    Well Wild Hair and I got to my place at 2:15 this morning after a 250 mile ride from Snarleys place. What a nice turn out met some new members and reunited with quite a few members from former events. Did 525 miles yesterday going up and back. My last big ride for awhile with my hip surgery scheduled for the first of June. So wont be able to do Don's MD this year:crying: Many thanks to Linda (Snarleys wife) for putting up with us all. Bill for putting on a great a event even though I was only there for the day. Wild Hair just left my place heading south to his. Looks like he may get a little wet going home. Always nice to have Lowell stop in for a visit. Hope everyone has a safe ride home from St Charles. P.S. I saw Cinderella Pig Out Again:stirthepot: John

    I would think twice on that. I think the tire yamaha puts on at factory different from one you can buy after market. I got 14000 miles on mine then then replaced them twice with d404s both times less than 5000 miles both rears went to dunlop Elll and got 16000 now Im trying a avon to see what I get with it.

    I dont see this happening either. Dont get your shorts in a bunch yet. I have been trying to get in the system for 2 years. The previous administration in their great wisdom in 2003 stripped allot of vets of being able to get va medical benifits that they were promised. I as a hard working american who was wise and saved money and invested and planned for my retirement was now not eligible for the benifits which I was promised when I enlisted because I have to many assets. Now I went and saw my va rep last week and he said as of june 1st I can apply because this administration is repealing that law. I will be concidered in the lowest class in line for care but thats ok with me because the guys coming home injuried need to be the priority at this time. John

    Wow Im sorry I missed this thread Im glad they caught it in time. I need to add a few things for all you guys afraid of going to the doctor. I went to the doc when I was 40 with a hip problem. Had been putting it off for more than a year. My doctor also happened to be my dads doctor before he died, so he new some of the family history so he ordered a psa testand it came back high. Your lucky your doc only did 2 biopses mine did 12 LOL. (hip pain is a symtom of prostate cancer) My test came back postive but still contained to prostate so I also had mine removed. So if some one on your fathers side of family has had it you need to start getting checked way before you reach 50. Been cancer free 9 years now.\ So take the time and get the blood test. John

    Dan I just had my roof redone on house and garage. The roof on the house probably had another 5 years or so before it needed done but garage was ready So went ahead and had them both done with Metal. It looks so much better than shingles. Took 32 3ft by 22ft sheets to do the house 30 3ft by18ft sheets to do garage. Cost was a little under 4000 dollars for material. I remember doing tar and gravel roof in California on smaller house than mine and it cost more than that.\ \ John

    Boy what a storm. My power was out for 6 days and my dsl just came backup today. It was a experience. Went thru 2 cords of wood keeping both fireplaces going. \ Couldnt get out of yard for 4 days even with 4wheel drive. Spent all weekend supervising my daughters boyfriend cutting up all the trees downed by the ice in my 76 year old neighbors yard. Will start my yard this weekend. I have I bet a 100 trees in bad shape if not 100's havnt been into the woods yet to see. For sure we will have plenty of wood for next year lol. But all in all we made it thru ok have all ready restocked for the next big storm.\ John

    Well 22 years of building Aerial and Underground Cable TV Systems has taken a toll on my hips. My left hip is in the worst shape. After seeing 3 Doctors they they came to the conclusion that I need a Birmingham Hip resurfacing, Not quite a full hip replacement. \ They elected to do this instead of a full replacement because they say Im to young. My question is, has anyone on here had this done and how long was the recovery period.\ From what I have read it is 6 to 12 months. Will have it done sometime between March and May. This means the wife and I will be caging to the International Rally which really sucks since its here right in our back yard. Once the hip is healed then will have my foot done which is another 4 to 6 months recovery. Doc says right hip will probably need to be done also in the next 3 years. So looks like my bike might be sitting for a while John

    I put the the Dunlop E III on front and back on my 99 RSV at 23,000 just replaced the rear last month at 37,000 with a Avon Venom. The front still has a little tread left will change it during the winter down time to a Avon. I liked the E IIIs if the venoms dont wear as good as the E IIIs I will go back to them. John
