Wayne, did you rent a Road Glide for the trip? (remembering your visit out here)

2014 HD "project RUSHMORE" http://projectrushmore.harley-davidson.com/?source_cd=Email_081913_MY14&camp_id=16 I like some of the changes they made to the new EG Ultra ... and some of the color combo's are quite nice. hmmmm... wonder how much I'd lose on a trade-in... ??? geeesh, Nina would kill me!

We towed the trailer to the campsite and stored it there until we got back from Sask. Vic handled the long haul to Sask and back effortlessly but for some reason, it just wouldn't avoid the bugs and road grime! I washed it when we got back to Prince George and then it took me several hours once at home to finish what I didn't get cleaned in P.G., finally doing a complete polish and wax job. A problem did occur tho as once we got home I noticed some oil weepage from the valve covers, primary case cover, and head gasket of the rear cylinder. Vic dealer will be fixing it under warranty. As for pulling the trailer, it was easier to handle than the RSV and a bit more power. No comparison to the Wing tho.

well, not really as we took over 900 of them but here are a couple more... The view from our campsite [ATTACH]79288[/ATTACH] All set up (before the wind storm blew it down) [ATTACH]79289[/ATTACH] Campsite includes pets. [ATTACH]79290[/ATTACH]

While Brian (friesman) was heading our way, we were going the opposite. Spent the first week going to Plenty, SK to meet up with Nina's relatives for a "celebration of life" for Nina's mom who passed a year ago March. Then it was off to Prince George, BC to visit with Nina's brother and his wife for a few days before our final destination of camping at Loon Bay Resort. The plan was to camp for 5 days and then return home .... NOPE! ... Major windstorm and crappy weather put a damper on that ... we packed up and left on the second morning. What a disappointment! A few pics for y'all... Packed up and on the road.

heh ... we had "our share" of crappy weather at various times over our 2 weeks, including that wind storm that nearly blew us into the next camping spot LOL. Got home and barely in the door and down came the rain for the balance of the evening. Stopped raining about mid-morning the following day so I took a ride out to the Vic dealer in Langley and hit heavy rain en-route .... funny thing is, I've gotten so used to it I just laffed it off and cranked the throttle!

Good to see you're home safe and that you had a great trip. Sorry we missed each other in Kamloops.

Shipping from USA to Canada rates have jumped so high that it's almost not worth buying anything on-line anymore. Could our govn't have had anything to do with that?

good one!

... and we have had the opposite and for these parts, a totally uncommon July. We have not had rain all month and there's only been a day or two that we've had any cloud cover at all. If we make it thru the end of Wednesday (tomorrow) we will have broken all former records for July and for that matter for all time as being the only month ever around here without any rain whatsoever. But guess what? Nina and I are leaving on our holidays, on the scoot, with our tent trailer in tow Friday morning and waddya know.... the forecast is for RAIN ... and lots of it for both Friday and Saturday all on our route!! arrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It's in his profile ..... Oh he already posted it.

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! don't do it man!! It will turn your 1st gen into a 2nd gen!!

Based on the RKs I had, there are 3 baffles in each muffler I can't recall how far in they are tho.

Oh, for{pete}sake ...

They are all standing on the banks ...

Here's the package... they cost me $5.62 (excluding tax) for two and that is a discount from $10.36 (excluding tax) list. [ATTACH]78771[/ATTACH]

ggrrrooooooaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn it is funny

I'm going to go get some today (assuming they have some) from where I got them before. Maybe I can become a supplier for y'all ? With all these old 1st gens around, there's got to be a market ... heck, I could get rich offn y'all :cool10:

You could also check with some industrial bolt & nut suppliers -OR- I could get you some from where I got them and send to you.

fwiw, I checked Lee Valley and every hardware store around here and nobody had them.

I think they are often used for those gas struts. Maybe someone who sells those would have them? Just take the pic and try some auto supply jobbers.

I'm sitting here gigglin at y'all ... ya got to know I was bs'n

Don't forget to take a jar of vaseline with ya ... in case it rains (yes there's a joke but maybe a bit too risque` for here lol)

I "think" he's after one of these for fixing the broken tabs on side covers... [ATTACH]78740[/ATTACH]
