    Dont bother. Iowa blows for D/S. Im jealous of the inmates in Colorado.

    When I went in to ask the manager if we could leave the truck there, he went out to look at the trailer and tried to sell me their enclosed new on in the parking lot.

    I don't get it????

    New news! I got the house up for sale. Wife and I are moving back east, she is finished with school. Anyone looking to buy a house in Coralville? 3 BR 1 Bath. Listed for less than I paid for it 3 years ago.
    It is bicycle distance to the Iowa Hawkeyes stadium. (under 3 miles I think) I rode my Target $60 special bike to the games quite often and I hate to ride bicycles.
    Good neighborhood. Neighbors are all quiet. Kid friendly area. Walk to the Coralville park and the big pool park.
    1 block from the bus stop.
    walk to pita pit, sonic, hardee's, mcD's, police station, fire station, Bruegger bagels, farmers market. Bicycle to Hyvee.
    1 car garage. Rocking chair front porch, home warranty, new fence in 2008 and all new windows in 2008.
    Central AC and Gas heat. Hardwood floors throughout. Full basement that is empty.
    PM me for the MLS listing and price if interested. Need to get to NC soon for her new work. pass along to your friends pls.
    here is a pic

    Went on a ride to Decorah yesterday. Good weather and not too much traffic. Looks like there might be some good riding up around there. Round trip mileage wasn't too bad 360+ miles. I've now nicknamed my bike the Ass-Mangler. Although I didn't look when I got home I'm pretty sure I had a case of baboon ass.:rofl

    Here's a pic of the bike at Phelps Park in Decorah.

    Yo scooter noob.

    Get yourself an acerbis rear fender gas tank, drill holes in the TT rear fender rack to mount it and run fuel line under your seat and pipe it in to your main tank vent.

    Just remember 2 important things. Always have your aux fuel tank vented and always check for fuel in the aux tank BEFORE you open the main tank. Unless you like to bath in gas.

    I was getting 200 miles to 210 miles before my reserve light kicked on on my way to Darby MT last year.

    That's next on the list. My friend is finishing up my Pannier rack for my soft cases, and I got a tankbag ordered.

    2whlrcr...there is a gas station in decorah, in fact there's at least 2 of them. There's even a Wal-Mart, its becoming Big-Time.:rofl

    Hot Damn, the tankbag I ordered gets shipped out on Monday, and I get my fender tank ordered on Friday. Things are coming together for my week of Northern Minnesota backroad vacations. Now...if I could only find my trusty old digital camera...:evil
