Lancer, good luck with your hernia operation.  And stop straining so much on the pot!

And I'm up for at least a day ride (maybe an overnight) if some folks come up to the Boone area, which is just an hour from where I live in Hickory.

"Around the ski lodges" themselves, it IS very developed.  But there are other opportunities for rides.  The Blue Ridge Parkway is easy access from Blowing Rock, just south of Boone.  Grandfather Mountain is a nice ride (for a fee).  And I know a little place called Table Rock Mountain, gravel roads part of the way, 30 - 45 minute hike to the summit, but worth the trip to see the scenery from the top.  Let me think about some others......

In the initial meeting with the nurse she said is was a pretty quick and easy fix, outpatient type so go home the same day, with about 6 weeks of being careful after that.
I just need a date now so I can figure what I can do when.

This was my first year at the Dragon resort.... I didn't see Brady.

I would have thought they would of had a pet Dragon.

 
Durn, I killed MM's Sporster, I killed Dave's brand new white bike, I killed my own rear tire, I killed umpteen hurleys and wings and other things, now you accuse me of killing the dog?

Wow, I cooked the three pounds of bacon and saved the grease in the big pan in case anybody wanted a fried egg instead of scrambled.   I did burn that big pan of toast.

But it was MM that poured all the bacon grease on the two plate fulls of burnt toast and gave each of the two freeloading dogs their own personal sopping heaping plate full of doggie bacon heaven.

Yeeeea   but  she died  HAPPY.    Thats all any of us can hope for !

Ya'll know how it goes :

Harleys are born to die
G Wings are born to die
Dogs are born to die
We are born to die
Savages are born to RUN !

Dave did ya find out what the noise was ?

After see how well the GPS thing on the handlebars worked , I put one on mine !    

OldFeller your going to like this :    

My Maggy has a built in "Black Line" feacture.

Shortest Route.    
And if that wasn't enough !!!
There is a way  to "Esclude" part of the Route if it doin't suite ya !

But when you Butt gets tired there is also a  "Fastest Route" option.

The Shortest Route option has show me roads in my own neighborhood I didn't know of.    Like it so much ; I even bought another one for the  car !

Dave, here is Suzuki's pissed off customer hot line

You are gonna need it .....


So ... those of you with leaky gas caps might want to contact Suzuki directly. I did have an extended warranty on my bike but you never know, they might just replace your tank & cap for free too. BTW, when I had to sign the warranty paperwork, I saw the price of the gas tank - $544 !!!! Holy moley - I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it!!!

Here's the website: http://www.suzukicycles.com/

From the website: "Should you have a situation that you believe requires American Suzuki's immediate assistance you may call Customer Service at 714-572-1490. Customer service representatives are available from 8:30AM to 5 PM PST."  and I spoke to Cecil. BTW, DON'T tell him I sent you - LOL!!
