How are ya set for brass?

Could he hacker related, or could be they see the housing market about to crash.

It has been a good reloading candidate since the milsurp ammo supply dried up years ago.

Give ‘em a try. They don’t taste like chicken, they taste like a jerk or blackened seasoning. I never liked much of the fad stuff either, but these are really good.

Those are mighty good.

If you haven’t tried ‘em, grab a bag. They’re pretty dang good.

Turns out I ended up with one of the few gov jobs where I work my azz off. Good thing is I’m leaving it in September. There are a lot of slackers in gov.

The end pieces make passable buns.

Now old Dad needs a bike.

Kentucky Legend makes a much better hot dog than Nathan’s.

That's the Sport. The big one is a whole different animal.

Umm, NO!

Thanks again, guys. He’s ran a tank of gas through it today, and so far, still unscuffed. I think he’s getting a feel for it.

I've seen a bunch of Sports. This was the first big one, and I've been looking.

Thanks for the report. Looks like I now have something else to pizz away money on.

I actually saw a mew Bronco in the wild today! Anybody else seen one yet?

You are correct, sir! LOL! It looks like somebody put a dirt bike motor on a Sportster. I was surprised when I saw it had a belt drive and not chain and sprockets.

Yeah. When we got back home last night, he rode it around the school parking lot with a big grin on his face. It didn't seem like he had any problem with it.

We all had to learn. Thank God I didn’t start with a Gold Wing! The natural progression is a bicycle, then a mini bike, then a dirt bike, and finally a street bike. At least that’s how I did it.

Thanks for the advice. We picked him up a bike last night. It’s an 06 Suzuki Boulevard S40, which is just a newer Savage 650. The big one cylinder engine is different from what I’m used to. It’s nice, and has 2500 miles on it. I thought $2k was a fair price, considering what I’ve looked at. It’s black and sharp. It has mew brakes, new tires, windshield, saddlebags, sissy bar bag, phone holder, new battery, and a fresh oil change. It also came with a helmet, Clymer manual, factory manual, and two oil filters. It was owned and ridden by an older man who decided to get a bigger bike. I rode it home; about 70 miles last night. Ran great. I think it’ll do.

They aren’t dead, they just aren’t growing much. I think a good rain would help.

My older son took a riding course, and my younger son intends to as well. It probably wouldn’t hurt for me to take it with him. That is good advice.

He’s 5-10/ 5-11, and a buck thirty soaking wet. I’m inclined to steer him toward a Honda 500 CBR, and looking at used prices, probably a new one, although it’s a bit beyond what he’s wanting to spend. What do you all think of them?

I think a Honda 230 xr would be an awesome place to start. I told him he might even want to keep it for trail riding after moving up to a dedicated street machine.

Mine was nearly mint except for a tear in the seat. A local elderly lady who did upholstery repaired that for a song. I bought it for the princely sum of $150. My first bike was a Kawasaki 100. Might have been a KZ. Then came the CB 360. My next bike was a Yamaha 175 Enduro, followed by a 360 Enduro. Those were awesome! Next up was a 79 Honda 125 CR Elsinore. It was FAST! Then A Yamaha 850 Special, complete with fairing and cassette player. My mother thought it was too big for me, so I sold it and bought a 79 Sportster. It looked smaller. Drenched in chrome, blue dot coffin tail light, and straight drag pipes! I loved that bike! Wish I still had it. Sadly, my wife doesn't share my history and love for all things with engines and two wheels. I'm retiring in September, and like it or not, a nice Harley or Indian will be my retirement present to myself. Maybe she'll adjust.
