  1. None other that Driver Dan!!! (IH Truck Guy) Seems that Dan had a load that was heading to Beaumont TEXAS for a Monday delivery. He texted me on Friday and we ended up meeting him in Liberty for supper at Chili's and were able to gab and eat for about 3 hours. He showed up in his Barney Mobile, nice Freightliner funny color Now let me tell you folks that haven't met Dan, or his wife Shari something. If you get the opportunity to meet them both or even just Dan....do so. We had them over to the house in Michigan for a M&E and laughed until 3am about some of their misadventures. Anyone that was at the '09 Freebird maintenance Day or the '08 Kitchener Rally will attest to this. It was awesome being able to see Dan again, unfortunately Shari was still up in Wisconsin, but we did get to talk with her on the phone after Dan took our pic and texted it to her. 1st words on her text back was "You Suck!" you get to see them and I dont It was great spend a little time with Dan and I'm glad we got the opportunity to do so. Thanks for meeting us for supper Buddy, we'll have to try and do it again soon
  2. Just wise enough after all these years to know when to pick your battles....kinda like being married
  3. James, You could use Berrymans B12 Chemtool also, Seafoam has priced themselves out of my wallet @ $10 a can. B12 is about $4 so thats what I use now, actually been using it for years.

  5. To all my brothers and sisters in arms, to all still serving our country, to those who paid the ultimate sacrifise for our freedom....Thank you for standing with me. To all our allies that stand with us, the Canadians, the Aussies, the Brits and all democracies. God Bless every one of us, all our past, present and future Warriors. May this be your best Veterans day. The 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th month.......

  9. Thank you to all my brothers and sisters in arm, and all the patriots that honor their sacrifices and memories. Semper Fi
  10. James, Sad news to hear my friend, but everything in life has a purpose. Taking one's life may not seem to have a valid message in it, but can turn perspectives. I'm not as old as you folks (although I do feel a lot older on some days) but I lost one of my lifelong friends of my youth when we were both 18. He too decided that life wasn't worth living and took his life. To this day I never understood why he did it, he was a good looking fella, very smart, strait A student and liked. As others have mentioned, there are some of us that have flirted with taking our own lives. I have too years back, but decided against it. Friends come and go, it's important that we never give up on ourselves. You have the # and I'm always happy to hear your voice, life will get better, there are many more roads to concur....all the best.

  13. Unfortunately testing new theories out cost some money. I have spent my fair share of cash on things that didn't quite work out like I would have liked them to
  14. Good age to start him out, I started with minibikes about 9 and @ 12 had a KX 125. I ride my street bike just like I learned to do my on my dirtbikes. Downshift to be in the powerband, and use the rear brake a lot. Good on you both as it will be a great experience for both of you!
  15. Those are very cool, good on the family that will protect it's deceased members. There are many people these days that could learn from these examples.
  16. Just a word of wisdom here, make sure you do not get loctite on any of the bikes ABS plastic parts. It will make them brittle and break

  18. SWEET!!!!

  20. This is very promising to hear, good on y'all for getting out early
  21. Wonder where he learned that from GRANDPA
  22. They'll never be that big Jeff, unless I get implants
  23. I hope that you are able to get ahold of your kids Kevin. I never had any, but have inherited a couple. I have friends that have gone through what your doing. Good luck with it all and the money can be replaced, your kids....thats another story.
