That great big ol Canadian Hero who popped that filthy terrorist shoulda swung his weapon over between "Hargroves" eyes and said something like,,,, "dont let the calmness fool ya chump - its main purpose is to help us Canadians CALMLY sort out the good guys from the bad guys.. Lowlife terrorist who are trying to stir up fear and chaos in our people can be kinda tricky to spot - sometimes they even come dressed as a News Reporter"....

In the spirit of encouragement, to let you know we will be there when you choose to get that next bike and in an attempt to help soothe your pain Mr. Shuttlebug, I offer these great memories!!

Wiz!! The ONLY way this story could be better is if that gorgeous scoot were myllennium :rotf: No idea whether that chrome is stock but it looks great on there! LOVE your custom plate too!! Well done Mr. Wizard - well done..

Not sure if I am talking to Shuttlebug or MISTER SHUTTLEBUG here,, doesnt matter I guess - response is the same.. Tippy's going wow wow,,, oh my goodness WOW and ol Pucs going OW,, TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON DORK - YA ALMOST KILLED MY FRIEND,, OW:(.. Good grief,, THAT is terrible news!! Our thoughts, THANKFULNESS (that you guys are ok) and prayers are on their way!! Sorry to hear about that gorgeous bike but soooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad you were not hurt any worse than you are Mr. Shuttlebug!! Heal fast and best wishes in locating the next one!! Tip n Puc

Indeed UT,, that helps a lot!! IMHO,, the PCH heading north out of Frisco is the way I would go.. Once ya get beyond Bodega Bay heading North, the traffic seems to cut way back, much more relaxed and the views are WOW.. You could ride the PCH up to the Oregon Border, you will get to see the Red Woods National Park (when up there take time to check out the old WW2 Surveilance spots - fake "farm" houses - gotta ride just a little gravel but WELL worth the site), drop back to Stewarts Point on the PCH, get on Skaggs Creek Rd. over to 101, pick your way back to 80 across Napa Valley.. I think it was Calistago that had geysers named Old Faithful, Napa Valley is FULL of really cool small town spots that are throw backs from the 60's (a REAL step back in time),, PLUS - after riding the RWNP and than riding Skagg Creek Rd, I bet you will second my motion that the Skaggs Creek Rd. ride should be a National Park in and of itself - its that awesome!! Ya know,, thinking about it here,,, we are tent campers and also found many more "off the radar" camping spots north of Bodega Bay... We spent a night right off the parking lot at the Stewarts Point Store one time, no problem - much harder to pull off from Bodega and south.. On the other hand,, it seems like we passed a LOT more motel stuff along the PCH from Bodega headed south... Maybe I am way off with that comment and one of our more knowledgeable PCH West Coast members will correct me,,, if so - LISTEN to em cause I really know very little about biking and moteling....

GREAT FIND BOB - that is one gorgeous motorcycle:cool10:!! That there is the kinda scoot that could turn a commute to work into a 2 month cross country adventure real easily:stirthepot:

Gonna go buy an old panhead,, doo dah, doo dah.. Hope it goes cheap cause choppers are dead.. ohhh dee doo dayyy At least gotta see what the old girl is,, doo dah, doo dah,, I love ol Harleys and thats my bizzz,, allll the deee doo day Work on her alll night,,,, for a short ride the next day,,, still bettin my money on that old chop,, she's got soul I say.. http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/mcy/4723209035.html Hey Condor,,, you make it over to that auction in Lodi?? Any idea what that 4 cylinder Indian went for??

Ol Puckster would be:dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool:till the soles wore right off his Spider Man riding boots with that one Lar..

Raised my kids on 50 acres with 5000 acres of state land right out the back door... 5 miles of gravel roads and our driveway began where the roadway ended.. Two tracks, snowmobile trail, single track dirt bike trails, heated with wood, BEST DEER HUNTING IN MICHIGAN, kids had CARS instead of go carts,, they raised Beagles and Rabbits for pets .. Last one moved out (back home now) to go to College, sold the place and moved into this "Resort" area.. Its very nice here BUT,,, Unc,,, gotta say,, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YA - AINT NOTHING LIKE LIVING IN THE WOODS - MISS IT EVERYDAY!!!

