  5. Now, you can ask, Rick Hayward, I had one at there place when I came up to Ill. in 2013
  6. Last week I was on my annual Pecan Pie run. I left Vero Beach at 8am, rode all day, and made it up to Weston Georgia by 5 pm. ( long line to buy pies ) by about 6pm, I was packing up my trailer, and riding back roads to Fort Gaines Georgia for dinner before heading into the campground. Now you know you're taking a chance, riding on back roads during deer season, and the sun was starting to set. figured I'd be getting into Fort gaines by 7:45 pm. it was 73 degrees as the sun set. and as twilight hit, the temps dropped to the low 60's. I had to stop and put my yellow safety jacket on. took off again. as I rolled into coleman Georgia. out of the corner of my eye I caught movement. ( I slammed on the brakes so hard, my helmet slammed into the windshield. as I'm looking down into the headlight beams, I see a deer's rear hoof pass the headlights ) Friggin Doe almost got me. I shook it off, and kept going ( thinking I almost had venison for dinner ). I'm thankful for the new diamond blue headlamps I just put on my wing. ever bite of those pies. I see that friggin doe. Never got to camp. after getting to Fort Gaines, my battery died. I had to be towed to Dothan alabama. got a new battery. after sleeping in the parking lot when the tow truck dropped me off, at a honda shop at 11:30 alabama time. the shop opened at 8 am. I waited til 1 pm to leave.then headed home https://www.google.com/maps/dir/4820+55th+Street,+Vero+Beach,+FL+32967-2434,+USA/Weston,+Georgia/Coleman,+GA,+USA/''/''/Perry,+FL,+USA/''/4820+55th+Street,+Vero+Beach,+FL+32967-2434,+USA/@29.7886487,-85.1663724,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m55!4m54!1m5!1m1!1s0x88de5de6c2411879:0xd4235dfc7dedf467!2m2!1d-80.4363769!2d27.694519!1m5!1m1!1s0x88f2c2042263271b:0x1d9798d56387c8a9!2m2!1d-84.6149186!2d31.9759931!1m5!1m1!1s0x88f2adaefec8b7c5:0x8662acef049e3b7d!2m2!1d-84.8890905!2d31.6729444!1m5!1m1!1s0x0:0xfb89cde0e0eb739!2m2!1d-85.0494963!2d31.6057766!1m5!1m1!1s0x0:0xa4c763a4eb1cecbc!2m2!1d-85.3901435!2d31.1894975!1m10!1m1!1s0x88e954d8470515b5:0x81acebd7ef6e76e7!2m2!1d-83.5821063!2d30.1115662!3m4!1m2!1d-82.1299175!2d29.1870369!3s0x88e62b552ee247a5:0x60c24b099e97fd8!1m5!1m1!1s0x0:0x29640ddd75680c2!2m2!1d-81.031839!2d29.276697!1m5!1m1!1s0x88de5de6c2411879:0xd4235dfc7dedf467!2m2!1d-80.4363769!2d27.694519!3e0?hl=en

  18. Just think, you can have that BIG BOWL of Ice Cream, without being in pain
  19. You're not alone in your quest, I too, have parked my bike, as I'm the 80% caregiver to my father in law. alzheimer's is a *****.. although i'm not ready to part with my bike. it just hurts making the payments, knowing you haven't been on it, since your last payment. Maybe next year I'll get a little part of my life back. Dad's getting to the point, of we can't service his needs at home anymore. The Diaper changing is the worth for me. The conversation are getting shorter, and most of the time. in his mind I don't know where he is. It's, My mother in law, that will not let go. she'll fight this to the end. the need for total control, and she's losing her battle. Dad's 90 & Mom is 87. So, in between giving him shower, keeping him proper ( all the little extras ), and driving to their doctor appointments. This is my life right now. ( I so wanted to go to the International ) I was supposed to go with Gary & Rita Haydu. Like last night, I drove 165 miles from my jobsite, to be here this morning, so I can watch dad, while mom goes to an appointment for 7 am., she's back now, So, I'll have Breakfast, then head south again. My wife is on a business trip out of town, and will not be home til tonight. Timing stunk. I just love making money to:mo money::mo money:it away.

  21. This is my last post. On 4-17, is my renewal, that's not going to happen. I to, just make bike payments and don't use the bike. and I'm in the process of changing careers. I'm dropping my contractors license in august, But will be starting CDL course, in 3 weeks. I'm going back out on the road. It's were I was happiest. So I'll be selling my bike & trailer as a package. $16,000.00 2012 Honda Goldwing with 31K & a Matrix Rover Trailer w extra tires and rims. It's been a great 9 years. I've made friendships that will last a life time, and have gone to places, I had never been, because of this group. The wife retires in 3 years, and I have another 15 to go, , there is no work for me in Vero Beach, so I'm heading out for the mileage game. chow for now, see ya on the road
