Doesn't look like it. Got our business wrapped up but now we're both sick.

Y'all are killing us!

We're good. Just some unexpected business. We may make it up for a day or two. We just can't commit. The vertigo is coming and going.

We we're so looking forward to this but we need to cancel. We may still make it up for a day but not sure at this point.

I see only 1 helmet packed in the trailer. Don't forget the other.

It's been 2 years since mine have been synced. Pretty sure it could use it again.

Driving the cage can be a challenge on some of the more sever episodes. I hope I never have one while on the bike.

I have a hearing aid for both ears. They have no effect on my vertigo as far as I can tell.

I've done that a few times. I make sure I have a hold of something until I'm stable.

Blood sugar is good. BP is under controll. Been on the same meds for years. Minor events started before I was on meds. Thanks for the suggestions. Jack has caused (dizziness) in the past. I now get the same feelings for free and dont have to worry about breathalyzers. Doc confirmed it's an issue with the inner ear. Getting out of bed can be a real test. I have fallen back in bed a number of times. Missed it a few.

Thanks Steve. The doc explained the crystals to me. They are always there. It's when they break loose from where they belong and get into the tubes that causes the problem. I said to the doc. So, your telling me I've got rocks in my head and he says "you caught that huh" LOL

I've had brief episodes of vertigo in the past but a few weeks ago I started having frequent and prolonged episodes. I went to the doctor and he gave me some exercises and recommended I take Meclizine. I bought the Meclizine and took the recommended dosage and it seemed to help some. I then read the precautions. It seems one suffering from glaucoma shouldn't take this drug. Well, I'd rather be dizzy than blind so I won't be taking any more of those. Does anybody else here have vertigo? What works for you?

The heat has put a real damper on our riding too. Shirley doesn't take heat real well in the first place and all these back to back to back 95 degree 75% to 90% humidity days has me volunteering to take the truck instead. It's just too danged hot.

My wife carries a water bottle with a sprayer on it in her cup holder, I carry the drinking water in mine. This has been working great for many years.

Same set up on my trike with almost identical mileage and wear.

You should see their large bags.

I like but a little pricey if you ask me. http://www.redbubble.com/shop/never+underestimate+t-shirts

Shirley and I will be in Maggie Valley for the TT rally. Can't make the Int. Calendar got too full.

RSV wet weight=869. Hannigan kit=320 for a total of 1189

We booked a room at the Quality inn again. Y'all are gona have to put up with us Wednesday through Sunday this time.

Let's go! Riding around seeing friends and making new ones is a big part of my retirement plan.

Nice but I'd never pay for a custom paint job. It would kill me to spend all that money just to get dinged up with road debris. And if you ride, it's going happen. The day I bought my RSV a stone hit the tank and chipped the paint before I ever got it home. The windshield on the last car I bought got taken out by a rock 2 days after I bought it. I bought a new truck about a month ago and I know it's coming.

Saw the PM and answered. Come on over! Yea, I know. Thanks everyone! So far it just seems like a vacation and that I"ll have to go back to work next week. I'm certain I'll get over that.

Thanks everyone! How about if I WORK at riding more? That blows. I know too many people who have lost there job's in the last 7 years. The good news is 2 years go by real fast.

That's right, I quit! Don't bother trying to talk me out of it. My mind is made up! I don't care what anybody says, I'm not going to do it anymore! 29 years at the same job is enough. I've turned in my company badge, keys, uniforms and city I.D. Logged off the company e-mail for the last time. SS payments will commence in the middle of the month an my pension checks start arriving at the end of the month. I'm a little nervous and a whole lot excited. :banana:
