I think that the Boss Hoss is a bit much for a bike. Some people have more money than sense though. That's all I'm going to say...gotta go mow now.

Don't think I haven't thought about that. Then when all the weeds are gone, you have a BBQ.

Anybody who shows up today had best be familiar with the technical workings of a weed eater.

Sound like good people. Wish they could have made it but I understand about the short notice.

I wish I still had my Laser. I could do some nice things with those pads and it wouldn't take long.

Gonna need a mirror for you too.

Just got of the phone with Eileen. She called the caterer to order food for Saturday at Maintenance Day. We were shocked that the prices had gone up 40% from two years ago but still the best deal around. As always a "Donation" can will be out for those who wish to help with the costs. To give you an idea, the cost per person for just the food is $8.22 per person. That does not include water, soft drinks, buns and etc. that we buy elsewhere. Again, if you are going through hard times and simply can't afford to donate, we completely understand and you are still more than welcome to enjoy the lunch. If you can help, it is much appreciated. Thanks

The cd player was an optional add on. You can just unplug it and leave the cable there or completely remove it by splitting the fairing and unplugging it. As for the holes, if you are lucky whoever did the install drilled some standard size holes and you should be able to just pick up some rubber plugs at an automotive parts store or even most hardware stores. Same thing with the handlebar controls. They simply plug into a socket inside the fairing. Just unplug it and it will come right off. The CB is actually located under the tour pack and again. The cable runs from it to again, inside the fairing and simply plugs in. All of what you want to do is very simple. I don't know of any available replacement covers for the speaker grills. The way they are made though, I think it would be fairly easy to fill the slots with some type of liquid plastic and then sand them smooth and repaint them.

I got an email from a member this morning letting me know that Rick Butler was in a motorcycle accident. I thought he was going to post here but since he hasn't yet, I thought I would let you all know. Rick was riding his RSV at track days I believe at the Texas Motor Speedway. He has a track bike that he typically rides there but this was a special street bike event. I spoke to him on the phone after learning of the accident. He was actually still in the hospital when we spoke but was getting ready to go home. He doesn't remember exactly what happened but only that he ended up high siding and going down. Said he wasn't going very fast when it happened but a combination of things caused some pretty bad injuries. He broke both collarbones and I think 3 ribs. The bike is repairable and he will get it fixed up when he feels like doing it. He is going to be fine. He wanted me to let you all know though that it will be a few weeks before he can do any seat mods. He asked that you please contact him before sending him your seats. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

First of all, Rick is still in business. He has his ad in the classifieds under Member Vendors. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/photopost/showproduct.php?product=21&title=butt-butler-seat-mod&cat=16 He does great work. I had him do my Road Glide seat over the winter and am looking forward to trying it on some long rides. Now the bad news. I just learned this morning that Rick was in a motorcycle accident. He is OK but is going to be out of commission for a few weeks. I spoke to him on the phone earlier today and he was still in the hospital but was getting ready to head home later today. He broke both collarbones and 3 ribs.

Awww....there it is. Didn't scroll down far enough. Yes....the perfect bike.

LOL...you may have nailed it. No mention of a cassette player though.

I take it all back...oh the horror....to this day clowns scare me. For those of you who weren't around, here are a couple of pictures from that nightmare. Even my poor bike suffered.

Hey...I resent that. I am NOT lop eared.

Just ask me when you get here Puc, I'll point them out to you. I may even have a mirror you can look at.

I have one of those too. Heck, I may even add it to the door prizes. )

I want to offer my public thanks to Ragtop for helping spread the word about selling Eddie's Road Glide. Some of you noticed that I had posted an ad for it here in our classifieds and also some other places. Jay told his neighbor about it and the bike is now sold. I know that it's at least one thing off Kelly's plate. I have to say though, I am really going to miss Eddie at Maintenance Day. He was my Harley Support Group. Now I have to deal with all your verbal abuse all alone. It's not fair I tell you.

I've heard others mention that over the years but have never seen a solution. I think that they all pretty much do it. I don't even remember but I think that they get very quite but can still be heard a little.

Sandusky is probably about 40 minutes. Not too far at all.

Thank you Nancy. Would have rather you had delivered them personally but I understand.

Uh...I have no recollection of that event.

They work fine with the stock jetting. No changes needed at all.

Oberlin Inn has been pretty good to us in the past. The problem this year is that they are under major construction and I don't think have many rooms open.

I gave it to Motiv but he lives just down the road and is going to bring it.
