Save the tips boys he's home!

We're just waiting on the details.[8D]

 

The trip was great. I got to Dallas Love Field without a problem at 1:05 (flight was actually on time). Jose, from American Eagle HD was waiting on me. Go to the dealership and the place was packed! Skully had all my stuff waiting for me including my new scoot cleaned and full of fuel. He made the guys in the back wash it one more time before I took off at 2:45 PM. Sweet!

I can't begin to tell you the difference between the '90 FXRS and the '07 FLHP. I had the hardest time getting use to the torque of the 103"and smoothness of everything like the throttle and the clutch.I caught some traffic on the 635. An Accord decided to check out the transmission of a KIA. The KIA's rear wheels were setting on the roof of the Accord. A classic reminder as to why tailgating is illegal. With that, I motored on to Little Rock. Had to make up some time and the bike was more than willing to help. Now I know it doesn't have cruise, but it wouldn't move from 80 -85. It just liked it there. Just like when you buy a new car, you don't realize how fast you're going to you look down. I made it to Lonoke, AR, about 400 miles by 9:45 PM. Ended up staying the night and motored on today at 8:45 AM.

Althought the sun was out, I believe the high today wasaround 40 and man it felt like it. I stopped a little more than I planned just to get the blood flowin'. I hit Jackson, TN at about 12:00 PM. It was unbelievable what those tornadoes did there.I could see where the 20 big rig pile-up was. Absolutely nuts. I started to get the shakes by the time I was nearing Nashville but once I hitit I knew I was almost home and forgot about it.

Thats about it. You guys were rightabout a lot of things, but one in particular, I can't seem to get rid of this **** eatin' grin I've got.

i would highly advise you to buy an electic vest. easy to install and takes the place of a few of those layers. harley has one. see your back, so advise is a little late. maybe for your next cold trip

 

Glad you made it safely! Boswell's is where I got my scooter. How many times ya washed it so far?

 

First time will be tonight. I was just west of Little Rock when I got behind a rig who decided to blow his engine and get oil all over my bike. Man I was pissed! I didn't realize how much he was putting out until I saw it the next morning when I was leaving Lonoke, AR. Oh well. Gives me a decent excuse right.[sm=happy046.gif]

 

Check out a set of 'Hot Chili's'... they're awesom and about $50 a set.

 

Its better to have it on where you can take layers off than to not have it and figure out you need it and keep the neck covered. If your neck is warm you'll feel warm

 

I know he already made it home, but here is a Wind Chill Calculator for those who might find it usefull: http://www.springfrog.com/weather/wind-chill.htm

At 75 MPH and 30 deg F, the wind chill is -4....Thats freaking cold!!

Well lets see just how stupid I was. 38 for the high in every country east of Memphis on Sunday. I was doing an average speed of 75. Dave's handy-dandy-trusty site says...

7.6 degrees! Hell I knew it was cold but damn! Although, I'm not too confident in its accuracy. Not to take anything away from Dave's find or the site, but I put it my average top spend, say 85 at 38 and the temp went up to 9.53 degrees. Regardless, that's still cold as S.

Thanks for the find Dave.

 

Congrats on the new ride, and the trip getting it home, Potter. Bunch of us here were waiting to see how you made out. Glad you got her (and you) back safe and sound!
