WOW Len, sounds like you folks had a ball down there!! One of these years we are gonna make it!!! Congrats on a fun, safe journey and THANKS for the great write up,,, hate to sound like a whiny ol geezer but, pictures,, did you happen to take any pictures,,, some of us love pictures Any idea what retail is on that new Dresser Indian?? I too have ridden em a few times (havent ridden the new Dresser though) and was very impressed with what Polaris did with that motor design - really sweet.. I honestly thought that if they would have come out with their pricing a couple thou below comparable bikes in the HD line they would have sold A LOT of bikes.. Even for the first couple years, just to get em out into the real world for testing.. Told one of the reps that at a demo we went to and he kinda laughed and said, "we arent trying to take away riders from HD" ...

FUTURE VENTURERIDERS OF AMERICA!!! GORGEOUS PIC THERE YAMAMAMA!!!!!! JUST FOOD, JUST DRINK, FOOD AND DRINK, ANYTHING WOULD BE PERFECT YOUNG LADY - OL PUCSTER IS A WALKING GARBAGE CAN YA KNOW!!!:rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf: HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND WE WILL SEE YA IN CHAT!!!!!

Yea, I checked last night but it was late,, nobody home.. THAT Fest looks awesome Mama,, have a riot down there,,, bring us back some pics and some leftovers for chat will ya!! Puc

Hmmmm,, let me think on that for a second,,, no chance,, tack on another 29000 and your passed gas might get noticed Get this,, the weekend of the auction is also Tippy's birthday (11th),,,, sitting out front this morning I says to her I says,,, "ya know,, I been thinkin,,, wouldnt it be fun to go see the girls in Sac for your birthday :whistling:",, she gets this funny look on her face,,,,,,, and says "ok,,, whats up" . Shoulda heard the ensuing discussion that took place after that,, something about "reading me like a book"

Aint that the truth! Or, in our case Dale, had a bunch of the Hells Angels behind ya who the dork also cut off, sit back and watch as they turn that new 4x4 upside down in the parking lot and leave.. Then have your camera ready for when the guy walks out of the Store:rotf: Frank, soooo glad you and Barb got thru that ordeal in good shape!! That saying of Venturous Randy's (or whatever the heck his name is now) about riding like your invisible to others can sure come true in an instant.. Like my ol Basket Ball coach used to scream at us - DEFENSE, DEFENSE.. Sounds like you had the same coach and you LISTENED!!

Guess it would totally depend on the deal for me.. Lets say the difference being made up in cash was gonna get me out of debt on the bike and I didnt use it enough to make it worth owning, yep,, I would do it.. Or,, lets say it was gonna make it so I could spend the summer touring the country, going from party to party, sleeping out on the prairie and up in the mountains, coasting down those mountains with my best friend Tippy, riding HWY 1 along the west coast, looking for tidal bores up in Nova Scotia, being broke down and meeting new GREAT friends because of it... Hmmmm,, yea I would do it,,, those 1st Gens are very capable bikes. On the other hand,, if the deal were not that "sweet" and you gotta choose 1 as an everyday rider,,,, there is a HUGE difference between owning a newer bike and one that is 20 years older.. We didnt name our 83 "Tweeks" because I never have to work on it!

Don and family, condolences on the loss of Annie.. That ol saying about a dog being man's best friend is so true and its meaning never speaks closer to the heart than upon their death. RIP Annie and thank you for the devotion, love and companionship that you so unconditionally gave! Puc

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I read thru their list 4 times and still havent found the mundane part your talking about Condor!!!!!!! WOW ZEEEE WOW WOW WOW PARTNER - hmmmmmmmmm,,, suppose the right thing to do is jump on the bike, head to Wilton, visit with the kids, eat an ice cream cone at Leatherby's with you and EasyRider than all of us go to that auction and see if we can find something mundane by actually being there!!!! Brother, THAT is an awesome link! Thanks!! By the way,, I would LOVE to come home with that 4 cylinder Indian,,, and the 25 Harley,, and the Chevelle,, and and and:cool10:

Condor,, riding north out of Sac this summer we couldnt help but notice a HUGE reservore/lake area that was pretty much empty.. It was MASSIVE, some of it was actually dried up and parts of it did have some boats in it still playing around.. It looked like it may have been a couple hundred feet deep!! I am thinking it was still in California,, maybe just before crossing into Oregon.. Seems like it was after that town where Lone Eagle and the gang stayed at the Motel,,, Red Bluff I think.. Any idea the name of that Res and if the rain you are getting will help fill that puppy up some?

