    Did anyone hear from Paul (the Red Stallion) that I wired the fan on in the parking lot? He said he would let me know how it went when he got to Ohio. Have not heard from him. I forgot his screen name.

    It seems to me that when we were much younger that we did things with a fly by the seat of your pants point of view. It was exciting to take a trip and there was no guarantee that you would make it there and back with out a break down or some other form of excitement. You met people along the way that either helped you out or were mill stones. You shared a fire, a joint or a beer with a complete stranger and the next day went your separate ways with a good memory and a hang over.

    Today when I travel I have a plan, a dependable means of transportation and money in my pocket and while I still meet really cool people I tend to shy away from the REALLY interesting people that I see out and about on the road. Part of that is my wife is with me and the other part is that media has painted a picture of Blood thirsty road pirates that makes me pass up the hitch hiker that I may have picked up 35 years ago.

    Any way... KEEP on Truck'in those who do and those who don't... Hit the road jack!
    When I travel alone, I still have been known to sleep over at a rest area, plans and roads change, sometimes several times in a day. Still love to hear others stories, you learn allot going in and paying for gas at the counter in some off the beaten path towns.

    Still travel both ways, planned stops with resevations and some with ride till tired, eat, find a place to lay your head.
    It is nice now, feel my scoot will get me there and back and having some money for rooms and food is real nice.
    We all have lots of stories, I seem to enjoy at times thinking back while I ride along.
    Also great to meet allot of folks at rally.

    I am so bad with names. Still, good people and good food, can not go wrong.

    Hey Jim Mcdonald, I spent all day working on the trike. Everyone else here spent the day in the pool. It was 103 today.I adjusted the axle to the left 1/4".Didn't help. Greased the head bearing till I saw grease coming out also. No good. took off the steering stablizer. No good. I'm running out of options. Took the bike to the dealer 2 days ago, & they still won't mess with it. They say they don't know how to fix it.

    Duh!!!! Do what I'm doing & you might figure it out. Thats BS!! They are going to replace the parts that fell off the bike. I think I'm going to call around to see if anyone else has had this problem pulling to the right. I rode a friends trike today,& it goes straight on down the road. Gotta go now so ride safe Jim.

    Y'all want adventure? Ride a while with Scalp Hunter - we have adventures everywhere we go!! This most recent one, TX to NC to TN to PA and back, coincided with the huge windstorm/thunderstorm/hailstorm/power outage in the Midwest, which left all the gas stations along the interstates in Ohio and northern Kentucky dark and useless. Coasted into an off-road station on a wing & a prayer, was able to get 1.46 gals before their tank was empty. Rest stops were also closed (I had a LARGE problem with that!). McD's shut down - - amazing! Trike performed beautifully, as it always does, but we have the most wonderful times to remember - makin' new memories with everybody we meet, reliving old stories with old friends, lovin' every minute of our 'big trips'!!

    I didn't live thru the 'good old days' with bike tales like many (including John) did, but we are havin' the time of our lives now, which is plenty for these old farts!!

    Back then I was flying high with the USAF but before that my brother and I had a old Simplex one lunger with a belt that went around the tire rim to the engine did all of about 50mph I wrecked it showing off to a girl. Then had a WWI Triumph still in crate put that together, rode it for awhile Dad sold it because of some indiscretions I was involved in. First new machine was a Cushman Eagle Scooter did a paper route and delivery service with it made good money too anywhere from $50 to $75 a month which back then was a lot. Then got into some more indiscretions and was offered a choice and I chose the USAF, best thing that could have happened to me they straightned my young butt right up. No more bikes until I got hitched to the Warden and we bought a 1968 Triumph and that was our only transportation for a couple of years. Since then I've had a lot of other bikes mainly Harley's

    Glad you're home safely!!! It'll take a while for your butts to regain any sensation, but be patient. By the time you've gone through your pictures, they should be good!!

    Uh, speaking of pictures, hope you'll post yours!!

    Much love to you both!

    I too started on those hardtail Harley's, here's a picture of my third Panhead in the Rats Hole Bike Show in Daytona 1970. Now in my old age I'd hate to give up my Goldwing but sometime I sit back and think "what if" I had just pushed all my old Panheads to the back of my garage instead of selling them.

    I just can't help adding this one more bit of fun that we panhead riders participated in. We used to park our bikes in a dark area at our campground and set them to idle with the timing retarded (as far as it could go and still run). Then we'd relax and see whose motor would glow red-hot enough on the rear cylinder that we could actually see the piston bouncing up and down in the cylinder (visible right adjoining the rear exhaust outlet). And then we'd go off into stories about how we got burned by our bikes, or it was so hot . . . . .).

    Just had to throw this little recall out - I doubt that Goldwing riders on here have had such heated discussions yet.

    Cool

    These are the good old days.

    My back wouldn't take my pan shovel 24in extended springer on a stretched frame, then or now. Then both front legs popped loose from the welds going 70mph to work, rode it home like that.

    Told bobby, to slug it, but hell no, he was an aircraft welder and welding that 4130 chrome moly into the mild steel was easy peasy and i didn't know chit, mmm, see how that worked out.
