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.

Regardless of how you got from point A to B in the past it just doesn't seem like it's as much of an adventure as it was... "back in the day".
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! ThumbUp
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.

MJ and I finally made it home. 7436 miles. boy did we make a wrong turn. Really we had a great ride and a lot of fum just the 2 of us.
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.
