We need a pastor for the group too. I for one like your user name , has a great ring to it. Bill

Hello Dave . I came home yesterday and commented "I saw 6 bikes today " and it's been a hard winter for sure. Yesterday when the temp hit 60° it was the first time in 5 1/2 months. I have to ask sometimes why do we put up with this stuff? I have a driveway that's just a mud field right now and I can hardly get a car down it and it will be a bit before a bike. Take care enjoy a few more spring rides for me.

Trader with An 83 , 84 , 85 & 88 your a collector of fine machinery

Nice work both of you . And proud you should be, thanks you two. Bill & Crew

This has my interest .Wonder if they would work on a first gen ? Thanks for posting

Yep he was going over 100 mph and so was the other bike with him. The sun is shinning today and it's 28 ° this is the worst driving conditions there is, ice everywhere. I had my truck sliding earlier today thinking it was just wet.

Motorcyclist hits pothole on I-394, thrown to his death "A motorcyclist struck a pothole along a winter-worn stretch of a Minneapolis interstate and was thrown to his death, authorities said Wednesday. Anand Baskaran, 30, of the Long Island community of East Northport, N.Y., hit the pothole along eastbound Interstate 394 near Theodore Wirth Parkway about 9:50 p.m. on Tuesday, according to the State Patrol. Baskaran was wearing a helmet. While the patrol says Baskaran is from New York, his LinkedIn page and other professional web profiles note employment with Maplewood-based 3M. Also, state records show a couple of minor traffic violations months apart since late 2012 in the Twin Cities area. I-394 in both directions between downtown Minneapolis and Hwy. 100 was particularly vulnerable this winter to potholes because a thin asphalt overlay was peeling away. Crews have been patching up spots in recent weeks. Originally built as a concrete freeway, I-394 drew noise complaints from abutting Minneapolis neighborhoods. The Legislature in the 1990s directed the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to put down an asphalt mixture with a higher friction resistance to reduce tire noise, a state pavement engineer said in January. The first layer was put down in 1996. When that wore out in 2004, MnDOT replaced it with a material that was stickier and gooier, allowing the agency to put on a thinner layer. MnDOT said it has been that layer, scheduled to be replaced in 2015, that has been peeling away and creating the gaping craters" I have to ask what going on ? It's still winter conditions here , melting snow everywhere and temps dropping below 32° at night. There are giant pot holes ,salt ,sand and ice and a lot of all these. I hate to see anyone lose their life and if you live around here you know it's not ridding time yet. R.I.P. Anand Baskaran

This is great news. Enjoy the ride everyday and have fun on the motorcycle too.

I think Colorado & Washington have forgot they were happiest.

That's a hard thing to watch and do. All the best for you and your family .Bill

That is a happier note, thanks needed that.

That bike looks right at home .

I thought that was you.

Way to go . That $250. - $350. can be well used somewhere else .

Lewis you are a driving force for a great if not the best originations , certainly one of the top . I saw Ellen's show on Monday and she did this "Ellen shared that Samsung was, in fact, donating $3 million to charity since they'd gotten so much exposure at the Oscars. Ellen will divide up the money between St. Jude's Children's Hospital and Humane Society of the United States." that's $1.5 million each . I'm home after carpel tunnel repair and have run out of things to watch / do. She is a good lady with all the things she helps out with. I'm in for one "T" now

As Miles once said to me "What did you do after breakfast ? surly you went ridding some more."

New ? I would go with a Goldwing .They changed everything from what I understand and put a 1800 cc power plant in 2001 and newer. I can't compare many cruisers because I always laughed at them until I got my 85 venture Royal . I have drove a 2002 wing and that thing handles like it's on rails and power out the wazoo. The biggest + reverse ,Just a well thought out ride.

Very hard to experience. I wish you all the strength and prayers you need.Bill

That's great and we'll keep your in our prayers for a speedy recovery.

I'll reply I have prior plans but next time or another date. St. Cloud is 20 miles from me, we met there last time and I got to see how my new tires do in the rain (heavy rain)

It's a game , in fact the whole Olympics is about games. Congratulations Canada celebrate away you earned it. Finland you to.

I just had my left hand done Thursday and will be in a splint / bandage for two weeks. I had Sevier carpel tunnel and I want to fix this before I need the clutch .We just got more sn*w yesterday ( 10" ) and it might be a bit before ridding season. Best of luck with yours. Bill

" I use my phone gps witch is much more accurate. " If there is a signal . In the northern part of this state your lucky to have running water and a flush toilet let alone a phone signal. I'll go with the GPS for navigation.

It was a great come back . I had carpel tunnel surgery and was in the recovery room for the last 4 min. and it all came together ( off the pipe ) for the Canadian team. I thought it must be the meds but no, Congrats well done.
