    After all that Arizona trip.. the Green Vulcan has been sitting on the
    mexican's patio
    without a cover .. filthy and alone..

    Well sir.. in light of speculation that another little run to Mena, Ark.
    would be in the
    making .. I finally got around to half assed cleaning it up. Dropped the
    trip oil and
    installed fresh oil without changing the filter.. (only change it, every
    other oil change)

    Anyway, that Green One is ready for the next run..

    Whoops.. about two o'clock this AM.. the little two bedroom mobile Casa..
    was
    rattling all over .. Something blew in here overnight and that wind is
    howling
    outside.. kinda coldish, too..

    Now .. here is the deal.. I've ridden in tremendous rainstorms, snowstorms,
    ice
    storms, and even tried to outrun a few tornadoes.. <smile> That's not even
    to
    mention the sandstorms, dust and fog that I've been caught in.. Take a deep
    seat
    now.. I ain't gonna set that Green Vulcan in the middle of the highway, to
    make
    a ride to Mena, Ark.. just to see the color of some leaves.. forget it..
    Not with
    this howling wind, trying to tear my little house apart, I ain't about to..
    Ya'll can
    just talk bad about me all you want to.. My momma didn't raise no fool like
    that..

    <grumble.. grumble> Besides.. I'm in a bad mood, today.. lol

    Regards

    Damn wind is wild isnt it? I keep looking outside waiting for my carport to
    be gone. When that wind blew in here last night, it sounded like the
    turbines on my roof were going 500 mph. I dont think I will get in a hurry
    to make that Mena trip either. The weather aint so good there anyway. Its
    windy and real cool there according to Yahoo weather.

    Glad you finally got the Green One all takin care of.

    U making some sense.
    We had some rain with that wind over here in cowtown this morning.
    I believe a Friday day ride will be more weatherwise...

    I got this nu2me ride anxious for a get acquainted trip.

    Well hell.. You are the proud owner of a Voyager, aren't you ? LOL
    Okey dokey, then.. we'll have to get 'er out and give it some air..

    This wind has been blowing so hard over here, that I don't think any
    rain would be hitting the ground, anyway.. If it did.. it would be
    sideways..

    I think I'll just be "holed up" all day.. We ran dead into the wind all the
    way to
    Van Horn, Tx. the other day.. Gas mileage sucked and it worked the hell out
    of those bikes .. They sure took a beating, because we didn't show them any
    mercy..

    The Green Vulcan is .. at least covered up .. sitting out there on the
    mexican's
    patio.. Maybe I'll get 'er all cleaned up, when this wind lays .. I'm
    already
    sick of this crap.. Have a good one..

    That's one good thing about tube tires.. I've been real lucky about missing
    nails
    and such, so I haven't had all that many punctures.. The few that I've had
    over
    the years, though.. I could patch the tube and put a patch inside the tire..
    Ran the
    damned thing till it didn't have tread left..

    Yep... this is definitely truck weather. BTW.. Sorry we missed seeing the
    boy
    in Phoenix the other day.. Didn't even make it up that far.. Next time..

    Regards

    Peak again, I originally put all the pictures on one message and I suppose
    that was too large and it didn't post. I've now broke them down into 4
    posts.


    I thought Valkyries are holding their value pretty
    Well they used to hold their value but the demand went down when that kat in
    n.e. tx got one. Lot of people don't want to be associated ----

    i am winking ....louie
