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:

For the non campers, no not you rooster, where do you plan to stay? Black Mtn Super 8 crapped on us and called Shirley a liar. We won't go back there. The Quality inn gave us the attitude last time we were there. Don't really want to give them any more business. Thinking maybe Hotel 6.

I resemble that and agree with Pegasus, buy a replacement and the lost item's will show up. I've done it many times.

Well, I fall into that group from time to time. Thanks for the help.

I bet he was sampling some home made wine.

"An even easier way is to simply click on "User Gallery" under your Username from any post you have made." That's the only way I can find mine. I also don't see a way to upload any new pics.

We're looking forward to it.

Me and the wife tip the scales at a little over 430 lb's together. We've loaded up both bags, the trunk and pulling a full trailer with cooler. Traveled many thousands of miles with no issues what so ever and I never felt unsafe. Rear shock pumped up just under max pressure. Dunlop E3's @ 40 front and rear. .

I have the stock rear wheel and shock that came off for the conversion. Come get them.

My sister hit a deer so decided to install some deer wistles. She's only hit two deer since.

I have not rode a spyder but I have checked them out. After throwing my leg over and sitting for a few minuts I ruled it out. It was very uncomfortable to me. I think they have one now with a more up right sitting position. I already had my RSV set up where Shirley and I are both very comfortable so opted for the Hannigan conversion and couldnt be happier. Plenty of storage and the handling is superb. Cost for a full kit runs about $17000. http://www.hannigantrikes.com/products/yamaha-royal-star-venture-tour-deluxe-conversion/

Don't knock it till you've tried it. I still have a nice VTX I've hardly looked at since converting the RSV. This thing is a lot of fun to ride. I miss laying the bike over in the turns as does Shirley but, did I say, this thing is a whole lot of fun. And nobody does a trike better than Hannigan.

My battery took a dump on me Labor day. Luckily another rider at the motel had a mini battery jumper and got me going Tuesday AM so I could get to the shop and buy a battery. I bought 2 immediately. One for the bike and one for the car. http://www.amazon.com/Hot-sale-15000mAH-2013-Jump/dp/B00GX4Y9AY/ref=sr_1_7?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1445458765&sr=1-7&keywords=mini+battery+jump+starter

Some of us actually ride our bikes, take them on vacation and such. I usually cover mine when parked outdoors over night. It never occurred to me that I could wash the cover.

GO BRAVES! Wait.........what? Never mind.

This is why I wait untill I've traveled about 30 miles after the low fuel light comes on. That insures I have room to hold the entire contents of the aux tank. If I forget to turn the pump off, the engine starts to sputter when air is injected into the fuel line.

A new helmet maybe? Sorry the only thing I can think of is a seat mod. But then she may have a problem reaching the boards.http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_5062.jpg
