  1. Afghanistan has some of the largest deposits of lithium in the world ( battery Power ) I can’t think of anything that he has actually kept his promise on except Obama Care and look how well that has worked out. When Hilary runs she will promise paid menstrual cycle leave for all working woman.
  2. I’ve got over 15000 on my bike and have never checked mileage but according to the book it gets 42mpg and holds 5 gal but it could be less I do have some extra performance stuff added to the bike.
  3. Im only good for about 200 tops I can bring a fuel can if needed it only hold a quart but it would help
  4. Its less then 5 min from my work I might run some of it on my lunch break How are the cops during the week
  5. My wife told me if I was a real Iron horsemen all I would need to take are my boots jeans and a tee shirt. That may have been alright 40 years ago but the only thing Im doing now is not shaving for the whole trip. Its time to figure out what I will realy need to take.
  6. I bought a cup holder also but I think I will go with The rock Star in the camelpack and freeze it
  7. Yes I did I just redid a new one but you will have to listen to my front spinners and my squeaky clutch that I greased last night. The video starts after the first turn in the park and runs 10 min I will load it on YouTube before I go to bed the 10 min video will take 6.6 hours to load if there is a faster way let me know. I had a blast on the ride if you do this again I would like to go You can only be as good as the people you ride with and I need to step it up a few knocks
  8. Grab some of this stuff if you get a chance you can get it at wallgreens http://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/172067/220.jpg
  9. You tube just sent me a message that my video has a copy right violation and they deleted it How can it have a violation if I made it. Will try again later.
  10. No problem you look real good in all the turns. I will have to load the video later youtube says 66 min to up load a 2 min vid Thanks everyone I had a great time
  11. I got some good video I will put some of it up once I figure out how to cut it down from 2 hours to about 6 min of it.
  12. I will be there look for the guy dressed like a pirate.
  13. To this day nothing sounds better to me then a big Z bike with a 4 into 1 running hard thru the gears.
  14. I always change mine after 3000 and always before 4000 So I will do mine before we leave and soon after we get back
  15. I ordered 2 64 gig micro sd cards and 2 new batteries and a charger for my go pro and will loading about 25 hours of music to my GPS I put all my leather bags on the bike yesterday to make sure I would not get any last minute surprises. I’m going to mount the camera on a pole about 2 feet over my head and behind me so I can turn it forward or backward and side to side for a different view Also going to grab a six pack of Rock Star for the ride out.
  16. Actually there is a reason there is only a Stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell.
  17. “Haters are confused admirers who can’t understand why everybody else likes you” ― Paulo Coelho
  18. Heard and experienced rider bashing some new ones and it got me to thinking. After 45 years in the saddle, if I was sitting on a barstool next to you here is what I would tell you: 1. Glad you took up riding! Changed my life way back when and hope you get a passion for it too. 2. Forget the image thing. Popular culture is kind of like music you know. From swing to twist to disco to pop to whatever the hell you kids do these days! A rider in Boot Hill Saloon on Main Street in 1975 would probably be incarcerated pretty quickly today. In the old days, if you rode a Harley in the wrong part of town, you were an automatic hoodlum. Now most Harley customers probably live in better sections of towns to be able to afford them. 3. Get great gear that lasts. It will be cheaper and more functional in the long run. A great leather jacket that will last you 40 years is worth $600. If it serves a purpose, wear it. If it doesn't, its extra gear to carry. 4. Its ok to be an idiot. We've all been there. Just learn to be safe. If you want to sit at a stop light and blip your throttle, you'll get over it eventually. Of course, these days you might get a ticket. 5. It’s not a horsepower competition. Unless you've really been taught, your ability will never come close to matching a newer bikes capability. So don't waste your money on "mods" unless something really bugs you. 6. Last, go on road trips. Longer the better. I don't mean on a trailer. Become a motorcycle enthusiast. The road is really what being a biker is about. New places, new roads, new friends. Won’t matter if they ride Bmw, Honda or Harley. People who ride for the road appreciate motorcycles regardless of the brand and will strike up friendships and share experiences.
