Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, Its a strange year and there are a lot of us out there that are going to miss the company of family, We are still going to make the best of as we can. We can only hope that this will be gone next year and we can all be together and it be that much more special. Orlin and Sharon

Saturday my wife and I packed up the RSV and loaded the trailer with fishing gear, then headed South from the Orlando area via US 441. Weather was rainy until we got about halfway around Lake Okeechobee. Once we got on US 27 the sun came out for the rest of our ride to Key Largo. The next day we just hung out and fished behind the hotel with some not so shrimpy live shrimp for bait. Caught nothing, I suspect because the bait was bigger than the fish. 😒 But my wife did make a new friend. 🤣 After a "hard" day fishing, we went out to the Islamorada Fish Company for dinner and caught the sunset. The next day was a ride to Key West, the Shipwreck Museum, lunch, the Aquarium and the Southernmost Point before heading back to the hotel in Key Largo. Weather was nice, if a bit windy crossing the bridges on a bike. Tuesday we packed up and headed home via a quicker route: The Turnpike and I-95. This was the first trip we had taken with the trailer that we bought off Craigslist earlier this year. I was very impressed with the way the RSV handled two-up, loaded down and pulling a trailer. Even at 80 mph the only way I could tell I was towing a trailer was by looking in the mirror. The bike didn't handle any different whatsoever. All in all it was a nice long weekend getaway.

I picked this up from a charity auction for 610$ and it came with 2 new covers and 6 qts of Bel Ray oil (I never heard of the oil until now). It is a 1986 Suzuki Cavalcade that has been parked since 2015 the PO had medical issues and passed away. I have a notebook of his that had all maintenence that was done and even everytime he put gas in it how many gallons and how much it cost. So far I put a battery in it and I am doing an inspection on it. The starter relay clicks but it doesn't turn over and the clutch system needs to be rebuilt. The air ride has a leak somewhere because the pump wont shut off so I unplugged it for now. I think with some sweat this will be a nice ride because the PO took great care of it until it was parked. It had an oil change and new Conti tires done 200 miles before it was parked but I am still changing all fluids. I will keep updated because I want to ride it to Vogel. I have the windshield they took it off for transport.
