  1. Brett was a friend of my oldest son. His group of friends here are shaken up about this mishap. They were going to viewing today and plan on attending funeral this week.
  2. I believe the same thing. Stopping is usually the best thing to do and usually appreciated (not always tho). One time I was coming back from a swap meet in Fort Erie(Canadian side) and spotted a bunch of Harley riders in gas station who abruptly pulled out in front of me making me hit brakes to accommodate them. NO biggy! 20klm up road happened to see one pulled over so I stopped to see if help was needed. He just stared me down and didn't reply. Few minutes later 2 of his fellow riders showed up and pulled over on wrong side of road and blocked my bike from the front.SSSOOOO I backed up and pulled onto the highway and left them alone. Still stop even with this episode & will continue as there more thankful people around than these.
  3. saddlebum & I were the first to try the shark and black-death and like someone said(more or less Canadians must rule) I didn't really find too much in taste for the shark(more like chewing rubber)and the blackdeath WAS GOOD and hit the spot real good! Thanks again StarFan for the opportunity to have met you and sampled your shark! Would have no problem trying them again!! Glad you had a good time and hope to see you again!
  4. Will probably be going!! Will see if better half will be going but doubt it. Brother-in-law may also go but won't know till later on.
  5. Our condolences from Phantom Wife & I!!Sorry to hear about your father.
  6. After taking 1-1/2 hours at Fort Erie border + 3 1/2 hour drive from home to rally the trip WAS well worth the trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS to Michelle and Terry for all their generosity and use of property. ALSO great band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had a great time camping with friends and also all the ridding we did! THEN went to bongobobny's for a last visit before leaving to go home around 5:00pm. made it to Cheektowaga(6:15) to find Harbor Freight store for next time down and then had hot-dog(about 30min) left there and headed for border but when got to exit------traffic was backed up to the 190 and sign said 60-120min delay.SO kept on going to border at Niagara-falls which also said 60-120min delay BUT figured by the time I got there it might be less.HHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! Got to first sign on 190 that says if flashing to look for slow or stopped traffic. GUESS what ? As soon as I got past sign traffic STOPPED DEAD. Took 2 1/2 hours to just get to Duty-Free!!!!!!!! Parked bike to cool down and buy bottle for son then left to head to border,what a pain----construction congestion. Took 3min to talk to guard then on to toll booth. Stopped at rest stop for half hour to cool bike again then left to go home finally.Got home at 3:15am. YES 5:00pm--------3:15am--------10 1/2hrs SUCKS!!!!!!!! Hopefully NEXT trip won't take so long!!!

    Accident

    Everything seems to be OK. Only cracks were there before. Carl & Brad seen trailer and the lights I have(4" round Led tail-lights) REALLY bright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I had them ON while I was stopped.(had comments that more lights weren't needed because of brightness of the one I have) So I think it might have been a brief break release then a bit of gas before she hit me. Normally I keep eyes on what is going or coming up behind me but luckily kept enough room between me and new Corvette ahead of me.

    Accident

    Thanks for all the comments and concern . Phantom Wife was NOT with me luckily !!!! This trailer is my new one and was not hit before. Wish I had of gone to international but didn't make up mind in time then Phantom got sick (cold/congestion/) so decided to stay home. Still locking into going to New York mini rally tho.Depending on getting time off.

    Accident

    Coming home from helping son on his truck and just started holidays and WHAM cagger slammed into back of trailer. Lucky I had trailer on and not just bike. I wasn't hurt just a few choice words said! Checked over bike and seemed OK. Lucky I did an over-kill job on hitch nothing done. Took bike for long ride and seems OK. What a way to start holidays.
  16. Sorry to be late also!!!! Best wishes from Phantom Wife & I!!:Happy Birthday:
  17. Got back from Watkins Glenn State park on Fri. afternoon. Went down Mon. morning . Brother-in-law didn't get to ride his new purchase(2000 Gold-wing) because when he was tagging his cows one slammed his hand into a steel pipe and it swelled up to twice the size. So they drove Phantoms car down and we rode bike. Got caught in rain storm just 40 miles from site but dried out on way there. Didn't get to go on too many rides but enjoyed what we did. SORRY we didn't get to visit anyone while we were down in the area!! Lucky they took car because new trailer I bought didn't carry as much as I hoped. Pictures to come!! Won't be going to International BUT hopping to get to go to New York mini rally again.
