Huh?  What just happened?  laughingdp


"Scrat; I remember about the other boat but I've gotten sidetracked now on sailing.  Maybe Roll Eyes   This summer sounds like it's going to be as bad as last year's so I'm thinking being out on the lake somewhere instead of holed-up in the house for three months would be a better idea...

That or build my Cool-Suit/Forced Air Helmet design for motorcycles.  All I need are panniers that will hold a couple of 50 gallon ice chests and I'm good to go.

Luckily you have a Triumph Sprint to experiment on  Evil  A computer fan, some flex tube, and a hole saw should do it  Grin

Sad news story. How many times have some of you been on 455 and through that turn? Me? About a 500 times over the years. Main point of story... no helmets. bang head Tongue Roll Eyes Sad.

Wow, so sad.  I feel sad for their loved ones  I've lays slowed down on that turn.  It's tricky for sure, no run off.

My internet is not cooperating this morning... Only the picture to this story loads but not the text.  It looks like a corner that is east of Anna going towards Hwy 75.  Is that correct?  And if it is, wasn't this section recently repaved?  Used to be really chopped up and full of pot holes.

I was thinking it was that first turn west of 75 once you cross over - long straight then a tight righthander - had some issues there myself during daylight - night wouldn't be fun at all.  Sad

That's the turn I assume it is. The story said it was west of 75. Heck, who knows, a deer (or other critter) might have run out in front of them. Since he lived and worked near there I would guess he knows 455 pretty well and the police didn't seem to think speeding was an issue. I guess no one will ever know.

a big  chug and  Vino! for UnionJill & Webspoke for helping me with my trailer - that's right trailer for the Harley.  If you were married to Mrs. E you'd know she needs a pair of boots for every outfit so I broke down and bought a trailer.  laughingdp
Between an electrical engineer, crafty mechanic and an idiot mechanic (me) we worked it out.  They were gracious enough to allow a Harley into their garage.  Shocked

That was tough, it took two beers and reading glasses drink to get through.  So many wires for such a little trailer!  Lucky it worked as it was dark when you headed home.  Before you get any ideas, we do not work on these....
