Bob why can't the theme for next year be (( GREAT TIME)) because that is what every one has.

I have done both. The Sky Line Drive several times. If you plan on doing it, It will be an all day ride. The SLD is 108 miles and a 35 MPH speed limit. Great ride but a slow one.

LOL! I stopped OK rather sudden.

A trip to the dentist is a piece of cake. Try loosing 13 teeth and a broken Jaw to a 55 Chevy bumper. Now that smarts.

I still think when they made the deal with Japan in 35 is what started there motorcycle industry. And how does the wheel go round.

I have not been able to up load any pic unless I go through Photobucket first.

Welcome home and thanks for your service. Take your time with the bikes

Sho look on page two at this thread. 02 all done. this should give you some ideas.

Those covers were made by Yamaha as an accessory. They are very hard to find now and if you do expect to pay dearly for them.

Well here is mine. I have changed a few things since this pic but mostly it is the same. LED lights all over it, seven color with fourteen function. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh64/slowrollwv/001-1.jpg

The 98 Royals have 28 mm carbs and smaller cams and different air boxes. the new bikes have 32mm carbs bigger cams and bigger air boxes which give it more HP. Either one will handle two up riding at high way speeds. And one more thing WELCOME to the club.

Yep I hit the choke for a second or two and am off and running.

Sounds like you made a great deal. Welcome to the site.

Well I have had my bike for 11 years and my Mustang convertible for 2 years. I have found it as easy and fun to take either one on a trip or just around town. But the town that I live in or close to is very small so I usually take the long way around.

Barry I am glad to hear that all down there are fine and look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

That is not a hard choice for me as I only have an old $100.00 Remington. :rotfl:

Congrats Bill enjoy the retirement and the truck.

I haven't been on a horse in over 43 years but if you can talk Jay into the sporting clays I will bring my 1100 and a few boxes of shells.

Sorry to hear of his passing.

I have seen pics of his bike and all I can say is WOW.

Most automotive paint stores cam mix any color you want and put in spray can for you.

You may be right about that but a lot of states have emission inspections. If they start doing motorcycles the Harleys with the kits won't be on the road.

I saw this on another forum. I do not know how true it is. H-D CEASES SALES OF PERFORMANCE DEVICES THAT ADD TO AIR POLLUTION Without conceding, Harley-Davidson will pay $15 million in fines and penalties to settle a federal lawsuit brought by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) accusing the American motorcycle-maker of selling illegal performance devices that increase pollution. Under terms of the settlement on Thursday, August 19, 2016 Harley is to stop selling its "Screamin' Eagle" Pro Super Tuners by August 23, and to buy back and destroy all such tuners in stock at its dealerships. H-D must also deny warranty claims if owners continue to use the "illegal devices." The consent decree resolves government allegations that Harley-Davidson sold roughly 340,000 "super tuners" since 2008 that, once installed, cause motorcycles to emit higher amounts of certain air pollutants than what the Milwaukee-based manufacturer certified to the EPA. According to the EPA, the modified settings increase power and performance, but also increase the motorcycles’ emissions of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Harley did not admit liability, and said in a statement it disagrees with the government's position arguing that the devices were designed and sold to be used in "competition only." The Motor Company said the settlement represents "a good faith compromise with the EPA on areas of law we interpret differently, particularly EPA's assertion that it is illegal for anyone to modify a certified vehicle even if it will be used solely for off-road/closed-course competition." An EPA spokesman said that the vast majority of these tuners were used on public roads, and the sale of such "defeat devices" violates the federal Clean Air Act. Harley was also accused of selling more than 12,600 motorcycles that were not covered by an EPA certification that ensures a vehicle meets federal clean air standards. "Given Harley-Davidson’s prominence in the industry, this is a very significant step toward our goal of stopping the sale of illegal after-market defeat devices that cause harmful pollution on our roads and in our communities," said John Cruden, head of the Justice Department's environmental and natural resources division. The EPA has been investigating after-market part emission issues for more than five years. In 2012, Suzuki Motor Corp paid an $885,000 fine to EPA for selling 25,458 ATVs and dirt bikes because they were built to allow for the installation of an after-market part that increased horsepower and emissions.

I put a new tank bib on from Ace High Leather. Looks Great. Then road to work and took the long way home.

That is exactly the kind of place I want to live. Shame I can't hit the lottery.
