    Hit Daytona for the 3rd time this event.
    I go too far and too fast to ride a Harley! If you see my bike on a trailer call 911. A Corbin fairing, bags, heated seat, V-Rail and back rest, PC3, PR Air Kit, V&H BR, 5" Chopper's Surplus Z Bars, DWG sound system, Indian front fender, mucho Kuryakyn and Yammy bling,

    Put on a quick 30 miles after the show. Tons of vehicles pulling up next to me and looking it over.

      Went out for about an hour, but the wind came up (and I do mean up...56 mph gusts), so I came back home and adjusted the belt, as it was starting to make some noise.

      Installed the wife's new floor boards today after daytona yesterday. It was nice to put a face to friends I have made on the forum. But today was a day of joy and sorrow. My oldest left to carry on a proud family tradition of naval service while my grandma passed away today after 83 years. Talk about a unusual day. I know she is proud of his service as we all are and I'm sorry to share bad news on the forum but just needed to vent a little.

      Put about 60 miles on today. From work and around since my car decided to die on me this morning.  Two hundred miles total since I got to Italy.  Ended up using my Raider to jump start the car.  At least spring is starting to show with the trees starting to bud.

      Saturday: Only rode to two stores to get PVC pipes and fittings to replumb my pool filter.

      Sunday: Poured down rain and believe it or not.. hail pretty much all day long.  There was no way I was going out. Unfortunately my son had to go out on his bike, but I think he managed to ride during a couple of periods when it was not raining.

      Today: It was much colder due to the storm.  Supposed to be a high of 55° today. I had to install my wire for my heated gloves this morning and glad I did.  I still have a bit of a chill going through me. It sprinkled on me a little in the last few miles, but luckily cleared enough to dry off before I parked.  My Raider is covered at the moment.

      beerguy973- I meant to pass on my condolences as well, but got side tracked.  Sorry for your loss, but at least she lived a pretty long life.

      Condolences and congrats, beerguy.

      Sounds like a pretty awesome date night. Can't wait till my oldest can ride with me.

      Saturday was my birthday (thanks to Bill for the birthday wishes  :cheers:), so we dropped the kids off at my parents house and I took my wife for a ride (on the Raider).  ;D  Took a few backroad highways around the outskirts of town. Ended up being about an hour ride. I was surprised she lasted that long on the factory pillion pad. It was one of the best rides I've been on just cause I had my lady hugging me the whole time. Temps were in the upper 60s-lower 70s all weekend.
      Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive.

      I missed Bill's birthday thread since I didn't get on all weekend, so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

      I spent my day fixing my pool filter so you could have a pool party to celebrate, but you never showed up.

      Didn't get a chance to ride all weekend so today, despite the wind and chance of t storms, I took it out.  Got about 10 miles down the road and it started getting dark.  Decided to take the short loop home when it started sprinkling.  Doing 85-90 all the way home and made it with just light sprinkles and a dry road.  Was home less than 5 minutes and it was raining so hard I couldn't see out the living room window.  The Raider out ran mother nature 8)
      You can run, but you will only die tired.
      From a place you cannot see comes a sound you will never hear.

      Couldn't find your house. The directions were confusing. I rode all over Chandler, Arizona before giving up and coming back to Texas.  :lbh: But it's the thought that counts.  :cheers:
