Have you taken him on an obstacle course?

Wow, and no USAF jokes either!

When I look at the "Current Active Users" I'm always surprised by how many "Guests" are logged on. I would think that for a lousy 12 bucks they would become active members and enjoy all of the priveleges of full membership. I suppose we all started out as "Guests", but it seems odd that they out-number the members by such a large margin. Just sayin'.

Looking at the the trailer cargo, wouldn't that have to be a BUSCHtech hitch???

Well, when I was in the Air Force we had a few things going on in the world. Cold war, Russian bombers in the air with nuclear bombs, Strategic Air Command with B52's in the air with nuclear bombs, Russia putting ICBM's in Cuba, just a few minor problems. We countered the threat with NORAD (North American Air Defense) Command by loading fighter/interceptors with air to air missles and some rockets that had the capability of blowing a whole wing of Russian bombers out of the sky with one rocket. You can guess what those war-heads were. Plus SAC (Strategic Air Command) had the B52's in the air 24-7 to offset the threat of Russian bombers. It was a serious responsibility then and I'm proud to have been a part of it. Nope, I wasn't on a front line, never fired a weapon at an enemy, but certainly had plenty to do and it was serious business. There was nothing humorous about it at that time and I fail to see the humor now with all that's going on. Too many young people dieing, and too many people not caring. And I didn't even play golf back then. I'm done. If I'm wrong to feel this way, so be it. To each his own.

Just wondering. What branch of our military were you in and when?

You might want to look at this. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/3/11/98/28037/ITEM/HJC-IS-2-Schade-Helmet.aspx?WT.ac=SLIsearch

The only picture I see is in my imagination, AND IT AINT PURTY!

I'm thinkin' that my '07 RSV keeps feelin' taller and more top heavy the closer I get to 74 years young, 'specially when two up. I'm looking into the "trike" kits that just add two more wheels, not the full blown trike conversion. Mostly a matter of budget, don't want to take off all those good parts (wheel/tire, saddle bags, etc.) in order to replace them with the high $ conversion. And then there is the Can Am Spyder. Maybe find a used/demo for a decent price? It would have to be a touring model, and I'd want the manual transmission. That electronic do-dad shifter just would not make me feel comfortable about reliability. If anyone here has any experience with the Can Am or know someone who does, please comment.

A flock of at least 30 robins in the yard, maybe up to 50 or so. Seems strange to see that many together at once, this far north (Indianapolis), at this time of year. Usually only see them in pairs and/or when nesting in the spring/summer.

Me HEY---- ARE THOSE GUYS SPELLING (HANG ON) O-H-I-O?

Did they help you get warmed up??? Make sure the flap is buttoned up.

It will be tough for the Mud Hens to win. They only put nine players at a time on the field!

Yep, that 'splains it all!

When initially viewing "Active Threads From The Forums" there are 15 threads showing. In order to view the remaining 5 on the first page I have to click on "MORE". After getting a full 20 items on the first page, all of the following pages have all 20 items on them right away. I am curious about why all 20 items are not viewable right away when looking at the first page. Not a huge inconvenience, just curious. I'll bet someone has a very logical explanation. Probably the "boss".

Do you suppose they have cassette decks? That mode of transportation hasn't been changed for years either!

Well-l-l-l, I have not commented up 'till now because the subject is really none of my business. That said, I've never been accused of being tactful or "politically correct" , nor for knowing when to stay out of someone else's business. Just learned some things in 73+ years. If I were so disenchanted with anything (forum, friendship, choice of motorcycle, spouse, etc., etc., etc.) that I no longer wanted to be associated with the offending situation, I would immediately disassocate myself from it. Would not wait for a membership to expire, just walk away --- but WOULD then proceed to kick the dog, burn my motorcycle, run away from home, go curse a LEO, and yell at my religious mentor. OR, I would get over it, put it behind me, find some way to be productive, and get on with my life. Life is short. No, I do not have a PHD.

Uh-h-h-h, if the Seahawks are lucky, they might beat Kevin's son's Midget team!!!

Quote: May be an OK set up, but if I have to trike I want it to be a true three wheel configuration. Well-l-l, I have to consider "budget constraints", can't go into debt like the nation. I always have to pay it back. Oops! Is that political?

Wa-a-a-ahh. With fuel injection we would not have a place for such a neat accessory. Aren't we lucky? -

Hm-m-m-m, I thought it was the ANSWERS that are hard! Yup, and asking questions is EASY! -

Unless you are in a hurry to get-er-done you might want to wait a while to see if they put it on sale. I saved a bundle. Absolute luck on the timing. They put it on sale just as I made the decision to get a trailer of some sort. Here is a copy of the thread I started back in June: Got my Harbor Freight Tag-Along trailer today at their store on E. 86th St. in Indy. Reg. price $399.99, on sale $329.99, 20% off coupon = $263.99 + $18.48 sales tax, total out-the-door $282.47. Had a busy schedule today, so have only done a partial assembly. Looks like some of the comments about cheap latches, etc. are pretty accurate, but I think it will probably work O.K. for me. I'll post again later after it's all together and I get a chance to use it.

Several Harbor Freight stores in the area. Probably worth the drive to save shipping charge if one of them carries it at the store. I got mine from a store here in Indianapolis. I did a Yahoo map for Macomb twp. and a search for Harbor Freight, came up with 6 stores in the surrounding area. I couldn't get the web address to copy and paste.
