  1. I learned in my years in the military and ministry, a lot of things sound good on paper but in reality they do not work out very well.

     

    What sucks here is by the time the big boss finds out how much it sucks, the business will be ruined.

     

    My wife is the worse when dealing with bad service. I realize not everything can be perfect every time you go somewhere. We went to a Sonny's over two years ago, service sucked, food sucked. We had been there many times before, but from now on she will not go there. I have snuck there many time since with good service and food.

     

    Bottom line, food could be great but if service sucks people are not coming back.

  2. Yup, I swear by it.

    If I'm not feeling too good, I take a shot of it, wait a half an hour or so, then run around the block a couple of times and it fixes me right up.

     

    Just kidding......don't wanna get anyone thinking they can drink the stuff. lol :rotfl:

    I soak a rag with it and put on my joints when they really hurt, if the pain is mild I just spray with Windex

  3. Meet a fellow venture rider today at a motorcycle gathering spot called About Bikes in Blount springs, Alabama. He was riding a 2007 RSV that he had bought new, I said to him you don't use your CB do you, he said no, why. I told him because the antennas are on the wrong sides and if you tried to use it it would crap out your CB. What's up with the antennas being installed on the wrong sides??? Also asked him if he was a member here he said no.. Told him about the site maybe he will visit. I just don't see many of these bikes when I'm out riding, so I like to talk to those that ride when I do. :Venture:

    The CB should have a protection circuit in it, if the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) gets to high, it will reduce the transmit power. if you cannot talk to anyone CB antenna on the wrong side switch.

     

    I usually ride alone or the other guy I ride with doesn't have a CB so I haven't used mine yet. So let me ask the dumb question, what side is it suppose to be on.

  4. I watched the Country Music Awards last night. What a disappointment. Most of the music sounded like wan-a-be rappers. Even showing sign with their hands. In my opinion when you try to rap country music you get yuk. There were a couple that were ok but the country I grew up with is long gone. What is your opinion?

    I rarely watch TV anymore

  5. Larry, we have GEICO too, they will only tow with 5miles of the nearest dealer, the mileage beyond that is your expense. Don't ask me how I know! Btw, we cancelled that coverage.

    Thanks for the info. I haven't needed my bike towed yet...... But I will check into that. I had state farm and it was expensive so I switched to GEICO

  7. I had a GF long time ago that worked there, at the end of the day depending on how full the ice cream bucket was she could bring it home. I would be outside with a cooler.... YUMMMMM

     

    but it seems today that the most of these stores have stopped these benefits

  8. Not so... most Bike spedo's are off by two to three MPH..Your GPS unit is the most accurate to watch.

     

    I put a GPS on my bike and my bike is at least 5 under, depending on how fast I am going. The slower I am going the more accrete the speedo is, the faster the more off it is. I think the most it gets off is 5 mph. Either way I try not to be a speeder, these little towns in S. GA they tell the cops they have to earn their salary, and boy do they. Unless in a hurry I do the speed limit, the one my speedo is doing .

  9. No thanks. I've come too close to missing too many turns sightseeing let alone trying to text. I can receive and make voice bluetooth calls. Thats as far as I want to go.

     

    One of my favorite things to do is just get on the bike and ride, come to a new paved road and say lets see where that goes. Half of the time I am semi lost. But like you, I get sightseeing and miss turns and other things. When I had a Wing I would ride out a tank of gas, then fill up and turn on navigation and head home. I recently had to buy a GPS for my bike, so I can do the same.

  10. I think we had a thread hack. I loved that Trail 70 somewhere I have a picture with my and my brothers riding that bike. I see them for sale down here. I keep thinking about buying one then I think where would I store it, and what would it look like with my fat butt on it. The other bike I would like to have for throw back reasons, is a BMW 75/5R. Probably my love for baggers. My dad had one that had bags and a wind jammer faring, we would ride that bike all over. If my dad and I where going somewhere I would ask if we could take the bike, I loved ridding on the back of it. He also had a 69 Honda 350, I think.

  11. Funny. My kids all have smart phones and are on them all the time. I do have a smart phone and FB, but FB is not on my smart phone. I use my smart phone for calls, text, GPS, I get lost a lot too, and email. sometimes I lookup some trivial piece of knowledge.

    I remember the days, back in 81 when I first joined the military and was stationed in Del Rio TX. I bought a 1980 Suzuki GS1000 and decked it out with fairings and bags, and road it all over the country without a credit card, or a cell phone, with only a few bucks in my pocket.

     

    Boy how life has changed.
