We plan to head to the hill country on Wednesday. Spend the evening with Chris and TLT where I have been asked to prepare some steaks for the attendees. Thursday, we’ll hit the Sisters.
Cool!
I'm jealous, lol. Have a great trip!

Yes I did. I had to add a few more ounces than the prescribed dosage amount in the rear tire but it worked out well. Certainly better than having ****
tones of weight stuck on the rear rim.

Yup. I've thrown a few weights off the Softail.

First thing I do when I get the ST on the road is Denny her up and get some glamour shots.

#sharkweek
Several times I moved wrong without thinking and had anywhere from a few hours to several weeks of back pain, but eventually developed what I suppose is some kind of muscle memory to avoid those moves, then it seldom bothered me much. If you have any long term problems, hope your wife is more understanding than mine was.

Sorry you feel that way about it, but I understand. I watch that stuff a lot, too, but I feel like it's great, I'm retired and finally have enough time for that stuff. But I'm sure I'd get tired of it, too, if I couldn't do all the other stuff I do besides.
