Waiting, gotta go for a test ride (sans air cleaner)  | ||
| Rpm4x4 |
Fast? nah, I just wanted ice cream. Next challenge - your bike in front of a water fountain, gloves on the seat for a marker. | ||

3.....? Dude, I have a 5 right in front of my drive way!!  Are you gonna make me suit up to go two miles down the road  for this? After all, I did just get back from 250 miles of testing the Uly on a hot day. I have had my gear off for about an hour. | ||
| Rpm4x4 |
um, wheres your air cleaner? | ||
| Rpm4x4 |
It could be cultural/demografic differences like pop and soda but when I said water fountain I meant  Here we call that a drinking fountain. A misunderstanding like that never crossed my mind LOL.  Close enough for me, game on! | ||

Haha, I didn't even think of that. We don't have many of those water fountains here in the desert (would have been a lot harder to find!). Air cleaner is in the mail, had to go for a brief ride to check for leaks. Front pushrod base gasket is leaking, I knew I should have got the one piece ones when I had the rocker boxes off.  | ||

Heeeyyyy!! Fed...we were wondering where Elmo had got to! How in the blazes did he get to the other side of the ocean?? Make sure he makes it back safe at the end of his little holiday | ||

We call those Bubblers where I'm from...Wisconsin | ||
| Ulywife |
It could be cultural/demografic differences  I was rolling when I read/saw this! I would have posted a drinking fountain as well. | ||

 Just off the end of my favourite local twisties. It's a historic route. Next challenge, As a truck driver, I want to see your bike in front of a rig with an abnormal/oversize load. Extra bonus points for how unusual/big/abnormal it is. | ||

}It could be cultural/demografic differences "Bubbler" | ||
| Hmartin |
It could be cultural/demografic differences "Bubbler" ...and "holiday" (i.l.o. "vacation"). | ||

| Wolfridgerider |
Good job Ken!!!..... and then? | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I was hoping to be a hall monitor.... | ||
| Sekalilgai |
how about your bike by a school bus stop...bonus: have the schoolbus in the pic! it'd be interesting to see bus stops from around...the world? | ||
| Rpm4x4 |
Wow Ken, Im impressed. I would have never tried that! Your a little off arent you? | ||
| Sekalilgai |
.. and then? I just caught "Dude where's my car" last night .... and then...and then...and then!  yo Rpm...I'm kinda off? yeah...actually it was by pure chance since I was on my way to go get the WV-tag when I came across the double-wide going down the highway...pulled out the camera...and then the flash/run/skip thing kicked in....had to remember to keep breathing ! fun hmm so what was Vern saying? ETS? (Message edited by sekalilgai on September 15, 2009) | ||

Nice one Ken,  BTW what was the load? looks like a bit of a prefab house. | ||
| Etennuly |
BTW what was the load? looks like a bit of a prefab house. Good shot in the mirror Ken! That is one half of a double wide 'moble home'. I don't know if you have them in Europe. They prefab a home in a factory in two halves, tow it to the building site and bolt it and seam it together. Most are about 60 to 76 feet long and 16 feet wide and each half will weigh in at about 24,000 pounds. Most of the guys that tow these things in East Tennessee area are nuts! They will haul them down the highways at the speed limits or so and on the back roads you are lucky to keep up with the Uly in good form! It's the house in a hurry program. Some of the mountain top areas they stick those things, make you think they hauled it in with a helicopter! | ||

Cardboard Castles, we used to call them. | ||
| Etennuly |
Cardboard Castles, we used to call them. We can't call them that here....."cardboard" would imply that they are well built and structurally sound! Now they make them out of wood chips, saw dust, and resin. Which wouldn't be all bad if they used a water proof resin. | ||
| Sekalilgai |
That is one half of a double wide 'moble home'. Yup! they are a little scary if you encounter them heading toward you on a narrow country road.... | ||

Is it better for an adult male with a full beard, in a black riding suit, gloves, and boots, sitting on a parked motorcycle near a bus stop, to sit out in public watching the little children while waiting for the bus to show up, or would it be better to hide in the bushes some where so the kids aren't so scared? |
