What if.....

[Ewreck]

What if...

The Patriots go all the way and tick off the rest of the country? It's gonna happen. All this talk of how they're all done has poured more gas on the fire, poked the bear, whatever you want to call it.

Go Pats
What if, the Pats end their run to the team they started it on? GO RAMS!

[Ewreck]

What if...
...there were 8,000 Russian illegal immigrants on the Mexican border that were Trump voters?

Would Congress vote for a wall?
How fast?
Vote? They'd be out laying block.

[Ewreck]

What if...my streak of not shoveling snow ended today?

[Ewreck]

What if...the Rams took Tom Brady instead of Matt Bowen with the 198th pick in the 2000 draft?

It means you don't need to renew your gym membership anytime soon!

It wouldn't matter - NFL is rigged.

Life is rigged.
Presidents get two scoops.

Damn straight Skippy!

[53driver]

What if...
...Isleen really doesn't like being in the back of the toy hauler?

She tolerated it, but I could tell she was more like "What the heck? Let's ride!"

[53driver]

What if...
...Atlanta was hosting some sort of alleged sporting event this weekend?

[Ewreck]

What if...my Southwest flight leaves Saturday at 8:30am out of DIA to said event?

[jm21ddd15]

What if... My seat in front of my big screen tv is more comfortable, than the "stadium seats". And the beverages are cheaper?

[53driver]

That's what!!!!

[53driver]

I hope your cable line thaws out by then....my sister in Milwaukee has drapes frozen to her windowsills!
And she just had new "energy efficient" windows installed.
My response: WTH????

[jm21ddd15]

What if... Hey Steve, how would "Isleen" look, with some good old Polar Vortex frost on her? Think she would crank over at -33 (without the wind chill), like I had the past 2 nights? Good news, my dog and rooster survived! Yes, they live outdoors.

[Ewreck]

What if... My seat in front of my big screen tv is more comfortable, than the "stadium seats". And the beverages are cheaper?

I'd say you need better connections.

[53driver]

What if...
...the Patriots won the game?

I wouldn't know - I didn't watch, but I'm sure they did because the New England syndicate was embarrassed last year and the NFL is another money making tool for organized gambling.

[Ewreck]

What if I personally watched my team score 3 points in a Super Bowl?

[53driver]

What if I personally watched my team score 3 points in a Super Bowl?

that's 3 points more than my team scored in that game!

[Ewreck]

To bad they didn't play your team.

[53driver]

To bad they didn't play your team.

My team won last year.
I'm good!

[Ewreck]

My team won last year.
I'm good!
Hopefully Wentz fully recovers. I like him. Wished my Rams took him instead of Goff.

[wjduke]

Don't poke the bear.....remember that next season

[53driver]

Don't poke the bear.....remember that next season

Aye aye, sir!
Congratulations to you & your team!

[53driver]

What if...
...we all chose "greatness"?

Oh wait we did...the Best Bike Ever (thank you, GATeach).

[53driver]

What if...
...I'll be teaching 11 new motorcycle riders this weekend?

I love bringing new riders into the fold!

A lot of politics would be discussed.

Why...most certainly!
We discussed National politics, Florida politics, some city and county stuff - mostly as relates to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Gun laws, recent carry concealed issues, why hasn't Hillary been indicted yet.
Where the country is going, is it following the demise of the motorcycle community or is it leading the way?
We discussed real bikers vs. pretenders vs. those with opinions and have no clue.
Brought up Pelosi's latest bizarre quote and then wondered how she has kept her place in Congress.
Talked about the new faces in Congress and again, what the hell are they doing there?

Stuff like that. It's all goodness.
Fortunately we agree on many base concepts of life so there was no argumentative diatribe, just two guys hanging out with good drinks and good food.

Based on the information you so kindly furnished are you expecting attendance numbers to fall by 50% next year?

Now that's funny!!!!!

Probably.....unless there is a sudden unexplainable influx from down under during Bike Week....

[53driver]

Now that's funny!!!!!

Yes it was!

[53driver]

What if...
...trained 7 students at HD earlier this week and 11 more students for the Navy this weekend?
18 new riders born!

[jm21ddd15]

Attendance will probably double next year! MAGA!

[53driver]

What if...
...a sudden outbreak of "free-thinking" and "free-spirited" political debate broke out in the "Off Topic" section?

The politics of Mad$tad, California, and New York. Lol.
I'm SO glad this board isn't so full of stuffed shirts that we can't let our hair down at times.
Y'all keep rocking those keyboards!

