Never an easy day when you loose one of mans best friends. I trained and ran labs in competition for yrs and buried my last one in the fall. Still catch myself looking for her when I walk by her kennel. Unfortunately they leave us way to soon. The memories will last a life time Mitch and there will be days that something will trigger a memory and bring a smile or chuckle to your day

Yes check the straps when stopped but also give your trailer a once over also when stopped. Check the hitch and pins and chains before heading back out and also not a bad idea to give the tires a look at and if your careful give the wheel hubs a touch to see if one feels hotter than the others. Might save you a failure while driving at a high speed.

Same here, thought about this already and would have room for 3

The wife and I joined EJ last yr for a ride and I can say it was a humbling experience to see these young rock stars that have been fighting such a terrible disease that no child should ever have to fight. I was surprised when we found out the ride in Michigan was canceled for this coming year. It was a day I won't soon forget. I got to take Andrew for a ride in the slingshot and found out he loved Metallica music and it just so happened I had a memory stick with some of there songs on it and we rocked out for the hour we rode around

Any places out there that rents stripper poles for the day?

there goes the neighbourhood, Jared you better start looking for a new place to move now I can see the neighbors with their pitch forks and guns now escorting you down the road

I would think if a sticky thread as the first thing someone sees when they click on the vendors section with a rating and comment section for each vendor would be great. It would have to be controlled as to comments and not turned into a discussion thread. And as stated the person leaving the comment should have to be a member in standing, possibly approved similar to the nsfw section

All the best to you on your birthday

Just for an example of our exchange rate, I bought the cam nut cover from Dieter at $38 US dollars which I believe is a great price for a quality item, when my PayPal invoice was all done it was $51 and change. Unfortunately I don't see the exchange rate getting better anytime soon. Don't get me started on gas prices. We purchase gas by the liter which is 0.2641 of a US gallon. We are paying $1.31a liter right now for regular unleaded and $1.54 for premium gas so that's $4.96 a gallon for regular and $5.83 a gallon for premium gas. They say regular gas will hit $1.50 this summer. Oh well off to work we go. Rant over, see you in Maggie

I was just sayin', why not order now and have guaranteed pickup in MV?
Look forward to seein' ya, eh!

When we pay for things through PayPal, they hose us with the Canadian to US dollar compared to if we go to the bank and convert the money and hand it over in person. You have to realize everything that we buy for the slingshot we are paying at minimal 30% more than list price due to the money conversion so in the end if we can save a few dollars it adds up.

Arriving on Monday so I hope he has them. If he doesn't I will place an order then I guess. Hopefully have the bags for our planned trip on the Wednesday, we might have some Canadian love to bring down to South Carolina lol

Congrats on the new home, hopefully it has a garage to keep your sling nice and safe

@Ruptured Duck I was going to pm you on a order but see you will have your items at Maggie so I will see you as early as I can before your sold out to grab a set of bags and a carpet kit. Looking forward to having your bags for weekend trips.

You can't mistake @EjFord just look for the gathering of beautiful women and he will be in the middle of them. Ej you have to let us guys in on your secret of attracting these women all the time.

Jim, that is totally awesome sir. After hearing your story when I meet you, I could tell right away that you and your wife were very special people and the love you have given to that special girl was truly something spectacular. I am a firm believer that there is a reason for everything that happens and to see how you have taken this young lady into your life is just so wonderful. You and your wife have made a difference in humanity and I tip my hat to you two.

I have been checking out build your own websites and believe that's what I am going to do. I have an old double door stand up commercial freezer that is all steel construction except the top with the compressor unit which is all removable and easily filled in and insulated. I have the coils and a few things collected just looking for a PID temp controller and some direction on wiring it all up

Yes please I sent a pm asking for info

Exactly as vshot said. Mingle with others and start up small talk about what you are interested in riding and you will meet others that are looking to get together and take in the local scenery for rides

Just the location of the gps units. They move them around so people don't take them out

@KayTwo , there is a remote possibility that the infamous “Kay” and her evil twin Sister might drop by!
Kay, on her Harley because the Slingshot is a car, is riding the “Tour of Honor” and will be in North Carolina during Maggie.

She may even be at the Fairgrounds an evening or two to meet some of the crazy people I’m always talking about!

Awesome

Happy birthday.
