Went to a bike blessing ceremony today with 1,140 bikes present. Got bike tuned and new brakes yesterday.  I am so ready to go I think I may go crazy before May. Anybody have a 52 day sleeping pill.

Took the trike in last week for excessive back firing and to have it checked out, good thing because turns out the motor (33000) miles is shot. Did not run,sound, or feel like it was. So long story short it is a complete overhaul. What makes me mad is I bought this trike used with 628 yes 628 miles on it and it has had religious service ever since. So now instead of a lot of time to go back over everything to be ready to go ALTW we are nerveious. Harley said it will be ready by April 18th so then we want to put on 1000 miles or so to break it in and make sure everything is good to go. Good thing we live in Arizona where the weather is great. So will see all in RC for the 4th year and to go ALTW the second time. We are going to be the Assistant Platoon leader for platoon 8 on CR to JC then platoon leader the rest of the way. Met with Recon the 8th platoon leader and  really enjoyed the meeting. Ed & Janet

Ed,

That is why HD stands for $100 bills. I sometimes think we are crazy for riding the HD but have been doing it since 1955. Yes we had to cancell AZ bike week also cause I don't have a spare. I told Antheman  Harley not to let bike week interfere and they said it would not, we will see, so lets keep our fingers crossed and we all have a safe tirp on this mission.

Don't get me wrong I love my HD but------- I took it in 7 weeks ago for an oil leak. After in and out of the shop for 7 weeks every seal has been changed, new clutch, new tramsmission, still leaks. Now they say its a bent shaft. Not sure when they will have my bike up and running but 1 way or another I will be ready to go ATW in May. I told my wife either it will be on Ole Blue or the new 1. But go I will. Be safe all.

After a long winters night I uncoverd the bike got it out of the garge and started her up she bad mouth me with her backfireing and cutting out i took her up on the freeway as Iheld her thrutel wide open we got up to 60 mph and she keept bad mothing me after 20 milles we got up to 80 mph and yelled out we got to get ready to go to the wall she let out one big backfire and wehit 130 mph and started running grate took her home changed the oil tuned her up and now she wants to know when are we leaving

Obviously, you ride a Harley

Hello;

130? I'm pretty sure my old Honda won't go that fast and I'm damn sure it wont do it with me on board. Got no need for that kinda speed (or nerve either).
