  1. Great...another one
  2. Me thinks that would be wishful thinking on Froggies behalf. Besides Mamamo wouldn't give us any ammunition to use against her at a later date
  3. Wayne, No worries my friend, we'll still be able to get those pipes on your scoot
  4. To all my G2 comrads, After much thought I have decided that I am not going to be making the Muffler brackets for the H/D mufflers to the G2. I haven't been real happy with how the last few sets have turned out and I dont have the proper equipment to make them how I want to see them. This being said I will not be taking any orders for them...but there is good news here. I have talked with Hilliss here on our site, he will be taking over making them as the need arises so if you want to get a set, he would be the man to get ahold of. I have a set of his brackets that he sent to me to look at, and I'll tell you that you wont be disappointed with them. His quality is top notch and I like his workmanship. I'm sorry if this comes as a bit of a shock, but you'll still be able to get your H/D mufflers on your G2....it just wont be with brackets made by me. Thank you to all of the members that purchased sets from me....we'll see you on the road
  5. Rick....you just aint' right I suppose after having a 1st gen all those years you had to come up with something to not like the G2
  6. Keep it up buster....your coming over this weekend, remember
  7. Glad that you were able to pull some magic Nancy. Lonna called them within the last week and they said they wouldn't take reservations till after the 1st of the year
  8. Got this in an email....seems very fitting, especially since a Marine wrote it. Semper Fi What Is A Veteran Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet? He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. He is the POW who went away one person and came back another or didn't come back AT ALL. He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the parade riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by. He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep. He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket palsied now and aggravatingly slow who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, the greatest nation ever known. So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded. Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU." author- Father Denis Edward O'Brien USMC Thank you to all my brothers and sisters that sacrifised part or all of your lives to make this country what it is. I am humbled to be able to stand with you for you are the heroes that I look up to.
  9. Just a quick note and it's off to bed for me. Walked in the door at 1110 pm 17 hours after we left Gene and Becky's. Todays jaunt was about 940 miles we must be stupid or Masochists....maybe both Again thank you all for showing up, what a great weekend! We really didn't want to come back north, we have good friends here, but it's 31 degrees right now I'll come on during the week and get my babbling back up to speed. Thanks again for all the hospitality and it was great to see everyone and make some new friends...Y'all be safe
  10. We did make good time...walked in the door 20 minutes ago
  11. Nice pics there, some good looking folks there....and only 400 and some odd pics to go through
  12. Nope....were still in NC Jen has been having a rough time today with stomach cramps and being sick. Were going to head out tomorrow morning and kill ourselves to make it home tomorrow so I can go to work Tuesday. I really just hate to leave
  13. I have a bit of experience on them
  14. Thank you for slowing us down a bit Russell, God bless all the warriors, past, present and future.
  15. Dave, I'm really sorry that we didn't get a chance to talk with you and spend some time. I hope hope next time we can chat a bit, kudo's as always to Muffin for helping you out
  16. I got to hear the story about the motel....this is why I stress to members that you have to show up to these meets and eats. There are somethings we just can't discuss on the forums
  17. Here's what you want http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/accessories/acscitemdetail/5/4/83/407/all/1/186/0/detail.aspx
  18. To be honest with you, sometimes it's just easier to remove the lowers to be able to have easy access to all the hardware. I have found that even though it seems like it's more work to take it all off, it's quicker in the long run.
  19. He's not the only one that that is thinking that way, I think many of us are getting ntired of Yamaha's responses
  20. Jeff, I want to thank you again for all the effort in bringing the SS bike down to Gene's house. It was great to be able to be down here and ride with all of you, I really appreciate you thinking about me my friend
  21. Something that I want to add here is that Bobbie was a REAL trooper with getting her Tattoo. I KNOW that it was painful for her, her facial expressions aren't for the camera. It really did hurt her and I feel bad that she had to go through that, she is the one that really deserves the kudos Thank you to all that donated for this cause and I would absolutely like to give my deepest thanks to Eric who donated his time for my Tat and Bill for Bobbie's Tat. These guys do awesome work and I have to say that if I do get another one, there is only 1 guy that I will let do it. BTW the tattoo parlor is called Oddessy on S. Marine in Jacksonville NC.
  22. Haven't you figured out it's all about ME!
  23. He's talking about the clutch basket Tate. Some of them will scream a bit and they replace them with the I basket. You'll know it if it has that and its still under warranty, so no worries
  24. Go look in the inked post, there are some pics in there now.
  25. Hey look....it's you