IT DONT GET NO BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!

WOW!! GORGEOUS PICS and an AWESOME story - thanks for posting! So,, was that Harley you were working on just someone you stopped to help or was it part of your party? Either way,, GOOD ON YA for lending a hand!! Puc

Glad you folks are FINALLY getting that much needed rain Jack!! Now you and EasyRider can spend more time enjoying that Banana Nut ice cream without the worrys of having your yards spontaneously combust!!!!! that you all get a good start at refilling some reservores!!

Tweeks has an exhaust system that,, well,, is basically a rolling Weld Shop supply of .035 Mig wire and 1/8 inch brazing rod.. The remaining holes and bad gasket in her right side exhaust serve as a warning device for the same folks you wave at Bob.. I spot em, nod to Tippy (her headshake and smirk when I do this is priceless), pull up with the right side exhaust just ahead of the drivers window, back off the throttle and Tweeks says "STOP KILLIN PEOPLE" by laying the prettiest golden egg sonic BOOOOM imaginable! Lots of fun in tunnels, under bridges and for waking Tip up after 16 hours in the saddle too!!

ARRGGGGGG! WHAT A SHAME!!! Brian, that info should be reposted and pinned in every motorcycle website in existence! Made me sick to my stomach to watch!! Stinkin lowlifes

Yeaaaa,,, forget it Jeff,, its probably just condensate from the condenser on that white wash machine... ... Hey,, wait a minute here,,, better idea would be to drill a few holes in that condenser, let the refrigerant out of it,, problem solved!! Glad you found the issue bro! Puc

WHAT A GUY, THAT LARRY OR OURS!!!:dancefool:

BROTHER, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT = ANY EXCUSE!!:cool10: That Dunny was gettin right down there, glad you made it safely out of those GORGEOUS mountains UT!! Congrats on a GREAT adventure,, I am and will be even worse when I see those pics of some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet!!!

PRAYERS UP for the victims family and friends at such a great loss!

:rotf::rotf:

This was about Texting and driving Brake Pad, not eating Pecan Pie and driving :rotf::rotf::rotf: That thread you wrote about going after pie had me DROOLING like a dog!!!

Well,, here is a good example of the kinda job ops in our area http://muskegon.craigslist.org/csr/4681871185.html Muskegon is in pretty rough shape economically, nice area though for biking and snowmobiling if your into those radical things.. FYI, you can search all of Craiglist by using Adhunt'r. Just to test the waters I went there and searched "Automotive Employment" and here is what popped up.. http://www.adhuntr.com/2012/05/all.html?cx=partner-pub-9413604915893153%3Ao8xsd8d7h7s&cof=FORID%3A11&ie=UTF-8&newwindow=1&q=automotive+employment&as_qdr=a&sa=Search#2218 You can go there, change the search and come up with all kinds of opportunities all over the country.. Hope this helps somehow! Puc

:clap2::clap2:

WOW thanks Brian.. If our plans for the weekend change and I end up going for it I will DEFINITELY let you know and post a ride report on here!! Cant think of a better reason to take that ol 42 up to Petoskey Mi and ride the lake shore!! You da man! Puc

Dont know nuttin about em but THAT is gorgeous!! Congrats!!

I aint saying nothing Len,, what happens in chat stays in chat:stirthepot:.. Besides,, the last thing I wanna do to become known as one who picks on people, ESPECIALLY that FlyingFool this late in the season! I will say this though,, I did notice that the chat room activity has really cleaned up, gone are the days of all the guys crowding into the ladies room.. Now I dont know whether or not it was just easier to lure Yama Mama and GaWildKat into the boys room or if it involved some antics by FlyingFool but it was definitely a different environment.. Or, maybe, someone knew the law (Skid) was gonna show up.. Maybe it had something to do with that new guy from Up State New York showing up and Nemo was protecting him.. There were others there too that stayed pretty late.. Now that I think of BigLenny,,, I do recall some discussions between you and that Fool that could be diagnosed as an act of craziness,,, yep,, gotta agree,,, he is crazy BUT,,, you aint far behind:rotf::rotf::rotf:
