thanks guys
hey Iso- remember back a few weeks we were discussing HOG stock? I was recently observing my IRA statement and am quite pleased with this stock's performance and dividends. HOG stock is expected to continue growing at 8% growth and operating at 14% profit.
If you can, add it to your portfolio(I did when it was $46, now it's $73). I doubt you will be disappointed with the way it performs in your long term financial goals.

Sorry for the short message. Happens when I am busy.
I see HOG is a high risk investment like any other stock. I would like to diversify that part of my portfolio into YAMCF || YAMHF but that would mean getting into foreign markets and higher risk.

Actually, IMO, HOG is one of the safer places to keep your money (second to under the mattress  ) with little or no chance of financial turmoil in the future. HOG just recently issued an $800M ABS(asset backed securities)supported by loans. Add a good dividend, good merchandising strategy, and rising disposable income...what's not to like?
Foreign markets actually can lessen your risk if done wisely. For example, Brazil is a great emerging market now that banks are issuing the first rounds of credit cards. A good way to look at this is from a precious metals view (gold, copper, etc). A company worth a second look is Yamana gold (AUY) which is operating its' mines at 0.05 - 0.2% and is currently $13.05/share. This company produces gold from it's mines and the by-product copper is allowing them to operate almost for free! That is worth getting in on for that reason alone.
This stuff drives my wife crazy because she has no luck with stocks, but I seem to do ok and I think it secretly makes her

I forgot to mention in the first post, but this tank has been raised a couple inches from the stock location. Notice in the pic where the front of the tank bolts on there are two bolts.
Got it from J&P Cycle if you want one.

What's the purpose of raising it? Or do you have a before and after picture?

I raised it to allow for better cooling and easier access to clean the heads. Plus it makes it look higher and adds to the overall look.
I don't have a before in digital, so no b/a to compare.
Notice the two bolts at the front of the tank. The top bolt is now 3" higher than where it was. The lower bolt is bolted to a bracket that bolts to the underside of the tank and raises just the front end.