Which ever way they decide is best, you can turn around and ride it back and have a completely new experience :cool10: UT,, we got twisted around out there a couple years ago,, found a pathway across from Calistoga Ca to the PCH.. A very narrow (but paved), twisty, off cambered roadway called "Skaggs Creek Road" winds thru the Red Woods and is unbelievable enough that it is one of Tips and my favorite roads in the country.. If you were on the PCH and came to (memory here,,,) a little place called "Stewarts Point",,, this is where Skaggs Creek Road comes in.. You WILL be missing something very very special if you dont at least ride as much of Skaggs as possible (IMHO of course..).

Cleaned shield really well, wrapped in shrink wrap, than wrapped in used foam "carpet padding" (free from carpet installers), shrink wrap again around foam.. Got an empty box from a local bike shop that a windshield had came in,, worked perfect.. Have also shipped the same way minus the "box".. Just made a "windshield sandwich" - covered the exterior of the shrink wrapped carpet pad with two pieces of cardboard and stapled together.. Shrink wrap or duc tape a few wraps around the arch of the shield to minimize its ability to flex and crack.. Worked perfectly..

Salmon run 3 weeks late - only one in freezer, lots of Prayers Up and Blessings Down time between fish!!

Nope,, cant keep up with the stuff I do get Don THANK YOU for posting this up,, excellent reminder for all of us:backinmyday:!! Also pretty cool that whoever put the article together took the time and did the research to find the prettiest, most durable, best handling and fastest touring motorcycle of all times to present the material!!!!

Thats great Fool,, glad to hear the news!! Tell those doctors to quit fooling around now and fix your fall damages. Once it gets below freezing and your adrenal gland starts getting a work out from the joys of covering Michigan with White Wash, finding your heartbeat will be a piece of cake!!!

Dont know about the very wise part (thanks for the compliment though) but do know one thing for sure,,, the pleasure of meeting up with and getting to know you at Raggies Meet n Greet truly goes both ways Habster!! Cant wait for the next time around!!

First thing thru my brain too Dan,,, heyyyy Randy - looks like it came from the factory with a mechanic and an accountant :rotf: GREAT FIND!!!!!! You folks done been blessed Rand!

What a deeply sad thing for those lousy terrorist to have done.. Thoughts and prayers to all of our great neighbors in Canada and to the many many people who's lives the loss of these great people have touched.. RIP Canadian Hero's, THANK YOU for the service to your country and God Speed! Dont throw the baby out with the wash gang,, its hard to get em back once ya do!! Puc

Exactly Motiv,, you are touching on a nerve that I am trying to verbalize.... Gonna go out a little farther on the limb here,,,, the idea that this geezer and his midlife crisis can tarnish OUR "reputation" kinda smacks of what I think is called Collectivism (think thats the word I am looking for) or something... Little chimes inside of me go off when I read articles like this,, call it old fashion or weird or whatever but I still believe in "personal responsibility" - as applied to my actions, my attitudes, what I consume in food and drink, what I think is cool, how I ride, where I ride, what bike I ride and on and on... In the end,, I - me - cowpuc, am responsible for all of those (and more) and, also in the end, my reputation is the result of what I have done with those personal responsibilities... Maybe I am all wet but,,, it seems like oppression, the loss of personal freedoms and the loss of personal identity seem to be the usual result of the final end to what I am talking about with this "Group" reputation thingy.. Ironically, motorcycling,, to me, has ALWAYS represented the epitome of personal freedom and personal identity and within biking there is room for everyone to be cool in their own way...

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Ice and hope they find your Van.. I despise thieves and am sorry for the huge inconvenience they brought into your life - absolutely pathetic....

Sorry to hear about your fall Jeff but REALLY glad to hear they may have found something that has the potential of being even worse than the fall results,,, our thoughts and prayers are with ya thru it all bro!! Want you to know,,, I knew something was coming!! Read the Almanac a while back,, said another hard winter,,, than the local weather man comes on TV13 - says he dont agree with the Almanac - said he see's some funny stuff going on with the "Jeff Stream",, says much easier than last year BUT,, now get this,,, he also said he reserved the right to change his forcast cause the "Jeff Stream" might go back to normal by January.... The thought entered my mind that either your machine or you must not be feeling well.. Want you to know I had my that it was the machine and sorry to hear that in reality it was you... Listen to those Doctors, and have a speedy and full recovery. I promise if you do I will harass you even if you are unable to send any Wisconsin White Wash this year at all,, thats what friends are for!!! Your friend Puc
