Default Well

First question ??? LOL

What the hell did Johnno do to deserve his new title ?????

Someone catch him doing a reinactment of the movie "Deliverance" with
Trout and his buddies or what the f ????

Any how yeah t'was nice to get out but man the roads sucked ***** !

Tons of sand and gravel everywhere and 3 inch frost heaves .......a frost
heave is like someone leaving a train rail in the middle of the road.

Other than that ..........it was great .............good for the soul.

Must give you Guys a bell on Skype over the week-end .....been a
while .............hell if Robo is around I might even catch him too
if he's not out sitting in the river panning for gold !

ROBO ...............TURN YOUR SKYPE ON ........LOL

Johnno has had that title for a while, sprock... you musta missed it.
I believe he made the mistake of asking how he could get ROTY... LOL..

But yeah, bike looks almost like you trailered it there.... real nice.
(Seriously, looks nice...)

We had the same kinda weather here. We've had 2 nice days in Jan and I've had the bike out for both. Problem both times for pics was mud everywhere. I even had to pull over and clean mud off my visor!
Gravel is real bad, too, from the anti-skid. (or should I say "super skid") lol...
Glad you got out, man... you needed it.

It's a terrible but understandable thing to see a young whipper snapper
like yourself get so upset at seeing how clean and nice a Guy like myself
keeps his Bike soooo clean and shiney

Yeah hey I guess I missed the event that led to Johnno's epic title
Life's been getting the way the past few weeks .....new boss and all the
good chit that goes with that !

Only trailering I'll be doing is the TN trip........ I never travel light and so
need some hauling capacity .........plus be good for one of us to have
a good mobil tool shop etc. Have not dropped that bomb on the missus
yet .........letting her build up "other credits" I can draw against first LOL

Thumbs up

Your Maine snow most melt faster than our Indiana snow. I got out and and looked at the road. There where still the ice patches on the road where the cars had driven over and made it slick in spots. Congrat's on getting out and riding your 'Cane.

I'm gonna whip and snap you, rich boy. (and not in the way you prolly like it...)

Have not dropped that bomb on the missus
yet .........letting her build up "other credits" I can draw against first LOL
Haha!! I dropped the bomb, but I'm not sure if it really went off. I'm thinking she prolly doesn't even think I'm serious.... lol...
She won't care anyway, though. I'm not whipped like some people are...
