Nice..... I head out a week today. I really felt the need this morning on my way into town bringing Darla in for her service. Doing all three oils. Looks like my tires will hold up also.

I am going to find backroads all the way to Vancouver. A week there, then south.

....I choose the latter.

Grey beards on Beemers too.

Glad to see a real music store still in business.

So.... my trusted tech at the HD shop said I probably will need to swap out the rear tire on my fall run. That means I will get about 15/20% less miles out of the stock Dunlop's than I did out of the Metzler ME 88's I had on OldDarla. So I am going to put a ME 888 on the rear before I go. I would put a front one on also, but there should still be enough meat on it for the 5,000 miles I will put on. Then switch up in the spring. And there isn't one in Western Canada anyway.

I changed my signature to reflect the times.... Those in harms way need our help.
