So, how's this website and all of you been lately??? :D
Can't say I've missed you guys while I was gone! :whoop:

I can tell you I had a great trip and road 6930 miles over 6 weeks and met many of you on the road for many great lasting memories. My bike is just shy of 79,000 miles now and I just got her back together today after some much needed attention. She's ready to roll again, now if I only had some summer left. Looks like my season has come to an end as far as any long distance trips.

I have many pictures from KaptanAmerika and I's ride across the 13 states we passed through. I will get them uploaded in the "Gallery" section over the next couple days. We attended the Testical Festival then Sturgis which was nothing new as I've done these the last few years. But what made this trip special was our time in Wichita, OKC and Dallas. Many good times there that I would like to return to!!! :2thumbs:

But looks like the site has grown quite a bit with many new members so welcome to all of them. I have many PM's to answer and sorry if I haven't gotten back to you but........

Knotso and I may try and squeeze in a run south to Oregon similar to what we did last October. I remember the cold and rain on that trip but it was fun.

Can't remember if I posted my re-edited video of this trip or small portions of it. I had to fix the soundtrack and some pictures in it and the ending. But most of you have probably seen it before but if not here it is again:

Last thing I will say before signing off here is "KaptainAmerika" I miss you dude :flag::2thumbs::flag::D:flag::cheers::flag:

Welcome back :2thumbs: look fwd to some more pic's/vids, how'd those mirrors hold up ??
:cheers:
Thanks bro, I have a lot of vid to work on taken from Sturgis and Dallas so will get that up soon.

As for my mirrors they are just the stock units and I never have any issues with them and I won't replace them. I need all the rear-view I can get on the road!!! I am on my third set though, mainly due to pitting from the miles.

:cheers::2thumbs::cheers:

Ray, glad to hear you are back, only got whopped in the head once (on the road - I don't know about in the bars:lol:) and now have gone through your bike and are ready to go again!:flag:

Speaking of getting whopped in the head with flying objects while riding, If, NO, I should say WHEN you go on your next 7000 mile trip would you even consider a windvest (or other windshield) for some protection? I ask because I know when I go on a long trip on my heritage springer, I really like my short windshield (I can barely see over it but can 'duck' behind it).

Shovelcowboy:cheers:

Welcome back Master Chief! By the way, I am back at your old stomping ground, Gunter Annex for the Chief's Leadership Course. No homework, no speeches. It's all the good stuff you got out of SNCOA with out all the stress/work.

By the way Billy Ray is a popular name down here in the South...:lol::lol::lol::lol:
