    Dream Realized

    Matt - congratulations on what was a long and frustrating period of time with the engine problems and all. Sooooo, where are you going to spend the summer with that plane, Area 51? It was great watching you take off and even better watching you bring it safely back to the hangar. Again...

    Another Harley guy trying to be normal!!

    Don't let Smitty **** you. Notice the Missouri license plate. That used to be an Orange KTM that he "slightly" modified to fit his new persona a little better. :yahoo:

    How safe would you guys feel without your guns?

    Got to disagree with you here Skip old buddy. I have some very accurate specialized handguns. Some are bolt action 223 and larger calibers and out to 350+ yds prairie dogs are history. I shot a coyote off hand with one of my S & W 44 mags at 100 measured yards. Pole axed that sucker, never even...

    How safe would you guys feel without your guns?

    The fact that as an individual you have never needed one doesn't mean much. How many of you have had your house burn down? So there is no need for a fire department? I have way more than a few and would need at least a 5 minute warning to get one ready for an intruder and don't feel the need for...

    Yesterday was a VERY good day to be retired...

    Yeah, should have started with "Once upon a time" and ended with "They all lived happily ever after." Except for the ******** of course. Hell Skip, with the ice you should be studding your tires and heading out for a ride. See you next spring. Chester

    Trailer?

    What are you going to tow it with, the Jeep? I have used my 5x10 trailer with my ATV behind my V-8 Bronco and it pulls it like its not back there but it clobbers the fuel economy. I used to have a 3/4 ton 4 wd Ford pickup back in the 70's and it had a 4.10 rear end but pulling two horses in a...

    Ten year ban for pulling a wheelie

    A stiff penalty is fine but what is the penalty in FL for DWI I wonder, which of course should be equal to or greater than the MC penalty. Chester

    Things we learn from the movies.

    Someone on foot being chased by a car with trees all around heads for the nearest road so they can outrun the car. Anyone being chased by a dog, wolf, whatever always has the race go on forever. I'm no Carl Lewis but my dogs have been a hundred yards away or so and I run from them and they...

    Clovis PD dumps their Harleys

    Not a bike but one of our small local 35 mph residentiaL communities surrounded by small 35 mph residential communities here in Kansas City just got a 150 mph Hemi Charger. Little bit of overkill. Makes sense for a freeway community but none close by for them.

    How The Fight Started!

    A guy that I used to work with was 6' 5" and about 250#'s and went to the gym a lot. Some guy got into a pissing contest with him in their cars and he stopped and got out and Tom also gets out puts one hand around his neck shoving him up against the car and the other guy goes, "uh, I think I...

    Route 66 group travel - need help !

    Don't know of anything special about Rte 66 but just did a Google search "Route 66 map" and it has quite a few things of interest. One of them which seems to have promise is the below link. Good luck, Chester https://www.historic66.com/

    Life after a BMW

    A neighbor of mine just got rid of his GS1150 because of a new child coming and this is what he got. The green one in the middle on the top banner. I haven't had a chance to talk to him about it yet but it is licensed as a Motorcyle, at least here in Kansas. It has a single front wheel and two...

    How Far on Reserve

    What you need to know is how much fuel is left when you get to the reserve. Based upon my calculations I hit reserve right about 5.2 gallons. If I have gone 200 miles at that time or 240 miles I know that I have used about 5.2 gals. and have about 1.4 left but use 1 gal to be safe. I calculate...

    Quick Property Tax Question

    You really need to talk to your Tax Assessor. Other states rules may be the same but quite probably will be different. It is not like Federal income tax which are a constant state to state. If you call them, you could do it anonymously or have a CPA, Attorney, or a good buddy call them so that...

    I was a KTM factory rider for a day!!!

    After Smitty's report, it sounds pretty impressive. All it needs is s throttle lock and a comfortable seat and your good to go. May have to shuck a few bikes next spring to make room for the KTM. Now, which one, the Adventurer or one of the SuperMotos? I have an 01 LC4 640 that would be a good...

    EOM-08

    I came farther than most so no matter where the EOM is going to be it is going to be far and I have to agree, the distance of getting there is part of the adventure. I was fortunate to get to ride with Petey, St. Louis FJR, ZZZIP, and Smitty and part way home with WheatonFJR. That in itself made...

    Vandals

    Down by my farm, South of Kansas City there have been several new 4 wheel drive tractors set on fire in the field. Sugar in the fuel tank of a combine, corn fields about ready to be harvested had 4 wheel drives go through them destroying the corn, and some other acts. The locals are carrying...
