Understood, Family FIRST! of course a sidecar could always be considered? lol. my friend that got me into church, that died when he hit a trailer fender, swung too wide & fast in a curve, it was a trip to watch him & wife as they made a special seat on tank with foot pegs for their child & had...

instead of trying to find time to ride, look at them as your transportation, so do your daily riding with, like to work, store, shopping, or any other errands, you will be surprised how the miles will rack up. if you really enjoy, don't try to make a special event just to ride, just use them...

I have seen them with oil reservoir to keep a constant supply to bearing, as well as an attached gearbox which is lubricated. lol.

had some lady 20 some years ago, must have been in another world, probably running 10-15 under speed limit, & I was running about a bit over the speed limit, when I went by her she freaked out, yanked steering wheel to right & she was in the right lane, & went down an embankment, I did not have...

my primary home joins 4,000 acres of govt land, all wooded. from my place to god knows where, even when you see homes, land is mountainous and treacherous, while my other place is also remote, I see pastures for miles but no homes. a lot safer there, than here if an emergency happened

I have rode close to 40 years myself, well over 30 of those year round no matter the weather, & hundreds of thousands of miles, I used to only put 2k to 5k miles on my truck a year & 20k to 40k miles a year on my bike, since a very close call when I stopped riding everyday, I now average 6k - 8k...

I have close calls all the time I my car or truck, & had a bunch on my Harley, but the one that almost took me out blew a stop sign while reading a hairstyle magazine, still unsure how I got stopped without being hit. that's when I stopped riding as much.

No thanks! I actually stopped working in bike shop that I grew up around, as I refused to work on bikes owned by yuppie types, and refused to work on anything newer than 1984, and I am well versed on Harleys from the 1920's to 1984. I finally got a twincam, about 4 years ago, still prefer an...

Yep, flying is something I always wanted to do, I started 20 years ago, then life happened, only had just over 3 hours in the air, this year when I see I am able to get back to flying, I am using this group to stay motivated, and I am working 3 jobs 70-90+ hours a week, 1 of which has me in...

[QU"SoonerAviator, post: 2774779, member: 20765"]Yeah, not too many trees in most parts of OK and TX getting to 100’. I have probably 15 that could hit the house if they fell, they are all probably in the 65’-75’ tall range. Still more than enough to shade the house until about noon-3:30p or...

When I built mine I was given free lumber, I coated each board 3 coats Kilz primer on all sides, then I put a caulk in each screw hole, and then put heavy dose of sand in gray battleship paint, painted all surfaces, even underneath. Repaint every 2 ish years, and still fine after 11 years.

My wife was fussing earlier today, primary house electric bill was $95??? Usually $65-$75 in summer, and $125-$150 in winter, second home usually $25-$35 a month. But only here a few nights a month, and sporatic days, when I have to work in city as my other job, that's closer to second home. 15...

To me most dangerous is riding my Harley, lost too many people I know, due to people not paying attention, turning in front of, hitting head on, pulling out into intersection, running a stop sign, or light, over 100 people I knew personally have been killed due to idiot drivers. As for OP...

High humidity here too, but temps in low mid 90's but oaks and hickory trees, many 10 feet from house, over 50 that could possibly hit house, all well over 100 feet tall. So sun only touches roof a few hours during mid day. When I bought house I figured I would need air, bought 4, only used 1...

This is why I love my mountain home, surrounded by a forest, even with people suffering close by, I do not need air-conditioning at all. However my trailer 45 miles away, as remote as it is, in opening is hot, I'm there running 3 window units. Can't wait until I can get to primary home. Lol.

When I decided to get back into this, I checked groups I was in 20 years ago, most still there, anyone remember Yahoo Groups, I noticed 1 person selling books, DVDs and info is still free in the yahoo group, I remember when it was new, and person wanted followers, now they are more popular...

I don't mind the smell, I don't smoke, but as friends said, what about smokers rights?? What was once heavy advertised, protrayed to be cool and glamerous, now try to make feel like a second class citizen. Another friend chewed, and he would spray anyone that blew smoke in his face, he was old...
