Uturn

Welcome back Jeff. Was looking forward to riding to MD with you guys again, but it is a no-go this year. Enjoy your time a home and ride safe. MIKE aka Uturn

I will only run Avon on my bike now. In fact I just bought two earlier this month and Avon is offering a $25 rebate per tire. Take advantage of saving money. Just a thought. MIKE aka Uturn

JakeWilson.com had a price increase on all tires. Today, I ordered Avon Venoms and paid $12 per tire more than when I looked earlier. Saving Grace, Avon has a $25 per tire rebate to 15 May 2011. Attached is the Rebate Form. MIKE aka Uturn

Thanks for sharing your ride and pictures. Enjoyed all and glad you had a great day. MIKE aka Uturn

You'll have to straddle her hump. What a date !! Oh, I mean the car's hump !!! MIKE aka Uturn

Just a comment, my Mom uses the HC card in SC and has never lost one to theft, but her friend, over the years, has had 3 taken from her vehicle . Mom said she was told DMV will start putting the HC person's picture on the placard. I think that's a good idea. MIKE aka Uturn

I am planning to buy a balancer, looked at one at Daytona selling for $125. Saw one from HF today. How does the HF product hold up? Does the stand stay at a right angle? Are the cones and bearings good quality? Granted it is only ($50), but if its no good, thats not a value. Thanks for advice. MIKE aka Uturn

Prayers sent. MIKE aka Uturn

Thom, My Son and I are going down and look forward to meeting you. Looking forward to my first time. Again see you there! MIKE aka Uturn

Congrats, George .. Do you think Stud Muffin plans to upgrade his white RS??? After the other pics, maybe it was good I had to work and couldn't make this M&E. MIKE aka Uturn .

I read this and thought of members in the Upper Regions this year! MIKE aka Uturn ******************************************************************* DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER December 8 - 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow! December 9 We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shovelled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplough came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life! December 12 The sun has melted all our lovely snow.. Such a disappointment! My neighbour tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbour. December 14 Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shovelling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplough came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shovelling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so. December 15 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska , after all. December 16 Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel. December 17 Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room. December 20 Electricity's back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shovelling! Took all day. The dam snowplough came by twice. Tried to find a neighbour kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying. December 22 Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white crap fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to pee. By the time I got undressed, peed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plough on his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the butthole is lying. December 23 Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying. December 24 6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplough, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a ***** who drives that snow plough, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shovelling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplough. December 25 Merry fricking Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - Snowed in. The idea of shovelling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplough driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave. December 26 Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves. December 27 Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes. December 28 Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. My WIFE is driving me crazy!!! December 29 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am? December 30 Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plough driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his BUTT. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted. December 31 I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shovelling. January 8 Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

Thanks for the post -- we ALL need re-enforcement of safety techniques.... MIKE aka Uturn

How about giving me a call to see if I am there yet? MIKE aka Uturn

Thanks Bobbie, Great pics - Best thing next to being there. MIKE aka Uturn

Well, if needed, we do have ditches - But I don't recommend it, ask ECK. Looking forward to hope to meet you. MIKE aka Uturn

Thanks, mine arrived - works good. Glad I bought it. MIKE aka Uturn

Not sure, but I think Saltydawg has been using Colorado Chaps for a couple years (or longer). He had good things to say about them (reckon he still does). I haven't changed over to those I'm satisfied with my leather ones. BTW, if leather chap legs are too long, a razor knife works great. MIKE aka Uturn

Mini, Give them my Best Wishes and Congrads. Maybe they'll bring "That Girl" down to Smithfield on New Year's Day for all to see. MIKE aka Uturn

Dingy, PayPal sent for the head bearing spanner. Gonna beat the hammer and drift. Thanks, MIKE aka Uturn

Tell me about the $40 pegs. I was going to adjust mine today and the threads came out with the bolt. Kuryakn strikes!! MIKE aka Uturn

I use PRI-G in all my gas motors. Read about it on their site. Only plaace I've bought it at the marine suppliers. Good luck. ( For diesel, use PRI-D ) MIKE aka Uturn
