It's always been the case, just didn't realize there were so many that actually put their tongue to glass

It just occurred to me why all the windows at work are always wet.....yeah.....retardism.com runs rampant in this place

It's south of Blairsville GA. Rt180/Rt19

My wife @snot has dry eye issues and she uses a gel type eye moisturizer at night, but said it blurs her vision -- so she uses a liquid moisturizer during the day. Not sure what kind she uses, but I believe it's been fairly effective when she's riding

Uhaul rents trailers for those with a tow vehicle, and work vans for those that don't

Welcome to the forum

Maybe they'll dig the experience and sign up. Be good to see ya again too. Fingers crossed for Saturday

Completely understandable. And well worth skipping the ride for. The new house looks NICE - congrats, brotorcycle! No problem at all. Looking forward to shakin hands with some new riders. Are they on the forum?

No fall ride this year man. Epic Ride is now an annual gig. We can do a Dayton route or NKY run though

Yes sir. Should be there by 7:15ish and then heading out of Comp at 8am. Sucks you wont make the ride again

^^This^^ Hopefully we wont need them for rain at all, just to keep warm in the morning

Purely for entertainment value, I still plan to beat your knuckles to shit with my face

Considering your locale, I'd try these 2 fellas here...still a bit of a drive, but solid bubbys that could possibly fix you up @CrazySkullCrusher @Isaac's Papa

Ben, I'll buy your dinner if you nab some donuts to throw at Jim on the ride.

If someone wants it all, I'm willing to go $500 shipped Edit - parts are starting to sell, but I'm open to negotiate cash offers

LOL, think he meant to quote you but overwrote your message with his

However you want to do it man. Trailering definitely helps the trip back home suck a lot less. Hopefully the weather forecast changes and we have an awesome ride.

That's some impressive luggage. Would have never believed a picnic table and fire ring could've fit in those

Still got almost a week to make a final decision

I'm not doing much this weekend. During the evenings this week I got my gps mount installed and mounted/balanced new Angel GTs on my Sprint, finished mount/balance new Rosso 2s on the wife's spare rims for the Gap trip, and did a tune up on my Father's Tahoe. So this weekend is vegetation time and visit with some family.

Crafty idea though. Lightweight yet stout enough to tote some weight

Looks like pvc with an aerosol overhaul to me

You shouldn't need framework if there are D-rings or strapping points on the bags. A couple of short cinch straps under the tail to draw the bags towards one another should be plenty to keep them in place.

My StepDad rode a Honda Dream 305 in the 60s, but he never had a bike while I was growing up until he gave me a little XR75 when I turned 11. He bought himself a Trail70 to putt around the woods on. We had a blast camping, riding, and hunting together when we had those little bikes. A few years later he gave up riding and sold off both bikes to upgrade me to a CR125 that I got into all kinds of trouble on. He never did ride again and died young back in '99, but thanks to him winning the battles against my Mom's wishes, I got a fairly early start on my motorcycle fetish and continued to pursue my love of it ever since. My Father has ridden his whole life, and took me for rides when I was a teen and visited him in Florida. Since he's moved back to Ohio a few years ago, we've taken a couple short rides together, but no long days now that he's retired and has bad shoulders. Anymore his saddle time is mostly straight to a local destination and back on his triked Wing. So if it weren't for my StepDad's gifted dirtbikes, and my Father's biker dna....I'd probably be one of those "car guys". I tried influencing my daughter to get into motorcycles when she was young, but she never really took interest in it. She did enjoy a few rides around the neighborhood when she was 4 or 5 on the back of my YZF and her grandpa's Wing though. I'm a believer in raising kids on/around bikes so they can make up their own minds whether they like 'em or not, but in my opinion if they never get the opportunity to try it - you're doing wrong by the kid.

Nice scheme. Maybe just do the rear wheel orange? Or leave it be? Either way, the bike looks trick
