Oh shit! I haven't been gone two weeks and they're calling me to come back as a consultant. Does anybody know how much it should cost to hire a PLC Controls Engineer with 45 years experience to teach training classes to newbs?

Hopefully, I'll be wearing SMALLER size clothes soon. I have to lose the weight I put on during this road trip. By bike is slow enough without having to haul my fatter ass around. Looking forward to meeting up with you when I'm back on the road, Brian.

If I'd known you were in town, I'd have invited you over to my hotel for a bourbon or four. Thanks for letting me know you were there... dick. 😉

Last Friday was my last day of employment. After the weekend, I've now spent 2 days as an official retiree and I think I'm going to like it. I bumped the date ahead by 7 weeks from my original plan because my (now former) employer had put me on the road in Holland, MI for 19 weeks since early March with no end in sight. After 80 nights in a hotel, the manager gave me a gift bag and a card signed by all the staff. That's how you can tell you've been on the road too long. I have 2 cars that have been asking for attention - just routine maintenance. And the yard is a mess - I was able to keep it mowed, but nothing else. THEN I can get back to finishing my bike engine swap and hopefully start riding again for the fall season. Hope to meet you guys on the road!

Did somebody here buy it? I like to keep track of the fellow Bandits in the area.

If you don't need your centerstand when you're away from home, take it off. It's not like you need to lift the rear to lube the chain on a wing! I don't ride a wing, but my centerstand sits in the corner of the garage when not in use. It takes 2 minutes to put it on the bike finger tight when I need to get the rear wheel off the ground.