A stirred pot makes a much better stew than a stagnated one.

So your stirring the pot on purpose. Never saw that coming. :cool:

[unsub]

What if.....those leaving California meet head on with those leaving New York? Will they need a white line down the road to avoid bumping into one another?

[tenxxx]

They would stop and protest each other.
Then a mini ice age would hit and they would all be frozen snow flakes.
Then,,,, they would all melt into normal human beings.
This is the "What If " section right?

What if...
...your County Board Chair Called for "Taxpayer Financed Defense Fund for Illegals"?

And What if...

What are they drinking/smoking/sniffing in Fairfax, VA?????

Still some wool left on them sheep.

[53driver]

What if...
...switching from NGK 6 style spark plugs (the 'standard' option) to NGK 7 style spark plugs (the option in the Owner's Manual for 'extended high speed driving') was the cause of the "cold stumble" on cooler days?

[Cooter]

What if when you take off instead of Grandma-ing it you drop the hammer on it. That cures the stumble. JMHO

[53driver]

Actually, my northern friend, no it doesn't.
Maybe in your climate, but not the warmth of Florida.
In fact, if you "drop the hammer" with a lot of purpose, you can actually stall the bike out.
If you feather the crap out of the clutch and roll on some throttle, the bike will still lurch forward, then back. It's truly not a pleasant feeling.
C'mon down - I'll show you.
Steve

[Cooter]

Do you think the ambient temperature has something to do with it? Sounds like you think your warmer temps may be a factor. So what about humidity? I've ridden a lot of days in the 40's and no prob. I think my absence of the problem could be that my bike is in a climate controlled environment. My garage never gets below 65° or above 75°.

Possibly. My shop is not climate controlled.
I need to gather some data WRT ambient temps and the stumble.

I'm really hoping that Guhl mod makes this go away completely. Tired of it.

What if...
...Isleen went to her "spa" weekend yesterday?

She's getting all her fluids & filters serviced & bled.
New plugs (going with NGK 6s, non Iridium, need to establish a baseline)
Investigating a possible leak in the rear pedal brake system
Some minor cosmetic work done on her undercarriage
And then new shoes (E4s - her 3d set))
My dealership is doing all this work. They take care of me.

It is supposed to rain all weekend, so I thought it was a good time before my BIG trip.
Of course, now the sun is out....lol.

Isleen sounds like a very spoiled young lady...:)

By comparison my motorspouse has never seen a spa day, in fact she doesn't clean up very often, she sits sedentary for months at a time, and her seat is getting softer. Even when I manage to get her revved up the ride is over too soon. (ok admittedly that might not be her fault)

What if...I commit to ensure she is cared for properly, as she justly deserves and take her out more often....?

[53driver]

So what's the big trip? When are you coming this way in June? We have been having crappy cold weather so far and I'm starting to get the itch to ride!

The BIG trip starts in Monument CO where I'm meeting my riding mentor at my sister's house, heads towards the North Rim, then up the backside of CA to Crater Lake in OR, then Hwy 1 to Vancouver.. Heading east to Glacier, Yosemite, Badlands, Rushmore, then to my younger sister in Milwaukee. Then to MI, Toronto, New Brunswick, (Lloyd!). Down to Maine, VT/NH, Finger Lakes in NY and my friend in Quakertown, PA. Then BRP to my favorite hills in NC/TN. Then the KY Bourbon Trail. Or something like that....lol.
Planning about 5 weeks underway. Very limited super slab routing. Can't wait.

[53driver]

Then you would have a proper "motorized mistress" and not some floozie going randomly in and out of your life.

[53driver]

What if...
...Isleen is back from her spa "week" and is raring to go?

New shoes (E4s), all filters, plugs(6s), & all fluids.
Going to be a great summer!
Now: 97,500 miles in 4 years and 8 months of ownership.
Probably will be at 110,000 by 1 August.
I love my 'motorized mistress.'
Cheers,
Steve

Cold start & ride from the dealer yesterday - no stumble.
However OAT was pushing 85 degrees.
One data point is not a trend.

Finger Lakes ... my primary riding area ... I know some roads that will give you views to compete with anything else in the eastern US. Send me a PM if interested.

Sweet that's a good start...wish we had warmer weather here. Probably the coldest and wettest spring I've seen in 15 years. Heated grips and seat helps.

Y'all keep on rocking the forums and I promise I'll check in when I can.

I got over 1000 pics.
Some video...
I need Ron Howard and George Lucas.
