Gawd !!!! I hope so !!!!! The alternative is too awful to contemplate.  

I can guaradurntee you ain't getting on my bike naked. And I sure don't want to see MM on his bike naked



Oh !  NO !  

now I got to try it !



I'm thinking "Towel on the seat "  

Well ,  I changed oil today with "T-6" ,  and now it sounds like a new engine ! .       I think the bike is ready for a ride to Texas .  It will be the first real trip with the new tire , and the wider/taller bars off the Sportster.   I got a air ride cushion from "Cycle Gear" , originally I got a pair (front/back-two piece) for the Harley but have put the smaller one on the front of the S-40 but haven't taken a long ride on it yet.  It may be in my saddle bag by time I get to Texas  .

Add "Mrs MM in lap, facing also naked' and 'bumpy road' for a real thrill ride  

Good news! I finally took my 'tax surprise' to H&P Block, and it turns out, since the mortgage was on a primary residence, there's an exemption, and I don't gotta pay taxes on the debt as income at all
to celebrate, I ordered a portable building to build into a tiny home
should be delivered not long after the ride

Now remember boys, MM comes from the same state as Deliverance (where there really are some blue people and some really ugly hillbillies) and he is afraid any short Texans might could go into the "squeal pretty for me, boy" category if faced with some of his down home real Tennessee terror type critters.

Don't worry, MM,  REAL Texans go armed most times and they certainly don't go their knees all peaceful and easy like a Ned Beatty type.

Bang .... Bang ....  fixes most terror type critters, if repeated as needed ....

I believe texas and Tn have reciprocity (I know Tx and Louisiana do) but you might wato study on it some
I did pre Dragon trip, and the diferent laws state to state made me decide not to carry, mostly because some of them require the gun to be 'open' if you aren't licensed, while others want it hid in the vehicle (for non CHL holders) and I wasn't sure how David might feel about riding with a pistol on the dashboard  

I just checked, Texas has reciprocity with Tenn, so once you're here you're golden
OR is good to go to, as we have reciprocity with Florida (OR is in Fla, right?)
Google: Tennessee CHL reciprocity and you should get your answers
one o these days I gotta get my CHL again, although I can carry on the scooter without (Castle doctrine extended to vehicles, but it doesn't let you carry outside the vehicle, so you need a locking compartment to leave the gun in when you get off, scooter has 2)

Yupo, Illinois, california, Hawaii, Maryland, places where free, independent citizens are not welcome
