I use the canned fuel for my two stroke engines. It doesn't have all the additives in pump gas. I can leave it in the tank months at a time without eating fuel lines or clogging carbs. My saws get used once or twice a year and always fire right up.

I too finally got around to removing the tape deck. I gutted it and mounted a charger port behind the door. It has a lighter plug and two USB ports and hardwires in. I don't know how much it will be used but I guarantee it will be more than the tape deck. I did find an old Merle Haggard tape laying around and tested the tape deck once, it worked but the wife was screaming before the first song was over.

I'd check into a rental car unless there's a reason to drive his. I bet it would be cheaper than shipping and their car gets the wear and tear on it. You also get the benefit of just getting another car if it breaks down, no waiting for repair or $$$ to fix it.

My sister has a Hannigan triked GL1500 losing clutch fluid. I assume slave cylinder time. Does anyone have any experience what I'm getting into? Never messed with Honda much besides rebuilding her rear master cylinder.

Hey I saw a wing and a Harley at Don's MD. Not gonna say there weren't a few HD jokes but had a good time.

There is a reason this is the only Internet forum I'm a member of. I can't stand the attitudes on most sites. I appreciate the tone that is enforced here and hope to visit several get togethers and meet members in the next few years.

I got a 12 volt Bluetooth adapter from eBay and wired it in the fairing. It comes on with the key switch and no batteries to charge.

I have the Metzler 888s on my 86, no issues. If they'd had em to fit my 2nd gen I would've used them again. Ran a 137 mile parkway end to end in the rain at 80-85 mph with no concerns. Now on the 07 the commander II does fine for me.

Y'all stay safe over there.

:thumbsup:

I'm with you on the self employed thing Condor, but I've found my boss can also be the biggest ass around.:bang head:

When I posted this I didn't even look at the pictures beyond the first one listed. Definitely looks like she took a nap on her left side. I wonder what happened to her old clothes, did tequila make em fall off? It just blew my mind with the miles.

I agree, it's not worth the price but it blows my mind how someone buys a bike and just stores it for years. There was a car dealer here that did it with low mileage used cars, in the end he had a huge building full of low mileage old cars that nobody wanted.

Nope it's not a trailer hitch, it's for the rear rack to haul gear.

It's worth the time to see. There is a lot of information posted throughout the ship, that's what I missed mostly. The wife, our two kids, brothers wife and kids were two rooms ahead of us the whole time yelling "let's go to the ocean". I was never in the military thanks to two crushed vertebrae in a wreck, but love to check out military history anytime I'm near something. Don't consider myself a history buff because I don't retain the memories very well but like to look. I want to make it to Charlotte soon to see a carrier, never seen anything that large float.

Thankful for no major injuries. Good luck for fast healing.

We've done LuLu's, not impressed, more of a tourist trap. The air museum at Ft Walton is cool too, I stopped there last year and got to talk to a retired General that was running it. Heard some really cool stuff. They have the 1st C130 ever built sitting there and it's still airworthy. Took this pic there. That was the maiden voyage for my then new to me 07.

We've gone thru the museum and watched the angels a few years ago. Very cool. Went to the Alabama but want to go again with more time.

The wife is more of a seafood nut than me so I try to make sure and find her a good place when we can. I do tear up some crab legs though. Maybe you can find some mountain oysters in GA.

Thanks. Family wants some beach time, me not so much. Depending on weather I may take the bike also, if so I'll probably run over to Mobile one day to see the USS Alabama again. Last time I was there everybody with me was in a hurry to get to Gulf Shores and I didn't get to take much time touring it.

Glad you're still here to talk about it.

Somewhere around the 28th or 29th I will be heading south to Orange Beach Al. for a few days, probably return on the 4th of Oct. We will most likely run through Nashville on 65 heading that way. Would like to meet members in that area and maybe grab a bite somewhere. A BIG seafood buffet or similar would be great if anybody can recommend one. We will probably hit Dewey's at Ft Walton beach one night and maybe lambert's at Foley once.

The thing I can't figure out is Eileen's Spyder got traded for Eileen's Slingshot that got traded for the SVTC that's getting set up for Don's preferences. That would never work at my house. :happy65:

That'd be great thanks. Been kicking around the idea of building a custom one.
