Just waiting to see if it makes the 2nd Gens any faster...... Hey...at least it wasn't a political post....

Where are you crossing the border into Mexico ? You heading down the Baja way or over to southern Arizona way ? Inquiring minds want to know... OK nosy guys want to know. Either of you guys carrying a SPOT with you that we can follow ?

It was just a joke... guess southwest humor is lost on some... I jokingly threaten my dog all the time...while scratching his belly..that he is just one shot away from being the perfect dog.... Big Tom, if you were offended by the joke I apologize. I left my dog ( Rottweiler) with a house/dog sitter. Got home last night and had 3 dogs. The dog/house sitter found 2 dogs that nobody has claimed. All contacts with Humane Society, animal control etc were made. They are adorable. My wife was furious on the way home from the airport that there were additional dogs at home.... 15 minutes with them, she said we were keeping them if nobody claimed them. Put them all in the kitchen overnight. Woke up and only my dog was in the kitchen...found the other two cuddled up on the living room couch. Still trying to figure out how the small one got out.

A touching story on how men think…… As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what Martha?" "What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth. "I'm beginning to think you're bad luck."

You know that one you could have saved yourself $999.72 with one .28-cent .45 cal load.... .... Hey...just sayin'....

Congrats Grandpa !!! I just put my 16month old Grand Princess to bed. Last time for the next 6 months... we leave in the morning... enjoy yours.. and it looks like you have a beautiful feisty lil red head to spoil...

I think you guys should blow up his FB page with posts until he returns... he can run..but he cant hide..

Hang in there Grandpa...

I checked this out on Snopes and it's for real! AMAZING, SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES: 1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP. 2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK. 3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER. 4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON. 5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH. 6. YOU NEED ONLY TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE. 7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. O.K. So I didn't check it out with Snopes.

Just passed by Fayetteville...looked like it was trying to keep up with a couple of Mopeds on I-95....

Scientific research has shown that although Big Tom has an adverse feeling towards fluffy white stuff (aka snow) it LOVES Big Tom and would follow him where ever he goes. The Sahara Desert would become a ski resort if Big Tom moved there. Snow is just a second cousin to ice cream. Where there is ice cream, there is Big Tom. Where there is Big Tom, there is snow.. reality is reality... just what it is...

I know different versions have been around, but.... YOU MIGHT BE A BIKER IF........ If you paid more for your bike than you did for your wife's engagement ring... If your Christmas cards have a picture of Santa Claus on a motorcycle... If you ride your bike to work at least two or three days a week... If you subscribe to three or more motorcycle magazines, and still pick up extras every week at the newsstand or motorcycle dealership... If you spent more on tires last year than you did on clothes... If you check the Weather Channel on Friday, knowing full well you're still going to ride that weekend depsite what they say... If you can rattle off the names, model designations and horsepower ratings of all the newest bikes, but can't remember your kids' birthdays... If you ever had your barber/hairdresser cut your hair really short so you wouldn't have to comb it out every time you took your helmet off... If you ever grew a beard just to keep your chin warm when riding in the winter... If your personal stationery, credit cards, checks or business cards have a picture of a motorcycle on them... If your bike(s) is kept in your garage, while your car is parked outside... If you remember the exact day you bought your first bike, but have trouble remembering your wedding anniversary... If you sometimes buy premium gas for your bike, even though it doesn't need it, just because you want to show it you care... If you can't walk away from your parked bike without looking back at least once to "see if it's okay"... If you look for excuses to hang around your local motorcycle shop for hours on end, even when you have no business to conduct there... When you're pulling into a parking lot or rest area, if you look for other bikes to park next to so you can talk to the riders... If you won't rent a motel room unless you can park where you can see your bike from the window...And, when you get up in the middle of the night to take a leak, you stop by the window just to see if it's still there... If the return address on all your outgoing mail is those little sticky labels from the AMA... If your cell phone's custom ringer has been programmed to play "Born to be Wild" or "Bad to the Bone"... If you ever detoured 100 miles out of your way just to catch 20 miles of twisties... If your life partner has ever said to you, "You're getting awful cranky lately ~ maybe you should go for a ride"... If you use $6.00 a quart oil in your bike, and buy whatever's on sale for $0.99 to use in your car... If your carry-on luggage on the plane is a tank bag... If your pet dog/cat/goldfish or whatever is named "Scooter", "Harley", "Vincent" or "Triumph"... If you know the exact make, model and size of tires that are on your bike, and precisely what inflation you run in them, but have no idea what brand is on your car... If you buy earplugs in packs of a dozen... If you believe than any piece of metal might look better chromed... If you ever tried to teach your dog to ride on the bike with you... If your idea of "taking it easy" is only riding 200 miles today... If you thought buying your wife a new helmet for her birthday was a good idea... If you think 8 a.m. is too early to start work, but 7 a.m. is too late to start a ride... If you turn to look every time you hear a motorcycle exhaust... If you ever went for a ride when you were sick, rationalizing that it might make you feel better... If you once rode 1,000 miles or more in a single day, just to see if you could do it... If you occasionally realize that you forgot to eat lunch, or dinner, or both, because you were "too busy" riding... If you've ever run out of gas for no other reason than you wanted to see how far your bike would go on reserve... If the guy behind the parts counter at your local dealership greets you by your first name when you walk in the door... If your wife threatened to leave you if you bought one more bike, and started getting her luggage out of the closet... If you stare out the window of an airplane, trying to imagine what it would be like to ride the roads you're passing over... If you occasionally go out to the garage just to "look in" on your bike... If you spend more time hanging out in the parking lot, among the bikes, tha actually going inside the place you just rode over 100 miles to get to... If you ever argued~with your wife or yourself~ that it was too cold (wet,windy or whatever) outside to work in the yard, and then went riding instead... If the first thing to wear out on your boots is the top of the left toe... If you can identify various insects by their flavor... If you find yourself leaning into turns when driving your car... If you've ever decided it would be easier to just ride the bike than to scrape the snow off the car... If your answer to, "Why do you own three bikes?" would be, "Fool~because I can't afford four!"... If seeing something leaking out of your motorcycle causes you more anguish than seeing your own blood...

