ST3 ABS with bags and a pizza box.

Anybody else get the feeling that Travis is gonna have a better Hog when Sam gets finished working her magic on it.

LOL!! Yes, I got that definite impression too, that Sam will not only restore it to its pre-Skye condition, but might even make it better than it was before. 🙂

No doubt in my mind that he’ll be riding off in a ‘New and Improved’ machine.. This could be the start of a new friendship, with someone with lots of interesting new associates.

Sigh,those were the days.

Nice people.
Nice redhead working on hogs.

And, second sister on a slow plane to Sapporo. Tourist class. Nice!
Yeah, bummer about no third sister. What a prize she could be! As for women and wrenches, my sister built top fuel motors that won. So, yes. Redbeard is gonna have a fine machine.

The sad thing is, I’m looking at the bike trying to figure out the exact model that IT is……looks like a Fat Boy Lo, but it’s got a bobtail fender with brake/running light and separate blinkers. Could have pulled those off a CrossBones, of course. #HarleyGeek

Yep, he gets Red hot pretty regular.
To Zed’s satisfaction, or some Lib idiot’s extreme dissatisfaction.
Glad to see that everyone (except Skye) is getting along so well.
BTW what’s the timeline on this? Is it still the same day (I.e., SKYE is still in her cell)? Or is it the next day or later (Skye is gone)?
That’s the thing about us Red Heads. Sweet, Spicy and Hot.
Looks like Sam is going to get some grease under her nails. The all natural baby wipes work well cleaning the grime off skin and from under nails.
Seems like Sam’s not the only Red that Zed makes hot…might be a tough fight though, wrenches make good weapons. Ooh; Red on Red cage match!
JK, too much honor all around for that; wouldja settle for a nice Red Beard?
