    them fellers, my old stomping grounds and with old FF's that I got into motosickling with in the first damn place, thats what rcmc stands fer. :freaky

    side note; anybody got a roll chart holder they want to loan me or steer me to or away from? Moose seems to have the market cornered but at the cost of usability and quality if online reviews are to be trusted...:deal

    or a full zoot cnc machined rig from the Germans for several times what I want to spend- middle ground?

    side note 2; anybody here doing the black dog, and do you know if the thing fills up or will they look away for a healthy overage of participants?

    side note the third; PETERMAN! what's the going price on your Beta bike? not like I got the coin, but you know, it looks like a dumb amount of fun....

    I will be there with the Husqvarna fleet.

    It sits at 133 of 300 now, but Tom often lags a bid in updating the listt so its probably higher.

    Few events have overfilled the last coupla years....a sucky economy will do that.

    I ended up with the cheesey Moose/Parts Unlimited roll chart holder due to the same experience....It is adequate under average conditions...is about all I can say for it.

    It's tan and painted in a quasi military sort of way. I was east bound on Main st in Spfg and he turned towards Pman's shop....so I cut through the tavern then he turned into the tavern without stopping at Pman's place--gasp poor manners!

    Just curious.

    fuuuck-my dad's 78 and was just doing the math with my brothers and said:
    "Could easily only see only Dad 10 more times in my lifetime living 1700 miles away."
    Brother says: " Could be once."

    "Cats in the Cradle" hits home pretty hard some times.:cry

    That is the shitty thing about life.....There isn't a one of us going to make it through alive.

    My Dad will be 78 in a couple months. Still riding his GS, Harley and Quad. He is also still bitching that we ride too damn fast, Roads too damn dusty, Roads too damn muddy etc........

    Hey all, I moved to Eugene a couple months back, and would be interested in meeting some local riders. Are meets pretty much organized and announced in this thread, or is there a Eugene ADVRiders site somewhere?

    Got skype? Get him hooked up. It's not as good as seeing him in person, but it's what I use to keep in touch with my folks across the country.

    Need to get a couple of tires installed on the Magna. I usually take them to Rod at the Triumph place. They don't have prices on their website anymore but it used to be $20/wheel if you packed them in.

    Anybody else in town do it cheaper? Yes, some day I'll likely own a KLR :lol3
