adventurous outings
« on: December 06, 2012, 08:05:13 PM »
As i blurted out at the last meeting, I am negotiating the purchase of a GL1100i in Halifax. It is my intention to fly over, give er' a good service, and ride er' home. I am expecting the best of weather with no difficulties of the mechanical nature. I still have to decide whether i fly over in mid-May, to return by June's end. Or i fly in mid-July and return ??? when i get here. If there are any others out there interested in such an adventure, there are certainly more decent deals on bikes in Halifax as you are reading this. This be the one I am working on.

Interesting sort of a dental chair thing you have going on there in the back... is yarding condemned teeth out of hapless local yokels another skill that comes naturally to the intrepid crane operator?  A way to offset the costs of touring?  Is there room for a big hammer in the top-box there, to further constrain anaesthetic costs, while encouraging quick payment, and addressing delinquent accounts?

I do like how the Kenworth exhaust is offsetting the weight of the dental chair.  You should be able to wheelie it all the way home.  What is the swimdeck for?
I live with fear and danger everyday, but sometimes I leave her at home and go motorcycling.

  The pipes would actually keep it from wheelieing over at least. Only thing that scares me is that tow bar. If it pulled anything heavy for any length of time clutch issues may ensue on your way home. Avoid the wheelies. Other than that it looks good for a garbage barge/ old man's bike. CHEERS.

Its the Kawmeister... he can take it.  Anyone else would have been approached more delicately.  Afterall, Kawmeister named his last barge the "Starship Enterprise."   He has a sense of humour and is among friends here.  If Russell and Hans hadn't already got the best digs in, I would have come up with something.

Peace & Grease, Dennis

Had a chat with Paul yesterday and he was indicating that riding across the prairies  wasn't something he was looking forward to. But looking at the pipes if he was able to do sustained wheelies some of the farmers would probably hire him to run furrows for their crops. And adding a milk crate to the passenger seat woould allow for extra weight.

Well, I wanted to say it wasn't a swim platform but rather the mount for the tri-spar rotating crane, but Old-duc put me off...

Well boys, this is the day i leave for halifax. I am looking forward to exploring a piece of canada that is new to me. Also looking forwrd to connecting with friends who live on the east coast. Should be an awesome trip. wished you all could be there. I must confess, if it wasn't for being a member, I may have not had the confidence in myself as a rider to take on such a journey. I look forward to returning and discussing the trip with you's. (over a few beer and steak of course). cheers till then.
