    The difference between being old and being young

    Being old----you pulled down a side road for an inspection on your machine and catch your breath!

    Being young---you stand on the pegs and look around to the car behind you, give the thumbs up while bobbing your head like you meant to do that.

    I've done both---older is better.

    BTW---grew up in Macon during the 60's. There is no hotter place during July and August!

    Nice Recovery

    Don't forget the golden rule " Power to the rear wheel !!", When it comes to debris, bird strikes and even the suicidal deer, power up boys ! Take the hit and stay on the throttle, it will almost always pull you back upright.

    Seadog, Yes. I started on a Trail 70 long ago and still have an old KTM 2 smoke I rail on every now and then. I've now been on the street for 2 1/2 years. I'm on my third street bike during that time with 50K plus miles now. And yes, thank the Lord I made it.

    lloydmoore, Try Capital Cycle in Macon. Honda, KTM, and Victory takes up most of the showroom and they usually have interesting used bikes. Brian or Matt if you want to price parts. Nice folks; that's my go to place for parts. Yamaha of Byron is nearby and worth looking at their showroom if you like Yamaha and Triumph. Also the Aviation Museum by the base is well worth the trip. And while your nearby, the BBQ at the corner of Watson Blvd and HY 247 near the main entrance to the W.R. Air Force base - the brisket is just fantastic!

    lloydmoore1, NOW I see you are from NB Canada! Your 6 is not likely to be in your travel plans for December? If yes then I want to come to W.R. to shake your hand. If not, PM me if you miss your nice looking blue 6. And if I'm home (spent most of last Christmas in the Fla Keys and thinking of going back) I'll bring MAN-O-WAR over to ease your blues (so to speak). He's the faster black variety of the 6 species...

    Man - O - _War

    Thanks for the info. I will try the BBQ place for sure. I always have to tag along on a shopping trip to Macon so now I can detour to the bike shop!!! Your right the blue beast will not be making the trip with me this time but it will in July when I will be there for 3 weeks. We have a family vacation planned with my 2 brother inlaws which will include a trip to Tennessee and my better half suggested that since we are driving down that I should get a trailer and tow the bike. She was in Tennessee 2 years ago and said I will love the bike roads there in the mountains. That's one of the reasons she is my best friend! I'm looking forward to that trip for sure. I will give you a shout and maybe we can do a ride if the timing works out.
