I've seen one, never fired one. IIRC, they aren't cheap

When I was a young man I would sometimes visit my Dad at work at Miller Brewery. He had a fridge in his office stocked full of Miller beer provided free. We would sit there and have a few beers in his office and shoot the ****. I miss those days.

edit - Cool gun Stan. How does one load a belt for that?

Everyone complains about Harley dealers being stand-offish, un-caring about customers, rip offs, etc. My local dealer, Capitol HD has something going on most every saturday for the customers. November 11 is a power train workshop. Will cover Screaming Eagle stuff, Baker trans stuff, and Stage 1 thru 4 upgrades. They do try to keep customers in the loop and informed on many things. I have plans to go to this workshop! I do like my local dealer....staff is friendly and will always stop to talk with you!!
Just an FYI that they aren't all bad!!!

I've rarely had a bad experience at a dealership. Granted, I only use them when the bike is under warranty or for buying parts when I'm working on them. That said, I just brought my 2008 Road King in for a warranty covered ABS flush and inspection. Didn't cost me a dime and now I have the peace of mind that the brake system works as it should. How many manufacturers will do that on a vehicle made in 2008?

We do treasure our memories with Dads these days Bob.
You have to hand-load the little 22 caliber belt. LOL
$3900.

The food is on an island type buffet in the hotel, we guys get hungry and in we go. After about 12-15 of us had gone through and taken a generous portion of what appeared to be a lovely squash concoction the hotel attendant lady said....Oh my god, they've eaten most of the macaw's food. Sure enough, in the lobby...alive and squawking...a macaw.
One of the permanent base camps when I did my little Amazon adventure there was a resident semi wild macaw who had a thing for sugar cubes set out during breakfast, he’d walk up on the table pull the lid and take a few, bit intimidating up close. They let him stay around to keep the bigger spiders and other crawlies out.

Sausage tortellini soup will be dinner at some point....and biscuits.

I just realized my SGS did not come with a rain sock for the screaming eagle air filter, I should look into getting one.
