Butty Buddy My wife and I love our butty buddy. It came with rubber straps which worked great. The only problem is that they both have broken. Is there any way to get something other than the rubber straps. Maybe a set of nylon straps might be better. I will gladly pay for the nylon straps if that's what is needed. I look forward to your response.
Oh. FABULOUS! Love, Love, Love your pics!
I used to work for a company whose funding bank is in Columbia (AgFirst). I have seen "Tunnelvision" (in fact I used to have pics but they were lost in a computer crash). The police station and the fire hydrant have been on my "To-Do" list for several years; but the last time that I rode down south, to Cherokee, I didn't have time to swing into Columbia.
Great post!
Update .... My wife now has close to 500 miles on the seat and is still loving it. The seat is holding up really well. I have also used it as a base for caring items on the bike and it works great ...
Give Butty Buddy a try ... you will like it.

Awesome! Hi Alec, great blog. I'm really looking forward to catching up with the work on the Shadow, looks very impressive. When we get home we'll be sure to include a couple of blogs of us drag racing but I'll make sure it's heavily populated with bikes for you!! All the best Sarah aka Wallaby Wanderers
More Photos ... I wasgoing to take some photos of the finished project ... but improper prepartation kept me from taking more photos ... I need to go to Walmart and get some more AA's for the camara. I will get some on my next blog report!
Turning Wrenches Alec - Nice summary of your weekend. I'd like to see some pics of the finished project. How do you like the new fuel cell? I still think its cool that your working with what you have. I look forward to some great ride reports. I just got back from White Stag. 2600 total miles. 80% of those miles were in the low 30s. We saw 22 degrees yesterday. It didn't get in the 40s until we were back in WA state. At least it was dry and no ice.

Awesome! That looks very good Alec! I finished my tank up this weekend too but had to run in and out in the 20s. No test ride yet but static transfer looked good.
Jim Bain it is .... You have a good eye ... that is Jim! I have been lucky enough to be brought under his watchful eye as he helps develop me into an IBR finisher like himself. Was that enough sucking up!!
Time for some heated gear! Good write-up, Alec. Sounds like it's time for some heated gear. You will be glad you did! Thanks for the review of the Chat 'n Chew. I have seen the sign pointing to Turbeville on I-95 for years, but never had a reason to check it out. Now I do! That looks like Jim Bain in the last pic...
Impedence Matching for your System Lloyd, the reason why you are having so much volume with your headphone pair is that they have low impedance (my first guess) and/or high sensitivity. If you find an inline volume controller this would modify the resistance and lower the volume for you.
Write up Good pictures and a very well written piece. Have ridden in º17 degree weather when I was a lot younger, and still do not remember it as FUN! Hang in there, and enjoy your rides.
Hope indeed Randy,
Glad you enjoyed my BLOG! If you ever get out my way, let me know and we might be able to work out a little ride.
Ride safe and ride far,
Alec

When I started this travel blog I had just purchased a 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit VT750DC. I purchased this bike new in May of 2008, after years of being without a bike, to be a simple run around bike to save gas and have a little fun on. I... full info

Straps
Mine came with nylon straps. You might want to contact the manufacturer. They have been real helpful! Alec
