That's a heck of a days work Walter. Hope you had a great time on the trip. It looked like it from the pics. Later, Scooter Bob

OK, please keep me informed. So far that's the only tires I have heard about, so I don't want to leave the guy hanging, in case he wants to go for a putt or sumtin. Carb Sync is no problem. See you Friday, Scooter Bob

Ya, I just saw his truck in a video someone shot. He seems to have done a good job of hidin' from the camera though. -
I guess Karen and I have planned appropriately for our WI MD next weekend. I see pics of 200 people having fun and only 1 bike being worked on. I guess our planning is spot on. Later, Scooter Bob

You got to be kiddin' me. Did he have the bike or the truck? I got a text from him Friday morning that said he JUST got out of Canada. I joked to Karen about what are the odds he just happened to leave Canada with the truck somewhere near Oberlin. Later, Scooter Bob -
Hopefully someone else brings a MRSV to the WI MD next weekend.

Hey Rick, DEER are running like crazy around here! Local bike shop owner is still in serious condition with 20 some broken ribs and punctured lungs, must have took one right in the chest two weeks ago. Karen's brother had one run into the side of his truck a week ago. Please be careful. I talked to the guy with the tire changer today, and so far, he still will be around Saturday morning. Are you still looking to do this? We can. Anyone else looking to change tires?? Later, Scooter Bob

Pick up some brake pad lube for greasing the contact area between the pads and the pistons. That should fix it. All I have and have ever used is some high temp wheel bearing grease, and that worked too. Since you're leaving Saturday Noon, We'll probably do that carb sync when you roll in Friday when it's hot.

A subtle hint about your current sense in eywear fashion perhaps, Boss?? I dunno, Scooter Bob PS. Here's to hopin' everyone had a great time and a safe ride home. PSS. From the looks of some of the pics, I think the good time was covered. -
Ya, I saw that thing on the weather last night. Looked to me a lot like a hurricane looks on the right coast! Later, Scooter Bob

Holy Cow, No wonder my back and leg hurt

You'll have to bring them up on Friday Jeff, cus Jeff is coming Friday and staying over and Jeff has to leave by noon on Saturday. I'm getting dizzy all ready:bang head:, Scooter Bob -
Thanks for the info, but I think I'll pass for now. I just found out this morning that I will be needing back surgery and probably off work for few weeks so I think this is something I don't need to buy just yet. Thanks Again, Scooter Bob

Maybe it's a Wisconsin thing, but some of those will even wave here. Not all riders wave back, could be many reasons. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I still wave, no matter who or what, if they don't wave back, well maybe next time they'll be more courtious. Just my , Scooter Bob

This should explain it all...As reposted from another thread on here. Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don't Wave Back 10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty. 9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm. 8. Refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for. 7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off. 6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos. 5. Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley. 4. Just discovered the fine print in owner's manual and realized H-D is partially owned by Honda. 3. Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else. 2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet. 1. They're too tired from spending hours polishing all that chrome to lift their arms.

I don't imagine I can get a surgery scheduled that quick. -

HI HO, HI HO, it's under the knife I go... We had the Chiropractor look at the MRI this morning, and since yesterdays adjustment only helped for half an hour, he didn't even bother adjusting today. After seeing the pics, he said there's no way adjustments are going to fix this. He's going to start looking for a surgeon for me. I can't wait, I hope we can get this done soon. Should know more Monday or Tuesday. Later, Scooter Bob -
Can you tell me the model # of the lift the coupon is good for. Then I can look and see if it's one I would want. Thanks, Scooter Bob

Ya, I don't know what it is about her, but I got to agree.

So I heard. I'm sure you would have some onlookers to see what's in there. And that's what these MD's are all about. Well sort of. That's a big job. I watched REDRIDER do his last spring, took two or three hours to check and adjust everything, and he already had everything off, and had to put it all back on the top of the bike after I left. Hopefully he will chime in on the total length of time required. Be good to meet you and the Missus though. Later, Scooter Bob

I'd like to say ya, but when I drink much more than beer, others might see what comes out of my insides. Oh, I fixed the missing part of the picture...
