  1. Well everything was going good till I got down to two bars showing on the gas gauge and felt the engine start to sputter. I switch over to reserve and nothing. It died. I stopped along I-77 and luckily a DOT man stopped to help. He called road service and brought me two gallons of gas. When I opened the gas cap it sucked air for what seemed for ever. After that it started, but I still got two gallons of gas I had already signed for. My lucky day. Anyone have problems with vapor locks?
  2. Some days aren't as much fun riding as other days are. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/15/4y2a2ete.jpg
  3. Do you all have pics of how your looks and with what clamp you used?
  4. Same here. A cruise is something I had on my bucket list and since I just retired, I decided to go for it. I even let the wife join me, and the three kids. We all had a blast and I'm sure it won't be our last.
  5. I'm hoping to try a set of RK that I have, but haven't figured out how to get rid of the gap between the clamps and stock exhaust yet.

    Yammer

    I was busy taking pics, so he did pull ahead of me slightly. But it didn't last long.
  8. Sounds great. I ask Earl where he thinks is best for lunch.
  9. We all made it. Just setting here relaxing from our ride here.

  11. And we are just a few hours form pulling out and heading south to smell the salt. I am excited to be with close friends during this ride that I know will have my back. Hope to hit the road by 7 am... I'll keep you posted as I travel...
  12. I just want to say thank you to each and everyone one praying for me. I read these posts daily and really appreciate the time that Yammer, Cowpuc, and others for stopping by to let me know they are still praying. I still got a long ways to go and I keep in the back of my mind that everything can change in one doctor appointment. Right now my blood work and other levels are good. My next CT scan if May 22 and I'll meet with my doctor on May 28 to find out the results. At this point I will have been on this chemo pill for four months, and continuing lots of prayer that the tumor has reduced another 50%. They take a lot of time to keep this thread going actively. I feel there is a lot of power in prayer. so keep it everyone. I love you all and really appreciate your postings.
  13. I did check for a mute button, but didn't think to look for the volume. I'm just glad it was an easy fix, and made the best of it by cleaning under the rear seat.
  14. Thanks Patti, I'll have to keep that one till I grow my own..
  15. Speed is not always important at my age, but I'm going to look good going there.
  16. something my bike sees a lot of.
  17. The past two days I've been cleaning and waxing the bike getting ready for a Myrtle Beach trip. Since I had the time I decided to check out the reason I lost the audio in the rear headset. After removed the seats and back rest I realized the passenger volume control was turned down. LOL Anyway it was a good time to clean under the seats since I had them off.
  18. I got the clamp from the pic, but it leaves a two inch gap of uncovered pipe from the clamp the the heat shield at just behind the "y" pipe. Not the clean look in the pic. Can some one show me their connection using the HD Roadkings?
  19. So there is another short pipe to remove?? And this will eliminate the gap with these clamps? I have the clamps already, Just need to get the rear connection hardware to complete my switch. I am about to go louder...
  20. I have purchased a set of these brackets. By his pic it appears he has cut the stock pipe a little to get the look I see in his photo. Is that correct, or does your look different? I still need to get a set of "p" clamps before mounting the pipes.
  21. There is power in prayer, and it seems to be working. : )
  22. Thanks folks. I was back at the oncologist today and doctor said everything (blood work etc...) looked good. My next appt and CT will be at the end of May.
  23. Sounds good to me especially with prime rib
