    wow. Those are nice... We considered those, but back pain and comfort made the decision for the new seats... Those look great. Aren't you the one with "sullys slit" thread from other place? Lots of time and money went into that sling....

    My PRP covers turned out Awesome

    We did our 5000 mile service. New oil and filter, grease needle for u joint... hope your u joint greasing goes smoother... :00008862: dont forget to check the gear oil, we replaced and used royal purple. The magnet on the ? ? "Thing" had metal shavings on it, the gear oil looked fine, but because of the shavings, steve said drain it... also bled brakes for possible air bubbles, found none... dealership charged us 400 for the 500 mile.. yeah, we be changing our own :00000030:

    As far as a "safer alternative" goes, my thoughts are this: it has to be the lesser of two evils, however its still introducing foreign substances into mucus membranes that im suppose could cause residual residue buildup on lungs just as it does in our tanks... because this form of "smoking" is new as in last 5 or 6 years, the research is limited, and studies are ongoing.


    Remember when we were told tanning beds was the safer alternative to sun exposure? They retracted that nearly 20 years later, and now say tanning beds is 10xs worse than the sun.


    I dont know what Im doing to my lungs, my body by vaping, but I dont have the Smokers cough anymore, my clothes dont stink, my car smells better... and vaping has less chemicals than cigarettes. Thats the only facts I have. I just expect vaping to somehow turn out like tanning beds did. But..... everything causes cancer. We are a society that eats, drinks, bathes, works, lives, with carcinogens daily...
    We all know of people who never drank or smoked, or did drugs, and was in church every sunday that died with cancer. Damned if you do, damned if you dont, so why not enjoy...


    I fully agree it is all in your mindset... Quitting smoking was/is the hardest thing Ive ever tried/trying to do. Everyday, Id like to light up a Marlboro Light. They still smell good to me. Im still not quit, as in, i havent had a smoke in nearly 4 years, but consider it an option that I could.... as long as its an option, i havent quit.

    i share your excitement, we booked at the host hotel, and we will see how that works out... if it is too much of an aggrevation then next year we will stay close but outside of host hotel... have stayed at the five star inn hotel, name is not a reflection of hotel, its cottage style, but nice just the same... locally owned. Wouldve booked there if not at the 3 picked hotels...
    We have been to maggie valley several times, on goldwing but this will be different. Do you have storage figured out? Or are you trailering? We are not trailering, never have, to me, part of the trip is riding there! We enjoy it. But the storage being limited, and I do not like any of the options for sale.... im wondering how thats going to work out. Husband said we'd pack light, that there is wash and dry area in hotel... but i am a female... I have to pack stuff that he doesnt.
    On the other hand, he has his gopro cameras, equipment, mounts, and all the batteries for that.... lol our bags will probably be about the same. We have the prp side bags, and behind seat bags, and storage behind seats.. thats it. I told him im not leaving my hair iron behind... if i have to sit with my bag between my feet!

    Currently, Jerry Brown is sitting on a bill, awaiting his signature- raising vaping age to 21..............
    you can die for your country, but might not be allowed to vape............ X(X( I can't believe this state at times

    not only does that not make any sense.... but the FDA is pushing to regulate vape juices as a nicotine product. Which means paying the cigarette tax...

    someone moved 2 of my posts, totally benign and pg rated to the NSFW thread... Didn't really bother me, but they didn't tell me they moved it... I started an account over there in Feb, in regards of information and events for SSITS... Never had a run in with hedge, but... The attitude of the forum was standoffish, "billy bad ....." attitude... I suppose the "noobs" catch it sometimes, but if I'm paying for an event, and ask a legitimate question, I don't need snubbed. This forum is much more friendlier, I'm not receiving smart ... Answers to questions asked. I like it here. Sometimes bigger is not better.
