C'mon Russ.....you know the drill - pics!

I wouldn't mind having that extra room as well. I just need to keep complaining about the one we have and hopefully it will get replaced like yours was.

Stopped by dealership and picked up some lights to attach to the saddle bag for run/turn/stop. Maybe hook those up today.
Enjoy! I know I have been!!




Nice bike Denny! My neighbor has the identical bike and color showing up next week. He's retired MOCO and gets a new one every year. Pretty sweet deal - he actually gets paid to trade in his bike for a new one. This year he made $900. Granted, he puts maybe 3000-4000 miles on the bike.


In other news - got a "talking to" about my "unprofessional" email to a dipshit who is the production manager for a product we sell. Totally incompetent and an OR can't be used because of it. She tried turning it back on me and I let her have it, but not really all that bad. My boss (great guy) got a call from his boss who gave him a hard time and told him to tell me to apologize. Fine. I did and I'll just simply let the projects fail moving forward. Apparently calling someone out on their poor performance is unprofessional. Talk about tying my hands behind my back.

Bob, I don't envy the tip toe environment of the current workplace. Maybe you can attend the company function where she is awarded her participation trophy.

I had a brief position dealing with upper managers between airplane jobs a long time ago. Two steel fabrication plants (made custom stuff, big, as in several tons each), CEO also managed one plant, guy I was an assitant to (ok, gofer/errand boy for) managed the other. My guy subcontracted a lot of work, and when I started, they were over a month behind a big contract because they weren't getting the subcontracted work delivered. Boss told me to take his car, talk to everybody, find out where the holdup was. That was easy, was one guy, the one in charge of subcontracting that really liked girls and didn't follow up on anything. Boss told CEO, CEO came to the plant personally and said to fire me, I was bothering his son. Yep, the incompetent girl chasing *******.

Remembering that got me to wondering, google satellite view, both those plants that covered several acres each are gone. Amazing how many things have disappeared in the last 50 years, most of the houses I've lived in, gone, most of the places I worked, gone. My favorite off road riding places, housed over. I feel old.

So many roads here get blocked in the summer.

Doc, enough to make a guy cry, newly restored going to its new home. Don't know where this was, just saw the photos. Mast caught the bridge. Looks like the skids broke from the tie downs.

Nice Bike Denny - Congrats ! Too bad they were temporarily out of Road Glides ...LOL
Moldie, that's a sad chopper. Hopefully no one injured. Looked like a nice refurb.

Damn Moldy, that sucks. Nice bike, Denny. Still making phone calls and figuring out what's going on. Decided to mow instead of drinking today. I started raining halfway through
