@NinjaDoc I’d love to meet up but I’m down to just 1 bike now and it’s an 03 Goldwing. Do quite a bit of 2up riding with my wife nowadays. I’m afraid I’d be a bit slow. 8:30 is real early for me. It’s 3hrs+ for me. Speed safely buddy. Hope all is well for you.  

You can ride in the Goldwing section with me. This is shaping up to be two groups. One Mach Retard group and one for the rest of us.

Awesome, Guess I won't have to worry about the weather anymore  

You will find something else to worry about.

I am in.

Solo trips are certainly the bomb. Been a long time since I have done one.

If you make it as far as Lake Placid, you need to ride the bobsleds.

I brought a broken bike back from Canada in a U-Haul once. It is not fun, you feel alone...lost...hopeless. It really sucks until you get across the river.

So did it taste like it sounds? Is that what you drive out of the country to get your beavertails frosted with?

I really don't know what the real thing tastes like so I can't compare it really.

At one point the storm was headed straight outta Compton.

WTF is wrong with California. Few months ago they were bitching about not having enough water. Now it is too much.

Asshats.

I would get the FJR if someone would ride on the back with me. 

I will.

Look, the FJR is a great long distance bike that eats curvy roads for lunch. Just watch which gen you get so younger the abs and fancy suspension. If I was solo I would probably be on one....if they still made them.

What do you want this next bike to do?

I’m not that old yet

That's what my wife said when we were your age. She now admits she was wrong.

Ok, got lots of miles on it now. It is awesome. F' that factory seat. Had to raise the passenger foot pegs, there is a really slick bracket available for that. While I am thrilled I think the wife is more thrilled. Backrest is very comfy she says and the giant arm rests are her favorite part.

It also looks wonderful, it adds an elegance to the bike. Driver backrest just pops out of you don't want it.

Only downside is it does not use the factory controls for the heated seat, it has its own buttons on the side.

You would be fine, Sasquatch have tiny dicks.

Speaking of, I am heavily considering buying my friends 16 Fjr. What are the pros and cons of that unit?

Con. It's not a Goldwing.

Seeing some Defense on the Browns.

Yea, we are sponsoring them too. Probably the only defense you will see all season from them.

Based on the pics, I would say it will be closed for awhile.

If you go to Vegas for a hacker convention with two laptops, chargers, cables, keyboard, mouse, USB hub and an electric razor in your checked baggage the TSA is going to take a look.

I am ok with that.

So in the situation money is the problem, you really need to plug it in 

She doesn't have 400 dollars because she is retired. I still work, the lack of money was a joke about her not working and I do. We can afford a new tire, and it is already on the rim.

OK... have her give you $400 and then plug the tire. What's the problem? 

She doesn't have 400 dollars. Well, she can get it but it was my money in the first place.

Plug it. You have TPMS. 

Wife says no.

Didn't buy the hazard protection plan?

Dang it, I knew I forgot something.

Put on brand new tires before the epic trip. Sunday was the first day I road after getting back.

TPMS lit up, nail in the rear tire.

No, I am not plugging it.
