    I've 3 days paid time off to use up, so I'm taking today, Friday and New years Eve off. I generally don't work holidays, nor do I get paid for them. And only one week vacation to boot, but I can't complain. I can take time off without pay whenever I want, (even on short notice) and make a decent buck.

    They're in 2 sheds and one garage, and some of them are covered and pretty well buried. Pics would be a problem, but all the running bikes have had pics posted on this site at one time or another.

    You can theme it however you like, but I think most folks are just interested in a get together. Some food, music, a fire, and maybe a little hair of the dog is always nice. I'm planning on coming, but am neutral to what the particulars are. See ya there !

    Uncle DJ is a nickname that a good friend gave me about 30 years ago that stuck. He claims the DJ stands for "Duking John" after a fist fight I was in, back when I was young and dumb. It kinda fits though, with my first two initials being JD, and I take good care of my friends......kinda like I was their uncle. It's also a shortened version of my Yahoo name, uncledjm14, which is my nickname, and favorite rifle.

    Been a few years. Still have the equipment in the attic. I had pretty good luck with RCBS. If you do a lot of shooting, reloading is a great hobby. Saves you a lot of money, and you learn a lot about ballistics. I hear lead's getting pretty expensive though. The only advice I'd offer is to avoid loading everything to the max all the time. It's harder on the gun, shortens the life of the brass, and if you're loading pistol rounds, running lead bullets (no jacket) faster than 1000fps will lead up the barrel. I enjoyed shooting low/mid power rounds in my 44 mag. Shooting max loads in that beast is downright uncomfortable. Good luck, and good shooting!

    It'd be cool if the po po had one of those EMP devices that could kill a bunch of the bikes at once. I'd love it.

    WOW !!! What a great post. Thanks for all you do. I / we DO appreciate it. Happy Thanksgiving to all, and like Don said,...we should take some time today to reflect on what we have to be thankful for.

    I've had 4 Yammy's in my life. A early 70s MX90 (junk) a late 70s TT500 (awesome hill climber) and now my 87 and 06 Ventures. As much as I love my last 3 Yammy's, it's hard to put down a Honda. I've had a bunch of Hondas, and I liked them all, although every Honda I've ever owned has been pretty cold blooded. (sometimes hard to start, and had to warm up before they'd run right) No doubt, Honda deserves a lotta respect.

    You're a true asset to this site, and seem a pretty decent fellow. Best wishes for a complete recovery. Prayers and good Karma being sent your way. Take care.

    Stopped by our cabin near Sinnemahoning PA on our way up to the WNY Mini Rally. Some of my family was there for the weekend, and my niece took a pic of Dad & I just before we continued on to the Rally. Dad at 91 (now 92) and I, the youngest of 6 at 51, (soon to be 52). Cabin in the background, and nieces fiance' (Elliott) with his back to the camera, looking up at the mountain behind the cabin. I thought it was a nice pic, so I figgered I oughta post it.

    I've heard that in those situations, it's best to wear loose fitting underwear. Hope this helps:backinmyday:

    What I'm really looking for is a camera that I can mount to the bike to record videos of the ride. Looks like gopro is the ticket, but wanted opinions in case there's something out there better suited to my RSV.

    It's a bunch of hooey. If you don't jump on the global warming bandwagon, you're called a knuckle dragging denier.

    The wife keeps asking me what I want for Christmas, and I was thinking of telling her to get me a Go pro or the like for the bike. More often than not, I don't wear a helmet, so I'd like one that mounts to the bike, but I'm not sure how that'd work. I've a '06 RSV. I'd appreciate any input on cameras and mounting options, so I can just send her a link to exactly what I'd like Santa to bring down the chimney. Thanks a bunch.

    Close Call

    Been there, done that......It'll pucker the backside right up until you stop. Congrats on making it through upright. No small feat.

    OH COME ON ! You can come up with something tougher than that......Or maybe I'm really smart.......Nah....that couldn't be it.

    I'm with ya. I live in the woods with about an acre cleared around the house. I blow them with a parking lot blower (8hp Kohler on it), until they get too deep to blow, then rake them onto a tarp and drag them into the woods and dump them. I've got it just about beat this year, but I wonder if I'm gonna be able to keep this up when I'm a old timer. Hopefully I'll be outta here before I get to the point where I can't handle it. (Gonna retire to a different locale) Small place in Central PA for the Summer, and Central FL for the Winter. Wife wants to move near the Outer Banks, but I doubt we'll be able to afford that.
