    I hope to enjoy my night riding a lot more soon after I have my cataract surgery. This last month my left eye is like I am looking through wax paper. I am scheduled for a final review on the surgery on the 30th and hope to get a lot better soon. RandyA

    I am going to add some pictures and a sketch. The dimensions are from hole centerline to centerline. The steel dimensions are bottom strips are 3/8th by one inch. The strips going up to the top bolt holes are 1/4 by one inch. RandyA You will have to compare the characteristics of the hitch with the sketch for it to make sense. If you click on the sketch it should get big enough to read.

    I have pictures and most of the sketch with mount point dimensions. I will try my best to get them posted this evening. RandyA

    Like a lot of folks, we will be looking at our budget as we go through the summer. I do hope we can do a bit more camping with the little camper and the bike. A couple of years ago we took a whole week and stayed in three different camp grounds from Fall Creek Falls state park toward middle Tennessee to Townsend in the Smokeys to near Mt Mitchell just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was just a wonderful week. I would love to do something like that again. We are also going to Mini Asheville in early July and that should be great. RandyA

    The best fix I have found is Industrial Strength Velcro. Clean both surfaces and put the Velcro on and it works great. RandyA

    Mark, whether you pull the wheels or pay someone else, make sure to remove the rear end and grease all the splines on the wheel and driveshaft. On the carbs, I always take the cables loose at the hand grip before I install them on the carbs then put the handgrip back together. That is what works best for me. RandyA

    Humm.... I do remember a conversation at Asheville about a little project you and Leslie were working on. Is this going to require a sidecar on that 1st gen? RandyA

    Hey Lew, you guys getting caught up any on your ongoing drought? We are a little ahead so far for the year here in east TN. RandyA

    Like a liom here in Tennessee. West Tn got up to 18 inches of snow yesterday and we got about an inch so far here in east TN, RandyA

    If you are going to be in Gatlinburg, go on over the mountain on 441 and visit Cherokee, NC, You can also get on the Blue Ridge Parkway there and go back to Asheville. It goes up to more than 6,000 feet. This is the most majestic part of the Parkway. It is a shame you are not going to be there around July 10th as that is when we are looking at the Asheville rally. To be honest with you, there is at least a month of good riding in that area. RandyA

    Hey, I became a Great Grand Father about eight months ago and I am still not very serene and wise. Congrats, grand kids are a lot of fun and you can send them home when you are tired of playing with them. RandyA

    Well, it looks like we WERE number one in 1983!! At least in the touring class. RandyA

    Last year we had sites from about 19 to 25 by the lilly pond. This year I want # 22, which is one down from where Laura and I were last year. Also, these sites are plenty big enough that more than one tent can be set on any of the sites. You may have to pay a slight fee. RandyA I think that last picture explains where the wine went I bought at Biltmore.

    What do you mean, we're not number one? RandyA

    We all know that if you have been drinking that you need to stay away from a motorcycle!! RandyA

    Ken, at this time I think we have a lot of folks that are afraid to commit to just about anything. I hope you can make it as this is just a low key, kind of extended M & E, with some great riding roads. RandyA

    Just bumping this back up. RandyA

    Laura is going to Birmingham for a week and when she gets back we will go to Asheville and see what is going to take to set it up. I will need to start getting a head count on how many will be attending. Thanks, RandyA

    I tried many years ago but just could not get into it. In Blue Highways, The author spent the 3rd day or so in Jonesborough, TN, which is the oldest town in TN, which is also where I graduated high school. He told stories about Jonesborough that I had never heard before. He called it blue highways because in olden days the color of the secondary roads were colored blue and like me, he despises interstates. Any good used book store should have a copy or two. RandyA

    I just ordered mine!!! That is at $102.95 shipping included. My local independent dealer quoted me one at $124.95 and with taxes that would be about $136 so I done good. They both showed list at $179. Thanks George, you da man!!! RandyA

    I took off one bag and took pictures this evening. I also took a lot of deminsions and will draw up a sketch I can scan. Did not realize how dirty the bike was under there. RandyA

    So, you like being abused, huh Cindy? RandyA

    I envy you. One of these days I would love to ride the Keys. RandyA

    Curt, you beat me to it. This has got to be one of the best reads on traveling around the country. I have at least one hard back copy and a couple of paperback copies laying around somewhere. RandyA
