Eck

Just a heads up here. This was just posted on another site and thought I would share it here for those who it may help. This is REALLY cheap to mount a tire nowadays.. King George Tire in King George VA will mount mc or ct for $10 if you carry in your rim/tire. They will put your beads and valve stems in too. Then I found this link that was found to be interesting.. http://murgie.com/installers.pdf

Wow.. this is crazy fast.. in a small historical town no less.... Some people get what they ask for, some don't and are considered lucky, or stupid..

Yoders, in Sarasota................heck yea... Every time I go to Sarasota I take my mom there. Excellent food and lots of space for everyone. :thumbsup2: The Dutchman is also a fine buffet restaurant. My wife and I stop there every time we go to Sarasota and every time we head back home to Alabama.

You have a beautiful family Barry. Just don't let the GW take time away from them.....

I'm not so certain I would let Mike get around my GW now, without me standing next to it .... Of course this is because of some comments he was making while at B2Mom & Dad's....(all in a joking manor now)... Yep, they were something in line with tearing off all the chinsy Tupperware off my GW so he can get access to stir the insides up and some other Tupperware comments. ....... See, Harleys aren't the only bikes that get ribbed all the time.. That's OK Mike, I'll still let you ride with me....if you can keep up.... All joking aside, Mike does some beautiful craftsmanship and one can tell he puts his heart into what he does. Great Job Mike.!!

Found this interesting, and just thought I would share it. http://darkside.nwff.info/?p=tires

Yea Bob, Been fine yesterday and so far today.. back to normal.. I really think now it was all the Mexican sauce I ate (the sauce you dip the chips in.) I B fine now..........

Well thanks, and I get your point GAWildKat. Your so kind and I thank you for your comments but I think you have this somewhat wrong. See, I was not left out at all. It was ME who decided that I didn't want to go because I truthfully didn't want to go to the restaurant that everyone went to. I wanted Mexican that night, and I surely didn't want to ask people to join me at the Mexican restaurant when there was a pre-planned party at the other restaurant. Now that surely would not have been a cool thing to do. It was not that I didn't want to be social at all either, it's just that I like and wanted Mexican, so I chose to do what Eck wanted to do at that time. No biggie, not left out, just a peaceful evening by myself that's all. You will see that many times I may not do what everyone else does. That doesn't mean I don't want to be social or like where they are going. I knew they would be back at the motel sooner or later, but I wanted to go rest and sleep so I did that too. I guess it is also because I have had to follow so many rules and others all my life being told what I can and cant do and now that I am retired I do what Eck wants to do when I want to do it. SO please by all means, don't take this as if I am mad or being mean. I'm not and that is not my intention at all here. I am basically relaxing and just doing my thing while I'm on my so called vacation in life (retirement). That is all.

Stretching the quantity a little aren't we here now. I surely didn't drink 49 beers. And I could have drank a whole lot more than I really did. I have been known to drink 3 times that though. Beer doesn't effect me like it does most people. I've become almost immune, and I have always known when to stop..(and I have never had this effect from beer before..Lots better today though..) And for the record here please, because I drank those 9 beers on Friday, that is why I did not ride my GW to the restaurant with everyone so that I did not create an unsafe environment for all of you. I wanted everyone to be safe and I knew I had a few to drink so I played it safe for you and myself. I stayed at the motel when everyone left for the restaurant and I just walked next door to the Mexican restaurant for two more beers and a meal.

That or our tax dollars will be used for the city/state to relocate all the signs higher on the poles....

I heard this from the guy who restores just about anything (on TV...forgot his name). This is what he said on TV on how to remove rust on chrome............ DO NOT ball it up where it is all hard as heck, only lightly wadded up aluminum foil, shinny side out... dip it in a pail of plain tap water and then gently rub the aluminum foil on the rust and it will remove the rust from the chrome leaving no scratch marks whatsoever on the chrome.

a little cultural commentary for you...

That's what I was thinking...

WHAT.......PIT STOPS LAST A FEW DAYS?????????? I'm ready to cry now.......I wouldn't make it a few days...I would rather have someone hit me in the shin with a hammer............dang (I have already take the anti-treatment...........)

Hey, I have a question for all of those who ate at the Mexican restaurant next to the Days Inn motel last night and for those who ate breakfast at the Hearth restaurant this morning prior to our departure. Question is: Am I the only one with the stomach (and "back end" ) problems today?????? I left the resturannt in Martin and barely made it to the McDonalds in Dresden fro a needed pit stop.. then I rode about an hour and I had to make another pit stop. I pulled in my garage, and headed to the bathroom for another pit stop and have had two more pit stops since I have been home. Dang, I'm about in tears.. Just wondering if I am the only one.......... Don't know if I got a touch of food poisoning or just some a nasty stomach bug?

Next year auction the box with all the signatures off..........

Very nice!! Clean... (do you clean GW's by any chance?.....)..

Neat...it's always nice meeting up again with the family and friends. Just keep making those great memories for in the end that is the only thing you can take with you ....

Very (VERY) clean looking ride you got there Barry. WOW. It should bring you many happy miles. Oh, hey, by the way, did you ever receive what I sent you? Again, no hurry, just wanted to make sure you received them by now, and my offer still stands for you. If you ever need any help with questions or any "how too's", give me a ring or email me. Eck

I'm wondering if the right turn signal of the car was on, and the bike driver "thought" she was turning in where he was pulling out and he just pulled out in front of her? I see so many close calls from riders doing just that. They pull out in front of a vehicle that has its turn signal on...Please don't..wait...I will always wait for the front wheels of the car to start turning to the right and I look at the driver of the vehicle to ensure they see me before I pull out.

Made it home safe and sound, with about 10 drops of water falling from the sky. I was dry as a bone! Would like to include many thanks to Don & Patty for their hospitality and everything they have done to pull so many people together that strengthens the VR.Org family. Hugs and love sent with best wishes on the sale of your belongings, finding your choice of motorhome, and the many new adventures headed your way. Just a reminder here: Don't forget to pick up one of those extra large black markers, so that when the rolling M&E makes a stop, those in that area can sign the side of your rig........... You two are great!! Eck
