cat out of bag time
05/15/10 at 13:14:57

Okay, here it goes. I have sold my kayak, lathe, drill press, welder, Hydraulic lift table, hydraulic pipe bender, XY vise and am selling nearly everything in the garage except the motorcycles. As much of my household stuff as I can too.
The plan is to get a portable as I can. i want to be able to get three motorcycles, Two of them with sidecars, and all the rest of my possessions that will fit into a twenty foot conex box, and ship it.
I have finally had enough of riding in the cold rain and sleet. I wish to ride in the warm rain with no sleet. Maybe even some sunshine.
I plan on going about 2300 miles southwest this time.
Since my health has removed my ability to be a long rider anymore,
( I consider a long rider one who rides in the same general direction for three or more days.) I do not think I will feel restricted by not being able to ride more than a hundred miles in one direction.
That's right, I am going to move to the largest of the Sandwich Islands, motorcycles and all.
If I can find the right place, I will re-equip a machine shop after I settle in.
Target date for the move is in August.

And I doubt very much that you could buy a used lathe there for sale. I must be looking at the wrong Sandwhich Islands,Aren't they British ?

Cook named the islands the "Sandwich Islands" in honor of his sponsor John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.

The town of Sandwhich Ontario (south of Windsor) was also named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.

Don't know if the Brits were hungry but the natives were. Capt. Cook was cooked and partially eaten before an armed landing party got the rest of him back.
That is the island I shall live on. Chosen because it has more riding miles than any of the others and a lower cost of living.
I have a Moto Guzzi riding friend who will let me live in an apartment for 500 a month until I find a place of my own.
With the money from selling all my stuff, I should have enough to buy a new lathe and new milling machine. I figure the move will cost me about 10,000 to get me and the bikes there. By the time all the selling is done, I should have about 30,000 in my war chest.
Maybe Savage Wahine will come over from her island and ride with me some time. Kaui is only about 300 miles away WNW.
