Even though I disagree with your ramblings magley, I apologize if my post seemed rude.

Count me in. Based on the description, I'll be starting in the medium trying to keep up with Snot.

recently had this one vacation in the last three year. wanted to do something memorable and tick something off the bucket list. And decided this was the best answer. This is not a motorcycle ride video. This is just a video trying to capture our two wheeled experience in one of the best riding roads in the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2nmXovV4G4

I started a "tradition" with our oldest when he was in 3rd grade by taking him to Washington, D.C. for the last couple days of his spring break. 3rd grade is about the time in our school district that they begin talking about the foundation of our nation (Williamsburg, Jamestown, D.C., etc.). So I figured it was a good opportunity to visit while they were out of school. A very close cousin of mine (and fellow Marine) works for the TSA and lives just south of the beltway. So we have a personal tour guide for our trips. This was especially handy with my son back in '08 as I had not yet been to D.C. yet myself. This time around, it's a Daddy/Daughter trip. My 8 year old has been talking about this trip for months now. She's excited, and now so am I. We are up and on the road at O Dark Thirty to meet my cousin once again, but this time with a surprise; his youngest daughter. She is 21 and still lives here in Ohio after he and her mother split some years ago. I am truly looking forward to this trip, even with getting up and leaving at 4 AM. I can't wait to see my daughter's discovery of things outside of her familiar surroundings and the majesty of the national monuments. To see her traverse the Smithsonian museums like her brother did and become mystified by all there is to see there. And I am excited to see the look on Jim's face when his baby girl surprises him. He's been in a rough spot personally as of late, and this will surely do him some good. I am a rather fortunate Dad to be able to share in something like this with my kids. I know a lot of fathers aren't able to do so. So you'll have to forgive me in this post gushing about this opportunity with my littlest one, while she is still little. I'll post some pics once we return.

I didn't get much done today before my nephew called and asked me to fix his XR70. The carb was gummed up, so I spent most of the afternoon taking care of him. I did get the ducting from the turbo to the airbox (plenum) heat wrapped. I did this for the area where it's in close proximity to the header because I don't want to have to make repairs down the road. I also figured out where I want my fuel pressure guage. I have it hooked up to the FPR but not mounted yet. If I have time tomorrow I'll make a mounting bracket for it. It's the same for the Boost Guage, in that I know where I want to mount it but I haven't got it done yet.

I saw this on another forum and thought it was pretty cool. https://maps.google.com/maps?t=m&brcurrent=3,0x355aa1972f683891:0x8f171aa8%20%2093a71634,1&layer=c&cbll=34.360366,132.48301&panoid%20%20=NqQ6Gywz3BY2yodcHmzPBg&cbp=13,266.31,,0,3.82&ie=U%20%20TF8&source=embed&ll=34.359364,132.483015&spn=0.003%20%2049,0.00751&z=17

forgot one important thing I did as well, I quit smoking too.

What about IT folks? I studied computing at college and university plus an 18mon internship ("residency?"), so a total of 7 years as a poor starving student. I make 6 figures now. Did I not earn that?

Insert random joke about enjoying Wall Street since the big corporations run the country.

When Doc heard what was

Since there are so many new folks on here...you wouldn't know that I'm just trolling UP. His route is fine. I'm getting so many PM's filled with hate.

I don't think I have the mental fortitude to make another scooter ride. Don't get me wrong, I loved not worrying about if I was going in too hot to a corner, I just hated the walking pace of 30mph up any hill. I tired my poor pup out on 83 I think. LOL.

that's all I know. for sale sign just says mud truck and flatbed. truck looks to be a 1/2 ton on super swampers. lifted about 6-9" with a 350? headers run through the hood. flatbed I'm guessing to be 3/4-1 ton due to size of mud truck.
