I'm tellin' you, that man was truly traumatized by that incident. In hind sight I believe I really should have stepped up and prevented this horrifying, irreversible life damaging event. The Darkside kicked in and I just thought it was going to be funny as hell,,,,,,,,,and it was!

I wish they had been a door, so I could have done him like a lobster, and closed him in there for a few minutes until he stopped kicking!


Damn, I had a good time!

I had such a good time, GOOSE even steered clear! I'll find him next time and he will pay!

Did you happen to see a well burned cigar smoking red headed feller with one maybe two young babes half his age with him? We couldn't raise him on the phone and ain't seen him for two days!

Gene and Dave were the only ones that had enough since to act right on the whole trip. I expected them to do right. They the reason we wasn't dead the first day. They kept us out of biker bars, wouldn't let us rent jet ski's or let us buy fire works either.

I'm afraid Ray's done forgot about his job and where he was living before he went down there. On top of that, theys at least three women down there that need to get in touch with him about a test that he needs to get to the doctor and take care of immediately.

Got home about 5:30 this afternoon.
Had one helluva good time.
Except the leather store.
And since you can't unsee things, it's possible I'm scarred for life.

Great to hear from you again! I was just before calling you

That leather store event can be chalked up to a learning experience. Things like that ain't funny while it's happening. I wish I had thought to snap a picture. Your right you can't unring that bell.

Get hold of Ray, let him know I'm thinking about him and to stop by if he made it to NC!

I bet the leather shop incident was funny, sorta reminds me of an incident of someone else walking into the wrong hotel room. (FUNNY) Wish we could've been there.

Mike, you sure have a way with words.
Just curious, what was wrong with your bike?

As it stands right now it quits firring on the front cylinder from time to time. I had to work on my wifes car when I got home, so I won't get to it 'till maybe Tuesday. I did a search on it and it comes up every once in a while. It should be a simple fix. I suspect maybe the TFI, which is easy to check. What ever it is I'll fissit. It's a very easy bike to work on.

I'll post it in the Garage section for the new folks and the one that don't like to search.

Bless her little Nomad heart, she got me home. She got a heart of steel and its always warm and full of love for me.

I'm glad to know it's the people that make it fun no matter how big the turn out is. Rides and roads are just another event. The thing is, too me they keep getting better.

I can positively say without a doubt, weather don't got nothing to do with it either!

the weather!

Damn you got loaded again.

And scored another deal!

Good to hear from you again, I was worried I was gonna have to fly back down there and identify a body or something. I knew the jail didn't have yah. That was the first place I checked.
