Re: Im Back
Hey Mike ... Glad you found your way back Looking forward to hopefully meeting you at one of the Bike Functions either here or abroad. Pullman City in Germany or Denmark is closer to you than the States or Canada. Maybe check them out ...

Long time no see Gila, welcome back, sorry for the bad times, glad things are improving.
Re: Im Back
Thanks Guys ,,, looking forward to this summer ,,,
Mr. Oldun ,,, you were right about alot of things changing ,,, wow ,,, hopefully it all verrs to the positive side ,,, Sad for Rick & Travis ,,, they were headed in the right direction, just a hard sell, I have numerous friends that are totally freaked out and love my bikes ,,, I try to sell them on these units ,,, they seem scared, I did manage to sell my ZZ4 to my good friend in the east and he loves it ,,, I would sell both mine tomorrow and order a new 2017 the same day ,,, but economy is tight right now. I want that new gas tank so bad ,,
Mr. Petite Moose ,,, I have entertained shipping my LS3 SS to Europe for a season. Actually checked into it and found that not only was it possible it was reasonably priced and fairly easy to accomplish ,,, I will be shipping my 502 for work to be done this next time home ,,, I'm thinking the bill could be substancual so may blow the budget for 2017 ,,, when are your plans for heading accoss the Atlantic.
Mr. Elvis ,,, looking forward to meeting up with you and the Mrs. again ,,, have you been back to Paris for the rally ,,, if my 502 is still east when it comes up I am hoping I'm off to be able to attend ,,, thats if they are still putting it on ,,, I hope so.
Regards Mike

Re: Im Back
Thanks Barry ,,, I'm seriously looking at a new bike ,,, there are so many things I like about the newer versions ,,, the cruise control ,,, brakes ,,, tranny ,,, and most of all the gas tank ,,, I have someone interested in my 502 ,,, if he wants to the Winters versus the Nesco he will pay extra ,,, I'm waiting for his reply ,,, I'm told I can get either the Winters or Nesco repaired.
Regards Mike
