This is our usual bi-monthly excursion there, not a holiday shopping spree. In any case, pray for me.

Well I'm halfway there Stan. I make new friends that want me to work on their bikes. I just haven't gotten paid!

How do fellers. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Seems I read something about Progressive shocks in an earlier post. One of the best things I ever did for Ol' Blue (the 2000 Ultra) was to take those stupid air shocks off and put the 944's on her. Totally eliminated the "death wobble" and the adjustment made for a much better ride under traveling load.

Don't remember the last time I posted here but I might have been back in the hospital a couple more times since the last. Getting over the Covid Kung Fu flu now. Sweet T had it too. Her kid brought it home to us. Really wasn't that bad but I did get the monoclonal treatment when I found out I had it as did she.

Man what a year!!

We are going to ride over to Hernando Beach to eat seafood for lunch. It's in the 60's and sunny, just right.

Hey Tracy! Good to hear from you!

Sorry you had to deal with all those health problems but it sounds like you are over the hump. Feel better soon!

I like the seat you have on that soft tail. Need one like it for my RK.

I truly hope the worst is over my friend but I guess you never know. Facing some major changes in myself. This stuff has made an old man out of me. Don't think I'm ever gonna get to make the ride to the west coast. Nothing but muscle grafts holding me together now since my bones won't heal back.

It is what it is. Maybe I'll *gasp* get a trailer and haul my bike out.

Hi ya Lou! Yeah pretty much the worst year of my life health-wise. I did finally quit smoking after 40+ years. Turns out it's pretty easy. You just need the proper incentive! LOL

Gotta scoot. Have a great day all and hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Afternoon Woodsnitzes. Good to hear Tracy (M) has finally turned the corner and hopefully on his way to better health. I’ve been thinking about him and KR lately, glad they checked in.

Tim, when using ride planner and you want to go to a specific route, make sure you turn off all the road options like “shortest route and scenic route”.
