FUTS- Fucked Up The Stinkhole

So I guess some of you have noticed that the FOTS shop has been down and having problems since sometime last week. I finally got to the bottom of it tonight after trying for days to shake an answer out of the nit wits that host the thing. It seems that there is an "internal error on the server that was unforeseeable". Translation: we fucked up. Just wish they would have the sack to fuckin say that, just once. I would be a lot cooler and show more respect if they did. The solution: the site is moving to a newer faster server in the next 24-72 hours. That's a hell of a window, you're doing a bang up job fellas. So hold tight and things will be back to normal before you know it and you can get your chopper dope fix once again.

I felt like I was in the Deer Hunter as I was on hold...............

Thanks for the support. I love you all.

Moon Man & Chicken Foot

Clarke: Hey Moon, what's up with the chicken foot hanging from your handlebars?

Moon: It's my new speedo.

Clarke: Huh?

Moon: I've gotten too many speeding tickets from the cops around here because my speedo is broken and I ride faster than I realize.

Clarke: Ok, but what's up with the fuckin chicken foot?

Moon: Well when I feel the chicken foot scratching my arm from the wind, I know I'm doing about 45 mph... like I said, it's my new speedo. Haven't gotten a ticket since I installed it.

Clarke: Fair enough.

Thanks

OH SO SPECIAL '79 AKA... FOOLS GOLD!

Well, Me and Chopper Mike Mcellwee took a little trip this weekend and headed out to Oakland. That's right Oakland .....New Jersey, sorry for the let down.  I wish I could tell you a story about Me and Mike  diving around the countryside and spotted this beauty peeking out behind an old washer and dryer, But I regress. I found it the old fashioned way.  EBAY!  With a buy it now option! I could not resist ,overwhelmed with desire and wonder lust, one single click of my mouse and I had become the new owner of a completely chromed out 1979 FXR.  Upon arrival in Oakland we were greeted buy "Buy it now" Glenn and his buddy 5Q, Don't ask because I sure didn't. Two old bikers from the hills of Oakland, crazy right? He promised me a running bike, which did fire momentarily until the primary belt decided to take another direction.  The story I got was a former show bike called "FOOL'S GOLD"  I can't for the life of me figure out where that name came from, There isn't any gold on the thing. Again, don't ask I didn't. Then it sat for several years until Glenn's possession.  I was still in love, paid "Buy it now"Glenn and drug her home. The frame and front end are completely chrome plated as is the entire transmission. As for the engine, it appears to be stroked out and full of S&S goodies. Maybe that's where the GOLD is or I'm the FOOL for buying it. I'm going to take the ugly out of her and have it ready to tear up the streets of Philly this summer.
