  1. Bubba and Johnny Ray were sittin' on the front porch drinking beer when a large truck loaded with rolls and rolls of sod went by. "I'm gonna do dat when I win the lottery," said Bubba. "Do what?" asked Johnny Ray. "Send my grass out to be mowed."
  2. the problem with emptying the tank isn't the fuel, its the air in the tank that will collect moisture and then cause condensation when the temperature drops. You're much better off with a full tank and sea foam, as there is then little air to bring moisture into the tank.
  3. Glad you had a good time. And you spread fun and excitement everywhere you went. cheers
  4. change is not always good.
  5. I have a carbtune in Dahlonega. PM me and we can do the carbtune. I'll be doing my RSTD soon as my mileage also seems to be off lately.
  6. Let me know next time you ride this. Maybe we can pull together some of GA riders.
  7. I 'think' I remember that an early Royal Star (Tour Deluxe, Classic, etc) pre RSV style had a shorter kickstand which is otherwise interchangeable.
  8. too many good people being hurt. prayers sent for her and the family
  9. Are you going to be able to get any relief from the insurance company of the woman who hit you? think lawyer in this situation.
  10. My nephew was given an early medical discharge from the Marines last week and has been stationed near Ft. Worth, TX. So rode here to my place in N. Georgia on his was to northern KY to visit his 2 kids (living with his Ex). He's got a beautiful, copper colored recent Vrod. Thats likely the Harley I would want. Rode some roads around the area Saturday, most of which were visited during the Vogel rally and wound up in Helen for supper. Sunday he wanted to ride the Dragon. We took the ride up US129 past Vogel and straight up 129 to Deals Gap, got there just before noon and had lunch. I turned him loose to ride the Dragon and on his way to Knoxville and north while I tried a new road. The Fontana Road is the 'other' road which runs north of US129 coming to a junction at Deals Gap. I haven't ridden it before. What a treat. Its NC28 and runs all the way to Franklin, a 2 hour ride of mostly narrow 2 lane twisty slow road. There were a couple spots where it was 4 lane or improved, but not too many miles of that. A lot of NC28 overlooks the Little Tennessee River. At Franklin there are lots of good riding roads to jump to, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Stay on NC28 to The Highlands and US64 east, north on 441 to Maggie Valley or Gatlinburg, or US64 back towards Murphy, NC.
  11. that was fast. must have ben a 1st gen
  12. I was about to post that Home Depot has these on sale, but the above link has a better price. Has anyone adapted the Milwaukee jackets to run off motorcycle power? they are 12volt, so it should be doable? Or has anyone used one with the 12v battery pack that is used in common with power tools? A heated jacket for $110 sounds like a fair price. attached is a pic of the jackets 12v connection, looks like a cord with a 12v plug of some kind to the battery pack. should be easy to make a mate for it to run off a motorcycle. $152 with battery and charger on Amazon.com [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048EJXK2]Amazon.com: Milwaukee 2331-XL M12 12-Volt X-Large Heated Jacket Set: Home Improvement@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Iz9qJ9KGL.@@AMEPARAM@@41Iz9qJ9KGL[/ame]
  13. There were 2 ventures at Deals gap Resort at noon today. a cherry and a cherry/black I was there on my 08 rstd.
  14. I wouldn't feel comfortable riding something that was that artistic.
  15. Thanks for the news Bobbie. Sounds like good news except for the memory problem. If he's on meds that may be contributing to the problem.
  16. http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110909/us_ac/9095487_texas_wildfires_numbers__from_the_biggest_blaze_in_state_history 126,844 acres burned. Prayers go out for relief.
  17. Neat. and in Georgia colors too!
  18. despite what I've said previously about being an acoustic guitar player, I bought a new Larrivee electric today. Spent a couple hours playing some different guitars at a nearby music store and left with the new Larrivee RS-2 Ventura with humbucker pickups and a Fender G-DEC3 Thirty amp. I need to re-energize my playing and practice, hopefully this will do the trick. http://randyrick.us/guitars/LarriveeElectrics/RS2VenturaHB/frontincase.jpg http://randyrick.us/guitars/LarriveeElectrics/RS2VenturaHB/FenderGDec3Thirty.jpg
  19. I may have one. Sold my gun but think I have an extra mag lying around. will pm you if I find it.
  20. prayers sent for a quick recovery.
  21. God bless you Kathy and Shannon and David.
  22. I have a case of 1935 Geco Sinoxide 9mm Steyr ammo that I shoot. Seems as good as new.
  23. In Maryland head west to Frostburg and Deep Creek Lake. From Virginia head west out US 50 to Front Royal.
  24. I probably ride my RSTD 30% of the time without the windshield. Have never taken off the passenger backrest though. I agree, it does give it a different feel.
  25. Looking forward to seeing your new bike at one of the M&E's some time.
