- June 13, 2014, 10:55:47 AMOh yer funny! The warranty work was for body work; had some repairs done a year ago, and it didn't hold up.
That being said around 2 years ago, I had to see a specialist; 14 hour drive. One way. It is pretty sad how our "free" medical, which we pay big money for, works.
And THAT being said, we have successfully hijacked this thread....

- June 13, 2014, 09:45:05 AMYou boys need to get out of the tundra!
Move south and you'll have lots of extra time on your hands for riding! 15 minutes will get you to a car dealership, 20 minutes to a doctor, hospital, or specialist, and they have these things called a "Mall" where you can go in one building and shop in dozens of different stores, all under 1 roof! Gas stations are all over the place, and they even compete with each other for your business! Why, moving south would also allow you to ride for more then 30 seconds a year between winters! Think of the possibilities! You could actually run out a full tank of fuel or two in a single day, and then get up and do it again the next day! And you could do that every day for literally months on end! Can you even imagine? It's GLORIOUS!!!!!!

Went to Dawson Creek yesterday, (about 3 hours away, had to drop my truck off for some warranty work; on the way to Dawson, I saw something I highly doubt I will ever get to see again in this lifetime. Saw a black bear trying to run down a bull moose; he must have disturbed a sow with cubs. All I could see was the moose in full flight with the bear hot on his heels. Where was the camera you ask? At home in the office. On the way home, there in Chetwynd, at one of the hotels, was a Chevy Nomad; and painted in the same colors as my Drifter, maroon and black. The camera was of course still at home. I might not have had time to get the chase on film, but the Nomad was a different story. Phooey.I have some pictures that explain why you should NEVER leave home without a camera....

- June 09, 2014, 05:14:58 AMTroll as a Veteran rider and instructor for many moons if you had trouble keeping up practice is definitely in order for me .
GB .... I'm thinking one of two things here
1) leave about 20 minutes before the pack
2) draw a straw to see if you get the last spot or my self 
Either way looks like I'll have a riding partner for the dragon

- June 08, 2014, 20:21:13 PMYep, practice is in order for that. I plan to take a trip to southern OH later once the 1500 is back on the road. I'll probably be in the back of the line, though - that way no one will get upset with me for holding them up....

- June 08, 2014, 20:12:52 PMLeading...no I was about 1 second behind them, with is at least 3 turns! I caught up, Takes a little getting used to, this was my first time. I did much better on the way back.

- June 08, 2014, 19:53:57 PMTroll that dragon sure looks like a nice road to travel Were you leading the pack on this video ? The reason I ask is because the only other riders in the video are riding in the other direction . I'm definitely going to have to find some road around here to get my practicing in .
