Lisa could only ride about 50 miles at a time on our seats. Had the Butt Butler rework both of our seats and WOW! Lisa can ride as far as we want to go now. Have put on many, over 500 miles days, and no complaints from the rear. (No pun intended, or maybe there is?) Thanks Rick! Bryan

Dan that is pretty cool! Mike & Cheri are good folk. So did Mike help you up onto Cheri's bike? Or did you have your stool with you? HEY, just asking, you know someone will and I wanted to be first at something! Bryan

Being born and raised on our farm, I have yet to see a "wagon" (two axles with a tong connected to one set of axles) that will pull straight at a "higher" speed. When driving semis we didn't call the tandem and triple trailers I pulled, "wiggle wagons" for nothing. A wiggle on a bike is not what anyone wants. Not sure that is the way you want to go? Two rear axles (close together) and a tong that will move up and down but not side to side may be a better option? All the weight could then be on the trailer axles and you could still go over uneven ground with out the trailer holding the bike up. With 2 axles and a solid tong I could see that happening. Bryan

I had both knees replaced. April 24th right knee and May 1st left knee of this year. Took longer for the Doc to release me to go back to work that I had wanted due to I had lost a lot of the muscle in my legs. (I thought he was nuts, but in Physical Therapy my right leg would only do 25lbs on the leg press.) Turns out I waited to long and had learned to get myself up using my arms and walking kind of stiff legged. Now? First get up from sleeping or sitting for a while and just a little sore and stiff for maybe 15 steps. After that I CAN WALK AS FAR AS ANYONE CAN!!!!!!!! Before I could not make it a city block with out stopping for a rest due to the pain. I LOVE MY NEW KNEES!!!! If you need new joints? DO IT! I doubt you will regret it. I had a great doctor, have more movement than I did before the surgery and had NO PAIN after the surgery. Had a scope done a few years ago with a Doctor that did not believe in pain managment, HURT LIKE #$LL............He SUCKED after being with the Doc that did my knee surgery. Maybe that is why I put it off????? Bryan

Well DANG, Ken and I should have done that on his Summer Solace ride last year. We had over 1000 miles in less than 24 hours. RATS! Bryan

Well I am not sure what the laws are there where you live. In Iowa "as long" as you are still married it is 50% to 50% here in Iowa. I was instructed by my "attorney" that I could sell every thing and as long as I give her half, everything was good. Well I didn't cause I wanted to do the "right" thing. Well as it turns out YES I could have sold it to a friend for $5.00 and gave her $2.50. The friend would sell it back to "me" after all paperwork and court dealings were done for a $5.00 profit. And according to the judge, "he said" as long as we were still married I could do anything I wanted to "our" stuff cause it was still my stuff too. BUT she would be entitled to 50% of what ever I sold it for. Trust me I will remember if it ever happens again. Bryan

? I didn't see where or what body of water he was putting it in? So I am going with the assumption he is putting it in his pond? With that said I would call it "Pond Monster Destroyer"! A couple of deck guns and depth charges and he's all set? OR, "PMS".....................................Pond Monster Seeker. Why? What were you thinking? Bryan

Rick, Wish I could go with you on your trip, but no can do. Hope your doctor is as good, or better than the one that did my knees. And do what the Doc and Physical Thearopy say to do. You will be ready to ride before you know it. Safe and fun trip! Bryan

DONE! Bryan

We call that "Other Place" Iowa. Sure sounds like the same place except for the gas stops. We have a few more now. Bryan

OH, OUCH!!!! Rick! What about the cabin "I" followed you to in Arkansas????? Huuuum? Bryan

Come on over to the Wisconsin Leaf Lookers Ride in October. We have fun, slow rides, stops and campfire and cook out when we get back to the cabins. P.S. Forgot, it is not a "Charity ride" just a fun ride with great people. Sorry I forgot the title you put on. Bryan

Iowa must not be suck a pain I guess. I built my trailer and went in told them what I did and it is made to be pulled by the motorcycle. She asked me the weight and I told her I could guess. She said that would be fine and just put it as a "home made trailer". Cost me $5 a year till two years ago when they upped the fee to $10 a year. Told my insurance what I did and they said it would be insured for $5000 as is unless I want more coverage "which would cost more" I said that is good for me. Not to bad since I have a total of $95 in it. Bryan

Well, this just means "should" I ever need to replace my RSV. I will just find a used one as it is the most comfortable bike I have ever been on. (For me anyway.) Bryan

You could put a set of these on? Bryan

Mike, We went up there a few years ago and stopped here . Just outside Thunder Bay a few miles, I mean "Kilometers". Since then they have installed a zip line. Lisa did not like the "swinging" bridge but she went on it anyway and now says she is glad she did. And of coerce Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Bryan

NICE RICK!!! SWEET TRAILER! Bryan

I feel for ya. :bawling:I had the scope done 4 years ago and Tuesday I go in to have both knees replaced. NOT looking forward to it. But I sure am looking forward to walking again. It will be so nice to walk with out pain! Bryan

Plates are required and I have one on my trailer in IOWA. Bryan

Sorry can't remember the brand. Can tell you when wrapped around the air cleaner jugs, due to the dark backing unless you are looking for them, most never see them till they are on. But thanks! Bryan

Mike? Huuuum?

Well I am getting both my knees replaced. Doc says I need to so 3 days and counting. :bawling:SO, I called a couple of good friends Mike (EUSA1) and Rick (AKA Rick Haywood) to see if the wanted some ROOT BEER? "Since they are close to the stand you know?" And my first ride this year. :sign woo hoo: 240 miles one way for me. (As Rick said, you may be a Red-neck Biker if you ride in 30* weather 240 miles to have a Root Beer?) I took off at 6:30AM Saturday at the lovely Iowa temp of 26*. :yikes:Sent a couple of "Glympse's" to my friends phones so they knew where I was. We all met at Princeton, IL at McDonolds for some much needed HOT coffee. All arriving with in 3 min of each other (Glympse is pretty cool! We all had different miles to ride from different directions.)We then rode over to Oglesby, IL to the "Root-beer stand". My first time there and all I can say is "I'LL BE BACK"! Was real nice to see some friends and get a GREAT Root-Beer before I get my surgery and I am off the bike for a while. To my surprise I went home with some new BLING on the bike! THANK YOU Mike! Got home at 6:30pm at a better Iowa temp of 42* (Love Iowa). Added some pictures before and after of my new "Wilson cut" Dog bones. Bryan

HEY, I thought Amish only road on steel wheels? Why the rubber? Bryan

First off no offense, and I know it may sound like a stupid question? But I did it by accident before so I got to ask. Is it in neutral? Pull in the clutch and try the starter? Bryan

Um, Sorry Mike, guess I can bet what you are doing today. Bryan
