  1. I hear you man, I was diagnosed about 6 months ago and I think my numbers are doing pretty good . But, it's a struggle taking the pills when I'm supposed too and every once in a while I'lll catch a high blood sugar number. my last A1C went from 11.7 to 7.0 . Keep in there.
  2. What can I say I can't believe YALL's trip is over so soon. But every time I :mo money:I'll be thinking of YALL and the time we got to :7_6_3[1]: together in North Georgia because of your special souvenir from down under that I won at the Vogel raffle. The Australian wallet, pen set, necklace and ear ring set. I must admit that I haven't found the exact right outfit to wear the necklace and ear rings with.......Yet. But, my son thinks they might go with his pink riding B*t*h t-shirt that Annie suggested he wear. He will always remember you for that suggestion. I help you enjoyed your trip half as much as we enjoyed meeting, spending time and riding with YALL. Safe Journeys, Health and happiness
  3. The following link is the official Web site for the 25,000 mile ride in 25 day ride by Darrell Rall to raise 15 million dollars for the Diabetes research facility at the University of Iowa. www.ironeagle.org
  4. I did that trip in 2008 Atlanta, Ga to Sturgis, South Dakota then back the long way touring 20 states and total trip 6505 miles. It was the best trip/Adventure of my life. I hope your trip turns out to be as wonderful as mine was. Safe Journey. Here are a few pics on how I did it.
  5. Where is the trailer at and where does it need to get to?
  6. Annie and Alan, It was a pleasure meeting YA'LL at Vogel V and a pleasure having lunch with YA'LL at the Dillard House. As the well traveled couple YA'LL are I know that you have seen a lot of the most beautiful parts of our country on your riding adventure this summer. Speaking for myself and my son Clint, we were honored to be able to ride with YA'LL and show YA'LL a little bit of our favorite riding roads in North Georgia and the neck of the woods we call home. We won't forget YA'LL and are pleased to have met YA'LL. YA'LL come back now, Chere:thumbsup2: Safe Journeys Bob & Clint
  7. .I also do my best writing/or posting in the middle of the night when I can't sleep for whatever reasons. Give the Beagle a break he's just doing what comes naturally
  8. No Guts No Glory
  9. Good luck Yammer I hope your stronger than your desires.
  10. I like this. I feel a little sorry for the people that live the biker lifestyle but never have the biker experience.
  11. Earthquake yesterday, Hurricane Irene today, Japanese earthquake and nuclear power plant disaster a few of months ago; Doesn't it kinda sound like the prophesies of the end of days, Biblical, Nostradamus and others. December 21, 2012 ...............15 months 28 days My 58th Birthday December 22, 1955........15 months 29 days Not Fair
  12. Man your crazy but I love ya man. Great to see you and BlackJack at Vogel. I'm glad you made it. Sorry about the loss of your lighter. I know you miss it.
  13. No thank you Lewis, for all the you do and have done to make The Vogel's events to remember and all that you have raised for the kids at St Judes. Eck said it all at the Raffle. What more can we say:thumbsup2: You Da man
  14. Ok, Got the Trailer loaded, cooler loaded, bike gassed up. I made a list and checked it twice and am pretty sure we got everything we are gonna need. The only thing is the HUNTING equipment would not fit in the trailer with all of the camping equipment. So, I guess we'll have to leave it behind. All you innocent bystanders are safe. If Yogi shows back up and I can't handle it with the traveling pistola. I guess we will have to wrestle.
  15. I guess it is possible but I have spent a lot of time focusing on the carbs and am within about 2000 miles of a total work through on the carbs after a Valve shim job. I'm pretty confident on the valve shim adjustment, Carb work through and carb synch. I'm betting TCI I've seen how tempermental they are to many times before.
  16. Name is Bob, But I agree I have an order placed with Dingy for the new TCI Mod.
  17. I agree, I did do that and the problem got a little better but did not completely correct itself meaning that I have more consistant low end accleratrion and the high end accleration starts at a lower rpm (about 4000) But still sputters before it kicks in at 5000rpm. I just want it to run 100% all the time so I'm looking forward to the new programable TCI Dingy is putting together.
  18. Dang, That's where i laid mine down leaving Vogel III due to wet road and sudden break lights ahead of me.
  19. Looks like it's gonna be early Thursday for me and my son Clint. Planning on leaving before daylight to enjoy a sunrise ride to Vogel. See ya there:7_6_3[1]:
  20. This morning on the way out the door for work, I woke me son up who will be going to Vogel with me and told him very clearly " Please dig the CAMPING equipment out the basement to get it ready for this weekend". When I got home he had dug out all of the HUNTING equipment and arranged it neatly in the carport. He had the rifles in the gun case,ammo, all the hunting gear ready to go. I know that I said CAMPING but in his half awake state he heard HUNTING. As I was going to tell him about his mistake, I remembered Vogel III and my encounter with Yogi and BOOBOO and their attack on my poor defenseless cooler. I all could say was, "Good job son now get out the Camping equipment too. We will probably need it too." So we have everything ready to go for Vogel IV and we are coming loaded for BEAR.
  21. I took a road trip to Augusta, Ga. and back this weekend (2 1/2 hrs one way). the bike has been running fine. While there I got rained on for a few minutes. But, on the way back it developed a little accleration ( I hesitate to call it a problem) more like an accleration surprise. While acclerating at cruising speed all of a sudden it would sputter a little bit then launch with a sudden burst of power that would lift the front wheel off the ground and launch the bike forward like it had NOS and someone flipped the switch. .......OMG was my first reaction. Thinking it might be carbureation on the next fill up I bought a can of seafoam and poured 1/2 a can in the tank to see I could clear out whatever partial blockage was in the carbs. Evidently there is some unrealized power potential in this bike I haven't witnessed before and I would like to figure out why and harness it full time. Today, riding to work and back I tried to duplicate the experience everytime I had some accleration room ahead of me so that I could watch what was going on closely. Everytime I was acclerating in any gear and the RPMs reached 4500 to 5000 it would launch up 1000 to 1500 rpm with an incrediable boost of power and seemed to keep going untill I backed off of the throttle. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
  22. Prayers sent from Atlanta, Should be reaching Ponce in Houston right about now.
  23. And My jar of Dukes mayonaise, package of Sugar cured Ham and bottle of Pre-mixed Gin & Tonic.
  24. I'm now thinking I'll just ride up there after work on wednesday. i don't think I want to miss a minute of it.
  25. Ah aint that sweet. The same thing happened with me and my second wife. But, in my case i had a hard time getting her to leave after 13 years. And she is still lurking out there somewhere waiting on her chance to pounce. I'm glad it's different for you. Congrats
