Well, after a year-and-a-half I have decided the name of my old gal. It came to me when I first saw her and glancing at this emblem, I couldn't figure out why it said, "Gwen". I still see Gwen every time I walk by her and have to actually look to realize that it says xvz12. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Sometimes it's not about burning up the asphalt

But usually it's about burning up the asphalt and tires Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -
This is a little video from a pleasure ride I took last fall that had nothing to do with speed. It was a beautiful day and sometimes you just got to take to the gravel to see how beautiful it is. I have since learned that higher RPM are a major benefit, and that newly rocked roads are challenging to say the least. Some of these rocks were up to an inch and a half as you'll see in places on the video. A little like riding on ball bearings. Anyway it was fun, and something out of the ordinary on here, at least nobody talks about leaving the cement much on these very capable steeds. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I like the volume of the HD pipe but after about four thousand miles I'm not sure I love the tone... Sometimes, well, a lot of the time, when I'm gettin on it, it sounds like the blat of a trumpet. It's very tolerable above 65 MPH. My guys did a great job creating the mid pipes and adding a drop down hanger bar from the saddle bag Bar at the rear. So I could probably put any tailpipe on that I want. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

When I was married, 1 Spring it became time to buy a new lawn mower. My wife wasn't convinced we needed to spend the $70 more for self propelled push mower. I let her push the mower without it and she did one lap from the front of the lot to the back of the lot handed it to me and said, "yep! you can have a Personal Pace mower." She never touched a mower again! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Okay, I confess, it took as long as it took for me to wander that far away from the motorcycle for my shadow to catch up with me! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I'm not sure what the previous owner covered up there. I mean I glanced at that photo and saw a dark image standing with a hand on my handlebar and behind the bike from where I was standing at first glance. I'm really surprised you guys don't see it Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Is that a specter mounting or dismounting my bike on the Nebraska side of the Vermillion South Dakota Bridge over the Missouri River? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

What I love about thePucster is that he acts like he's totally clueless about how much he means to all of us. Quite a legacy to be proud of Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Turned out to be the seal between the top and the reservoir was leaking down The Handlebar side where I couldn't see it. it was tight but I just had to clean it up and put it back together. and celebrate joyfully for the rest of the day that that was all it was.

Seems like I rarely get as good as 32. The Road King pipes may have a little bit to do with that though. I do enjoy leaving people at lights that look at the old man on the old bike as boring. ;-) Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk -

Kind of makes me wonder if anything has topped that day in the time since he posted?That is awesome! Private Aviation is a whole nother world! Just prior to Desert Storm, I worked for a publisher in Lincoln and I designed and implemented a publication for advertising turboprop and jet aircraft for private and corporate owners. It was called the executive controller. My territory covered Texas Kansas and Oklahoma which are major aircraft industry state. I'm very proud of the fact that that magazine changed advertising methodology of an industry! Within 9 months of our initial publication date, our subscriptions and distribution and advertising Revenue surpassed that of the dominant advertising publication for the previous 35 years. (AC Flyer by McGraw Hill) Within 9 months of its inception we were the top publication to advertise high dollar aircraft. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Sometimes when I tell someone that doesn't ride about a ride in 90 degree Heat and they will mention that at least I have the wind. I simply explain that the wind just changes it from an oven into a convection oven! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I just returned from a beautiful morning ride of an hour and a half. 65 degrees, Sunny with no wind to speak of. Rode out to my little spot on the river and had my coffee and came home. So my clutch master cylinder has decided that my left index finger needs to stay moist... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
