Not that you could tell the difference between 119 and 123.

If it makes you feel more like a man, my parents are both 60 years old and we rode one 750 mile day (17 hours) back home across Kansas, a 99 degree wind-ridden wasteland, and we didn't complain

See you at the next rally!

I got lucky coming home from Albuquerque. Highest temp going across northern Texas was 96 for a few hours. Wasn't horrible, but wasn't the most pleasant thing either. Ended up stopping a couple times to water up and shortened my ride.

I hope we get to see all the west coast guys at the next rally, whenever and wherever it is.

How was it? Should have eaten up the trip.

A bent shift fork means a tear down, no?

Mexican food, Rocky Road Ice Cream, and beer gives me the nasty farts and Tom had to let the window down and I think one time it got up to about 72* in the truck.

It killed the hell out of a fkn Fly that we picked up somewhere outside of Wichita.

With that combination, I wouldn't trust a fart.
