To each their own, myself never got into it. Tried it but never really liked it. Beer now that was another story.

Read last night HP no longer selling Win8 on computers, going back to Win7. Also Microsoft rushing to get Win9 on the shelves. Forgot where I saw it.

I got some of them overalls, use them to snow blow most of the time. bought them in 06' in Cinncy, OH. I rode there one year in Oct., not bad going there, but turned to 20's and 30's for ride back to MA., got them and 2 prs. gloves and did the ride home in the coolest 800 miles ever did.

http://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=20082 I've never heard of this, that Philips screws on metric bikes are really JIS type screws, and that's why they strip easy. Has anyone heard of this before, not me and I've been horsing around with them since early 70's. Stripped many of them since then. JIS is Japanese Industry Standard

Like Larry I too had a messed up year, but that is gone now. Hope all of you a happy new year and hope to see all of my VR friends and some new ones over the course of the year.

PM sent, I'll take one.

Got me one too, keeping the venture too.

Someone mentioned deer, that's one thing I saw plenty of in my 2 years of living in texas, and jack rabbits. They were all over the place, a couple of us would go out in the desert with 22's and we could see them all over the place.

when I split wood I used one of these, worked quite good. My son has it now and still uses it. I bought it in the 70's and still got it in the family. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Truper12-Pound-Monster-Splitting-Maul-27-Steel-Handle-Wood-Splitting-Axe-NEW-/141126092442?pt=US_Knives_Tools&hash=item20dbc5469a

Sportier looking compared to my first car, '58 chevy. Wish I still had it thought.

How about a years membership for AAA [triple A ] a road side service, a national type club.

Not a good feeling when you don't feel good, went thur it over the spring and summer this year myself. Needed a new pacemaker to replace the one I had for 15 years. After 3 operations it finally got replaced, quit smoking 8 mos. now , now got to exercise some and I'll be getting better yet. Makes one respect those drs. and nurses and the job they do. good luck

Larry, if you want to be sneaky, don't tell folks how good your hearing improved, then you'll be one up on them as to what they're saying.

I use a pair of flannel overalls with zippers down both legs and front that go over my shirt and pants, got them at Walmart for maybe $30 well worth the money. Them and a heavy coat and I'm set to go.

3 or 4 years ago I saw this Goldwing at Americade that a major trike builder had a kit to turn a Goldwing into a 4 wheeler. Can't remember the builder's name.

I've spent some time hanging around a body shop over the years, its a science on painting now, with paints, materials used in car bodies now, they have so much needed to take into account as to what is used, when its done, the temps out side at that time, is it raining out, and more. All that stuff needs to be addressed when painting a car now a days.

one clean machine for sure.

Hope you do good, hurting back is not a easy thing to live with.

I don't care for the new site either, the other way was fine.

Venture sighting, saw a purple / silver one with LA. plates at jazz + bar-b-que festival in the big easy yesterday. great time people watching and music listening to be had by all, I assume.

Down here with 4 other couples from my army days, I may have to tint my hair orange, to fit in with the locals. I don't know what I'll see around the next corner, they are a strange lot. Place is kinda different for sure, the cemeteries are something to see with all the tombs and stone work they did at the graves. Boy if I still drank the place is a place to come to, 3 in the afternoon and people are smashed already. Maybe blue hair would look better with the new trike, a few drinks and it could happen, who knows. Also a food lovers paradise for sure.

Before anyone buys one, look at the new '14's, there have been a number of improvements made to fix many of the short comings they have. read it some where.
