[Gas prices]

Just saw $209.9 here dropped a little last night.

[WNY Northeast Regional Rally]

Bob I have had to miss this one do to not having Vac. time. I am taking a permanent layoff the end of May so I will try to make it up there next year.

[Puc Found you a Christmas present]

Puc do you know anything about the early years of HD? I saw an article about them selling the rights, patents and machinery to Japan back in the 30's. to keep from going under. I guess that was the start of the rice burners that they are called to today.

[Dag gonit, my avalanche was just in an accident...]

That sucks Eck hope you get it fixed and not at your cost.

[Windshield bag for Baggershield]

I installed mine a little different than most have. I cut the bags apart and then drilled through the windshield and each bag then mounted each bag separately.

See attached pics.

 

Eck that is how I mounted my bags but I only have the two on the sides of the shield.

[Sort of a whistle sound]

Mine has a whine in 3 rd gear. The good thing about that is I am not in it very long.

[I didn't wash it]

Jay you should not be using your phone as a catch pad for the U-Joints in the first place.

[Anniversary Today]

Congrats to you and the wife.

[This time of year, warm weather means]

If I were 5 + hours from Lake Erie I'd have gone for a ride also but having a stash of perch in the freezer makes NOT riding a couple days WAY worth it.

 

Well I could go 3 hours west of me and go fishing in the river behind my brother, he has been catching trout in the 7-10 pound range. That makes for some good fillets.

[I HATE when people mess up my stuff through ignorance.]

Jeff you should know by now that if you want a job done right do it your self.

[This time of year, warm weather means]

62* here today and sunny. Went for 174 mile ride.

[It's getting closer and closer!!]

When you get ready this spring I can show you some of our great trout streams...... Might even find a empty bunk for ya.

 

I may just hold you to that

[It's getting closer and closer!!]

Don I was thinking of retiring last spring but didn't. I got the wife a new Mustang as she drives almost 100 miles to and from work each day. Turns out she doesn't like driving it. She says it is too hard on her knees getting in and out so I drive it and she the Explorer. I am going to retire at the end of May and then go to work on the Honey dos around the house. Then I may take up hunting and fishing again if I have the time. We would like to travel on the bike some but until she retires it will be limited to a week at a time.

[new venture for 2016]

Turtle, I have 51k on mine. Love my bike but I would like something different.

 

 

Big Lenny, I don't sugar coat. That is the problem with todays society. Everyone needs sugar coating and polical correctness. It just boggles my mind at how every year somebody starts this type of thread and then all you here is "I talked to this guy and he said this or that". I hope Yammy does come out with one for the masses. That way all the hoping and praying goes away. I am not trying to be a jerk but.......it is my nature.....ask my wife! As I stated though, I hope they get you boys a new touring bike but I really think you will be dissapointed on Christmas morning.

 

I am with you on a new bike. But what I am looking for is a trike. I will keep the RSV to ride till I think it is time to give it up. Then it will go to my oldest son and his wife. I may let them ride the RSV some while I take the trike out.

[Looking for a local HONDA mechanic]

Eck I am not in AL but my son and his friend work on those old Hondas all the time. I would be interested in buying it the way it is if he will sell it. I have been looking for an older bike to use for short days on the road.

[DL650 V-Strom]

Glad you made it home safe and with the new ride. Looks sharp.

[Just thought I'd share this.]

Yeah but when he gets it done it will be worth three times that.

[Anybody have experience with Suzuki GS650]

Don I had a 78 GS 1000 and wish I had it back. Those old bikes take a beating and just keeps on running.

[Indian Roadmaster test ride]

I have decided to wait till next year and the bike I get will probably be Goldwing trike. If I can not find what I am looking for in My price range I will trike the RSV. That way I will stay with a water cooled bike and plenty of dealers.

[Indian Roadmaster test ride]

Eck from what I was told Victory and Indian will not service each other. Have to go to the respective dealer.

[What is your winter project for this year?]

Sit back and watch it

[The Fastest, and Best way to Winterize your bike]

I don't have that problem here in WV. of winterizing the bike. I have had it out at least one day a month since I have owned it.

[Indian Roadmaster test ride]

The shop I was at has an ultra in that same color. Don't know it is a 15 or not but nice looking bike all the same.

[Indian Roadmaster test ride]

I test rode a Indian Roadmaster when it was about 90+ degrees in Concord, NC. It was a hot ride when we slowed in traffic. I didn't care for the gearing after my RSV and RSTD that I still ride.

So, being 65 and trying hard to retire, wife and I decided to start looking for a GW trike for spring. Well then you start looking a Cycle Trader, Ebay and Craigslist. Oh dang, found one on Craigslist just down the road.

Things worked out and, well we got an early spring. GW Trike time.

 

Will keep the RSTD, that's MY ride. But will make sure I did the right thing and then sell the RSV. (But the RSV is a smoother ride than any trike.)

 

That is a nice looking trike. Is it white or light silver? Hard to tell in the pics.

[Indian Roadmaster test ride]

Puc I have no problem riding it for a few more years if my legs hold up. I was going to let my son have the RSV to ride. We may find him one to ride and then look for a trike.
