HA HA Small World Indeed
[QUOTE=ultrafxr;731576]Small world Mike. My wife is from Jackson, MS. We met when I was stationed at the SAC base in Columbus, MS, and she was in college there. And I too got to spend time in Guam and Okinawa as well. SAC was transitioning back them and moving north with fewer bases so I got to spend my last tour in Izmir, Turkey. Really enjoyed it over there.[/QUOTE]
Well you are right, it is a small world at times. You are another guy that met his wife while stationed in Columbus. Were you in training there? Now for the other small word item. I spent 18 months from December of 69- April of 71 at Karamursel Air station, Karamursel Turkey. I then spent my last 9 months at a Navy site called Card Sound while stationed at Homestead AFB. the Card Sound site was located south of Homestead. My best friend was also stationed at CAFB before going to Quam.
I remember getting to watch several B-52 (BUFF's) taking off during an ORI one time at CAFB. It was an impressive and loud display of American air power. :clapping::D:D
BTW, I was born and raised in Jackson, Clinton and lived in Madison for many years. Also, our Son finished school in Mechanical Engineering at MS State while his now wife was attending MUW, or the "W" as it was known.

When I was up your way last summer I saw that I had lost the plastic cover over the water pump on my 2018 Tri-Glide. Now I doubt that it is really necessary but I thought it was there to protect from flying debris that might damage the pump or coolant lines so I wanted to get it replaced. Bald Eagle H-D there in Marquette is the ONLY dealer in the U P so I made it a point to stop there after leaving Ishpeming. When I inquired about the part they of course did not have it in stock. But they did have a new Tri-Glide on the floor and the parts guy without being asked said he would take the part off his TG and sell it to me. Now that is customer service. Wish all dealers were like that. :)

Now that kind of service is REALLY hard to find. I will try that at my local stealer and see what happens.

I got my Target Tune Kit from Fuelmoto on Tuesday, so Wednesday morning started pulling the exhaust pipe off. I had purchased a used head pipe and ripped out the cat. converter and welded in 18 mm bungs in preps for installing the wide band O2 sensors. Install sensors and tried to install the pipe, Oh Crap it don't fit. The O2 sensor are much longer than the stock ones. The front one I was able to weld in another bung just a couple inches lower and the rear one I had to change the angle. Got those welded in Thursday morning and got the rest of the wiring done. Sent the map that I had been using off to DynoJet and got it back late yesterday. got it downloaded to my computer and loaded on the Power Vision. So tomorrow going out for a couple of auto tuning runs

Today I put new low dust rear brake pads on the Black CVO TG. I plan on finishing the wiring for the third brake light on the Black CVO TG and put low dust brake pads on the White CVO TG by the end of the day if time allows.
