Unlike the track, the ambulance just doesnt pull up and take you to the hospital when you are in the boonies.

Was that the red one off of Craigslist for 2-2,500. Was a great deal if it was!

I think he is smarter than that. I saw him in all his lime green glory cruising down the highway just the other day.

Just wondering if any of you have had any dealings with a property line dispute. I had my property surveyed, and my neighbors retaining wall he built is almost 3' on my property. This is kind of a big deal. The difference between getting boat, toy box into my back yard or not.

I have not seen the new 680, but maybe that will be the powerplant for a new DS. You now honda will end up comming out with something. They like to take thier time and do it right. More profit to make a design right the first time and have long production runs.

I only have so much time and money Jon! New driveway is on its way though. it is now roomy and usable. That is why it was so important. Kids keep the big grass backyard and I can now get a boat, rv, or toy hauler through to store it. Seems storage fees are what really kills when having toys.

I also go to Discount Tire. They have always beat everyone elses price. Going through them for all my vehicles, they have done so many repairs, rotations for free. They are everywhere in case of trouble on the road.

Congratulations. Nice bike!

My main job now is Father to my 3 kids. I am a licensed tile setter. Love construction. Need a project done give me a call. Did not have the opportunity to have motorcycles as a kid. Recieved my first motorcycle in my 30's as a down payment for a job.

yes. That was not included in the 6,000.

I made a deal with the nieghbor that he would kick in 5,000. He paid the general contractor 5,000 and I paid for the rest. I ended up over 6,000 out of pocket, and I built the wall with the general basicly my helper. This was less than the lawyer wanted to start. I now have the knowledge, skill and tools to build block walls. The main thing is I have my property back. The wall is now on his property, and any future issues will be his! After surveying my lot and establishing the proper lines, I gained about 4-500 sq ft of my lot.

Update. Its over. I ended up demolishing and rebuilding the wall. First try at building a retaining wall. It was a huge project. My access went from 9' 8 to 12' 4. His orchard got relocated to my front yard.

This is my garage project. New tool box. Costco closeout. Noticed fakename has the same. Never had the privilege of having my own garage, or tool box. Loving it!

The guy I took for a ride is a customer who bought a beach house a block away. I remodled his whole house. I first took him surfing, then showed him and his wife the town, we finaly got his DRZ. running so we could ride. Maybe he should have brought his KTM. He is the guy who hooked me up with the XR.440 Hammer. I would say I did half the house! He must of given you a bonus for getting him a free outdoor shower! -
after wrapping, you should spray on a coating. I use DEI Hi temp silicone coating. The cloth will resist water, and will not want to frey.

Kickstand works. The honda is steel though!

Not a ride report, but I covered 13.1 miles today

Nice job! I use to be able to run when I was in the Marines, but tile setting has taken a toll on the knees and back. Also the expansion of the bodies frame hasnt helped much either. Glad your shared desire to finish with your family/ kids. Great role model for their future tasks! I am also sure that the aero dynamics of the smooth melon helped with your time! -
I will volunteer.

My wife just got the Kodak 12 megapixel easy share digital camera. I like it. Now I am thinking of getting one to carry with me. Should I be looking at something else, or will it do?

Rider shot, in Baja. Surfing Carlsbad is looking better

This is why people should have the right to carry firearms. If you are law abiding, you should have the right to protect yourself from criminal assholes that have no regard for others lives. It would be nice to see some vigilanties go down and clean house! -
There are Flaming trolls all over this place ( not that there is anything wrong with that ). We must first know to which comment you are refering to!

Yes today is my birthday, and no new bike waiting for me. I was blessed with the gift of a new baby boy. Robert Theodore, healthy 7lb 5oz baby.

Thanks! First born was 9lb 8, second 8lb 9, new one 7lb 5. I think I will dub him bum-lite!
