I don't have time to do a lot of research right now. Gary needs a new helmet for our trip. Is this a good deal? $108.00 Thanks for your opinion!

jokes and humor section, but thought you might enjoy this as much as I did!! Why Men Can Pee Standing Up God was just about done creating humans, but he had two parts left over. He couldn't decide how to split them between Adam and Eve so He thought He might just as well ask them. He told them one of the things He had left was a thing that would allow the owner to pee while standing up. "It's a very handy thing." God told them, " and I was wondering if either one of you had a preference for it." Well, Adam jumped up and down and begged, "Oh, please give that to me! I'd love to be able to do that! It seems like just the sort of thing a man should have. Please! Pleeease!! Give it to me!" On and on he went like an excited little boy. Eve just smiled and told God that if Adam really wanted it so badly, he could have it. So God gave Adam the thing that allowed him to pee standing up. Adam was so excited he just started whizzing all over the place-first on the side of a rock, then he wrote his name in the sand, and then he tried to see if he could hit a stump ten fee away-laughing with delight all the while. God and Eve watched him with amusement and then God sait to Eve, "Well, I guess you're kind of stuck with the last thing I have left." "What's it called?" asked Eve. "Brains." said God! :crackup:

Do you see the drool running down my chin?

Looked on the atlas, found all the roads except hwy 3. Can you give me an idea where it's at?
-
You don't know how lucky you are to have such amazing sites!! I can't wait to see them!! All we have here is flat land full of corn and bean fields. I count my blessings that the Mississippi is only a couple hours away. No mountains by any means, but lots of twisty hills and all black top back roads!
-
You don't know how much I appreciate all of your advice on roads to take. This is a big trip for us. We've never been gone from home this long (12 days!) and going to Banff is on my bucket list. I want to make sure we ride the best roads and your help will make this trip all the better!! We really like back roads (just don't want to see any bears!!) and try to stay off 4 lanes as much as possible. thanks again.....

I took your advice when we were looking at tenting it and got information for Canmore. It showed Bow Valley campgrounds. Looks like there are 3 of them. I haven't looked up motels or b & b's there yet. Our route is as follows: 1st day: Belle Fourche South Dakota 2nd day: Butte Montana 3rd day: Big Fork Montana 4th day: Glacier Ntl park Coming up the Hwy 93 into Alberta on west side of Rocky Mts. to Golden, then over to Lake Louise, Banff, Canmore and spend a couple days riding around the area. On the way home, we will probably take Hwy 40 south to Longview, hit 22 going South till we are south of Calgary a ways then jump on Hwy 2, to start heading home. via Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota then Iowa. I don't have a map of Alberta, just the atlas, is HWy 93 a scenic drive?

I did find a B & B in Banff for $75.00 so in US it should be around $60.00. Didn't think that was to bad. We aren't into touristy stuff. Just want to see the mountains and have a bed to sleep in. Thanks for the info!!

Need your help again....hubby and I are planning on 12 day bike trip up to Glacier then on to Banff. Yesterday, I emailed a B & B about staying in Banff on July 15th and 16th. I'm able to book rooms, but was told that it's right during Calgary Stampede. Looked it up on their website and it looks like the dates are July 3-12th for the Stampede. Just wondering if we are crazy coming up there as we are not big crowd people. I know July and August are busy tourist times anyway for the Banff area....will it be nuts up there still on the 15th and 16th? Thanks for any help!

I've been wondering the same thing........ hopefully he'll respond so we know everythings ok.

I'm with Yama Mamma on this one. I could just feel the blood start to boil!!! You will regret it the rest of your life if you give in on this one. Regret will lead to anger and it will get worse from there. Last year when we bought the Venture, everyone tried to tell me to keep our VStar 1100 and trade in my Virago. People thought I was nuts, but you know what...I kept my ground and I haven't regretted it a bit. Yes, the VStar was a great bike...but my Virago is what feels comfortable to me and she's like my baby. I also think it's wrong that some of these posts are telling you to buy a Harley bigger than a Sportser. Sorry....wrong answer. The lady likes what she rides. PLEASE DON'T COW DOWN TO ANYONE. IT'S YOUR BIKE AND YOU LOVE IT. To he## with what your husband or anyone else thinks. Sorry for venting, but I'm so mad I'm just shaking. And I'm sorry that your husband even would say such a thing. Marriage is give and take and after 29 yrs of it I had to do a lot of giving myself, but I would never, never give up MY bike.

I'm unable to pull up that website. Am I doing something wrong?
-
Go for it! But just remember......Saturday practices are going to take out riding time!! How will the wife feel about that? -
Well, no wonder I had a hard time searching yesterday. Apparently I just make up names for different bike parts!! Ok, so I didn't realize they would be so pricey...and frugal me....has anyone ever custom or for lack of better word home made them? The hubby is very, very talented at custom making things and just wondered if it was something he could come up with?
-
Well, here's a dumb question....are they usually called "lowers" instead of wind deflectors?
-
Thanks Bryan!! Appreciate the help!

I belong to the Virago website, but it's not as user friendly for me. I know there are Virago owners on this website....so here's my question. I have a 95 1100 Virago. I am wondering if there are any wind deflectors to put on it. I've tried doing searches but haven't seen anything. Everytime I ride, I have to hold my left hand, palm down, by the gas tank to deflect the wind. The crazy thing is it's only the left side. Don't know if they make them for Virago's or not. Anyone have any knowedge?
