  1. I've called the 2 hospitals in Macon that do medivac, Coliseum and Medical Center and neither have a Tom Foreman. Is "Foreman" Tom's correct last name? I'm just going by the answering message at his father's phone (may be a step father with different name). is there another hospital I should check?
  2. Thanks Robert. I called Tom's dad Bill, and got an answering machine message from the Foreman's. I left a message of support from Ventureriders and asked them to call me with more info.
  3. 1539 photos. Going to make a fresh cup of coffee before I start the slide show. Good seeing you two at Vogel. I missed the fact that Jacque was there. So how come she wasn't helping distribute raffle prizes this year?
  4. I suspect your problem is something else. I went from stock windshield to a Showchrome short-wide and didn't see any change in mileage on my recent trip to Cody. still get 40+mpg at 65mph
  5. prayers sent for Tom's recovery. I presume he's in a hospital in Macon, GA. I see several hospitals on the map, not sure which one would take a medivac emergency? Does anyone have Tom's last name, its not in his profile? Is there someone here who is a riding friend of Tom's who could call his father?
  6. I'm about 4 hours away. I don't have a MC trailer at the moment. Not sure what help I could be.
  7. Redheads aren't issued ammo.
  8. Lets see, where did I put that pin for the hand grenade ????
  9. Eck's Goldwing just looked like it was going faster
  10. Prayers for your sister Hal. Ponch, be strong brother.
  11. Does the grinding noise continue, or is it a one-time noise when you release the clutch in neutral?
  12. amen Thanks to Lewis and Charlene and all those who made this a great rally.
  13. maybe eating too many bananas has caused all our ills?
  14. no proof ? There was a witness, you. Thats what most cases are decided by isn't it? And the Officer, camera or no camera, was also a witness. Thats 2 witnesses.
  15. its ok. Just expand it and its readable
  16. http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/venturerider/Vogel%202011%20RandyR%20Day3%20The%20Dragon/ More Pics. Day 3 Vogel to Dragon via Cherahola Skyway and back via US 129.
  17. Before leaving on the Dragon ride this morning we had a group prayer for David's recovery and for Cathy and Shannon.
  18. prayers go out for Eileen and her family.
  19. http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/venturerider/Vogel%202011%20RandyR%20Day1/ Had a great ride from Vogel to Fatz Cafe in Blairsville for dinner tonight. And some good conversation with friends old and new.
  20. I'm leaving to goto Vogel which is 30 minutes from my home. I'll update everyone there w ith the latest good news about the improvements David has made. And make sure you give Kathy and Shannon at least 100 hugs from all of us.
  21. Had a friend with a Vmax. I read up on it a little and liked the engineering. Then discovered the same basic engine could be had in a cruiser/tourer. I wanted a reliable bike for a cross-country trip.
  22. A great percentage (I almost said majority) of US citizens are very non-aware when it comes to international-anything. So they just avoid it.
  23. For whatever its worth, I've probably shipped several dozen items internationally from the USA using USPS, and in the big scheme of things it is no more hassle than shipping in the USA. One minute to fill out a customs form, is a 'drop in the bucket' after spending time a) listing an item, b)taking money, c)corresponding with a buyer, d)boxing the item, and e)going to the Post Office. Paypal makes it easy, but there is a currency conversion charge that a seller may want to add. But paypal does say its against their rules to charge back paypal fees. Sometimes I've done that and sometimes not. For expensive items I've used SWIFT international bank transfer, but my bank does charge a $16US fee for an incoming SWIFT transfer and frequently I get a few dollars less than agreed on due to the US dollar going down in the 2-3 days it takes for my bank to post the transaction. The best way to take money internationally for a US seller is to be paid in a money order drawn in US dollars, or Federal Express traveller checks. But one has to be cautious of bogus check scams, which abound. ie: I won't ship an item until the funds clear.
  24. Lewis. I'll check at home for updates before riding to Vogel each day.
  25. I wonder how much throttle he had left?
