Guy from way down south in Missouri talkin' about winter?

I change back and forth depending on what "step" I'm on (is that spinning?). Once in a while I do a step out of order and have to restart my shower (OCD?)

The only way that picture gets better is if your buddy was on the back of your wing

" the front of my knees rub against the fairing, and when I put my feet out on the highway pegs, It's so freakin wide it just feels annoying" said BigLenny. I really wanted to fit on and buy a Goldwing in '08, but even sitting on it like this in the showroom got me off it. Same issue with BMW tourer.

My first Yam was a 1999 650 V-Star Classic. Took a couple long trips 2-up on that and decided I just don't fit on it (I'm tall AND fat). Sold it 2008 and bought the Venture I have now.

It took me a long time to find a good receiver that had both HDMI in/out for home theater AND a phono input for my old turntable. Most only do one or the other.

"Another one, and the one that I faced several times today, big trucks trying to pass each other. Today I was driving on I71 between Cincinnati and Kentucky. It was mostly a 4 lane highway once I got past the 71 and 75 split. So two lanes going my direction and a lot of hills. Much of that time was spent behind a big truck who felt that he HAD to pass the big truck in front of him on the long hill. He pulls out to pass in spite of the fact that he is only able to muster a speed of about 1 MPH more than the truck that he is passing. So 10 minutes later he FINALLY manages to pass the other truck and get back into the right hand lane. If you don't have the power to get around the truck in front of you, STAY BEHIND it. Don't be an inconsiderate ass and back up everybody else." While I agree this is irritating, the real problem here is non-uniform engine governance and mileage-based pay. I drove OTR for a couple years, and the pay by mile almost forces this situation. If the passer just stays behind the passed, he loses money.

Here in western WI, we have ramps about a half a mile long and they still can't get up to merging speed. Even worse, when exiting onto the really long ramp, they stomp on their brakes BEFORE the ramp so everyone else on the freeway can slow down with them.

I only wear mine if it's raining or cold. The Boss, when I can get her on back for a ride, prefers to wear her full face, mostly for sun protection and comfort from the wind. I also ride in a t-shirt with tennis shoes. Tried to ride in shorts but the wind tickled too much, so it's long trousers now. I support everyones choice to wear a helmet, but if you try to cram one on my head when I don't want to wear it I'll fight back. I also don't feel any need to justify my choice.

Oil tank under the seat with a dribble tube. HD branded oil only at 3X the cost of "regular" oil.

Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group Inside Looking Out - Grand Funk Railroad Titties And Beer - Frank Zappa Just for a start

And store the tool with the collett loosened and the bit removed (I know..hindsight).

We could hibernate for 6 weeks and still have 6 more weeks of winter after that.

Sailor stole my quote (beat me to it). See why I never post?
