tomephil Posted July 2, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2012 So... I'm in a KOA in kopeke NY. It's karaoke night. Hmm. I left Winnipeg last Monday and have had my share of issues and have gained a large respect for the power of this site. Our members are awesome! Thank you Jay and Craig and families! I am on my way to Nova Scotia in 2 days to meet my better half. We are going to ride through the Canadian Maritimes and then to the international Maybe the tail of the dragon after. Depending on the weather. I left Craig this morning, became hypnotized by a winding road! And this is where it dropped me off Hey, I come from the land of right angles. It happens. I now have to push to Halifax. Now it's an Eagles duet at karaoke. Hmmm. That's it for now, I can't keep arguing with my playbook. It's winning....

No more problems I hope Safe ride and Happy trails Yes, I don't want to leave the better half waiting at the airport We'll it hasn't taken any more flips into the ditch. The air shocks have finally gave up and I have try to lower trailer tire pressure as it is starting to act up a bit. I am not in any place long enough to order and swap out the shocks. I should have bought the ones you had in storage. And by the way, thanks for everything. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. See you in NY.

ragtop69gs Posted July 3, 2012 Share #17 Posted July 3, 2012 Tom, Measure the shock length eye to eye and let me know, if the ones I have here will work I'll bring them to NY or you can order up some new ones, have them sent here and we'll install them at the rally. The shocks I have are coil overs from a 1970's Honda 50. I have a feeling they may be too long though if my memory serves me well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomephil Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share #23 Posted July 4, 2012 Well, i made it to halifax. Will meet the better half when she gets off the plane tomorrow. Great day but i have to say that after Pennsylvania, and northern states the ride was not as much fun. You tend to get used to the twisties... I am supposed to have wyfi at the campsite but its not great. I have to sit at the campsite office to get a signal. Later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