Oh yea... and when she is old enough don't forget to give her a big blue icing cupcake... Grandpa's prerogative.... and mommy will clean her up....

looks like she's ready to drop the Grand Princess AND a 1st Gen. Good luck Grandpa. I'm visiting my 16th month old Grand Princess and loving every minute of it. P.S Hint: When she is old enough to walk... and you take her for a walk...and she gets tired so you hoist her up on your shoulders for the walk back... before you do that...check her shoes FIRST to make sure she didn't just step in fresh dog poop... don't ask how I know that....

So.. what I hear you saying it is as good as condition as most 2nd Gens ? C'mon Dan...where are you ???

I had a situation earlier this year ( thread was deleted due to uncalled for comments) where a neighbor pulled a gun on my wife and I while helping another neighbor move out of their house one night. I had just got home and left my .45 on my front seat instead of my U/C holster. He was an idiot and even though I could have pressed charges for 2 counts of Agg assault, threats and intimidation and possibly 2cts of kidnapping ( preventing freedom of movement by force) I chose not to. The idiot still hasn't apologized to this day. I'm just glad our incident and yours turned out OK.

Then tell him to get on here and acknowledge his fan base before we send the paparazzi after him.

I think we need to offer a sacrificial offering of a 2nd Genner. We can ask for volunteers and if that doesn't work, we can take a vote as which one gets sacrificed.

Me too!!! Time out is over....time to come out and play ...

Welcome and congrats . The PGR is something else . Just remember dark sunglasses.

I have some from an 84 which I thunk are still the 1200s . Would that be the same slide ? If so you can have one.

I agree...and if there was a like button I would have pushed it.....

One Mission I really wish I was on ! Article: Bikers descended on the town of Newtown yesterday and linked arms blocking the hate group protesters of Westboro Baptist Church from disrupting the funerals. "More than 100 riders from New York and Massachusetts, organized by the anti-Westboro group Patriot Guard Riders, were also in Connecticut on Wednesday to show their support, Patch reported. The lined the streets arm in arm." “All these guys see us and think we’re bad. We’re not. It’s solidarity, is what it is,” New York native Jim Hannigan told Newtown Patch. “I just felt I had to be here.” Source and Photo by Newton Patch.

From what I have heard, the RSV takes gas and the RSTD takes a dose of penicillin.. ..

I hated it at first but my wife liked it. It grew on me over time and just last night my 83 year old father watched it for the first time ( my wife had the remote) and I think he liked it. we watched two episodes with him... it definitely is entertaining..
