partly sunny and 50F today. Supposed to be in the teens with s**w starting tomarrow. So, i'll be taking the three running bikes alternately out for a run today. I've been expecting the rear tire on the RSV MM to need changing ever since I came back from Potato Creek, but it hasn't quite got there yet. I have a new one waiting to go on.

There is a Hopnel tank bib for the RSV on ebay. Its "sold" by big bike parts. I need this item but it wouldnt arrive in time before we leave for Potato Creek. Actually there are several available through various sites once I googled them. Is anyone willing to buy the thing for me, take it to Potato Creek and I would pick it up there and hand over the cash. Its around 55 bucks. Thanks

Ok folks here it is. Last fall while at the Cody Round up the notion of a possible "run for the Potato" was brought up and some interest was expressed. Potato equates with Idaho... Dates were tossed around, Memorial day week end was suggested, the only problem with that date is that Idaho weather is quite unpredictable during that weekend, (usually accompanied with rain) We have room for camping, we can rent porta-potties, we are twenty miles south of Salmon Idaho right on the river, very nice atmosphere, some excellent scenic rides. Seems there was a post recently regarding name the five best states to ride... come to Idaho and find out for yourself you might add Idaho to your favorites. We brew our own Cerveca and would be excited to make a special brew just for this event. We grow our own tobacco for you cigar lovers and are always excited to share. Our local Yamaha dealer has expressed an interest in sponsoring some of the ride...BBQ, etc.. One of the events we enjoyed most at the Cody run was the last night dinner where we all pretty much contributed to a communal meal. We found the relaxed atmosphere and jovial inclusion enhanced the whole experience. With that said, we would like to create a similar atmosphere. This can range from Fish taco feed to a large scale BBQ; there are numerous possibilities depending on expressed interest. (For you that have not experienced fish tacos..you have been missing out) Feed Back PLEASE! Teri n Erv

Sent to me by a friend, her experience with the Slap Chop!!! http://by142w.bay142.mail.live.com/mail/SafeRedirect.aspx?hm__tg=http://65.55.153.121/att/GetAttachment.aspx&hm__qs=file%3d4f5ba173-0f05-46b1-b25f-161f03b97cba.jpg%26ct%3daW1hZ2UvanBlZw_3d_3d%26name%3daW1hZ2UwMDEuanBn%26inline%3d1%26rfc%3d0%26empty%3dFalse%26imgsrc%3dcid%253aB59C2A8FB78B4E41A3E87105FE88FAB0%2540MichellePC%26msgHash%3dffffffffffffffff&oneredir=1&ip=10.1.106.117&d=d3092&mf=0&a=01_876752f5a38dcbe369b438544ef070645335e5b51bc47bf368a50c8ebb40c734 Ok so I got a slapchop for Christmas.......... This dirty SOB Vince convinced me that this invention would save time, and help me eat healthy. Vince and his GDM chopped nuts,fettuccine, linguine, martini, bikini. Let me tell you what this holy terror of a kitchen utensil really does......absolutely nothing. Let's look at a few things: 1. This thing is made of plastic and has a sharp blade hooked to a spring and a plunger. This is a poor combination to begin with. 2. The slapchop is about the size of a coffee grinder, which means a you need to slapchop size your food prior to actually using the slapchop. In order to do that you need a knife, if I have a knife in my hand already I may as well chop the vegetable right then and there. 3. One slap for large sizes, 2 to slaps for smaller sizes, three slaps for a fine dice....Thank you VINCE! Here's what it actually goes like!! One slap, twist and pry on plunger because vegetable is wedged in the cutting mechanism. Two slaps, still wedged and no smaller than the last slap.... why? because the blade didn't actually cut anything..it just did a quarter turn with potato stuffed inside. Three slaps, another quarter turn and now your potato is wedged so far into the wretched machine the plunger won't come out. Now since the veg is stuffed deep inside this devil contraption you must now take the thing apart, easier said than done. Vince says "its easy as one two three"THANK YOU AGAIN VINCE! It's easy to take apart sans potato stuffing however once those blades are full it becomes more difficult. Picture this, a slapchop full of potato, the plunger is stuffed all the way to the bottom so you can't undo the top part, and it won't turn enough to pry the bottom protector part off. Now keep in mind that this contraption has a sharp blade in it...so using your fingers to pry out the potato chunks is ill advised. What do you do? Three cut fingers and 7 band-aids later, Get a tool if course....now because you already had to cut your vegetable to slapchop size , you just happen to have a knife close by. It only makes sense to use that to dig out the jammed veg. Ahem... Caution at this point the slapchop is no longer a slapchop, it suddenly becomes a spring loaded vegetable cannon! As soon as you wiggle a tiny piece of the vegetable in question out of harms way you can fully expect to get showered in large chunks of potato (or onion, or peppers)...remember these are large chunks that fly fast and hard....because this stupid device still hasn't actually CUT ANYTHING! I am going to personally kill the man that invented this GDM thing...in fact ....because Vince says it works great on nuts...I feel like using it on his I bet this stupid SOB has a SNUGGIE as well.....

I stopped at a dealer today and was talking about how my Venture sounds like a sewing machine and that I miss the 'Potato, Potato' sound of my V-Twin. He took me to his Venture and turned it on - It sounded great! He said they were slip-on mufflers, something like BUB...???? He couldn't remember the name of them. Do any of you have any idea what ones he is talking about? craigr
