General Discussion / The Town Car has company
« on: June 12, 2022, 02:41:24 PM »
The Town Car I purchased was spotless interior. I wanted to keep it dog hair free for friends and family. My plan when I drive is to take the Collies with me. I purchased a 2011 Crown Victoria  P-71 to take the Collies in. I purchased the car in Oklahoma and had it shipped up here last Sunday.

General Discussion / Sad day indeed
« on: June 12, 2022, 02:34:04 PM »
Yesterday Dan and his wife came by with supper and picked up the last of the running motorcycles and scooters.  Difficult seeing the Majesty and BMW GS'S being loaded up. The end of a Era,  I've been riding since I was 8 years old. Difficult to admit it's over. Still have the project scooters in the garage to deal with at a later time.

General Discussion / (Gasp) I'm going to look at a car tomorrow
« on: May 22, 2022, 01:55:46 AM »
I have drove pickups, SUV'S, motorcycles and scooters most of my life with a occasional car thrown into the mix. My pickup and SUV are just to difficult to get into until I get more strength and dexterity.  Tomorrow a friend and his son are taking me to Derby KS to look at a used 2007 Lincoln Town car.

It might still be a little bit before I drive but I'll be ready when the time comes.

General Discussion / Bikes are starting to trickle in
« on: May 20, 2022, 03:05:51 PM »
Bikes are starting to trickle in to my local dealer. Just not in sufficient numbers to maintain any type of inventory.  With high fuel prices  motorcycles/scooters are selling extremely well.  Dan's cycle just picked up another load of motorcycles/scooters from me to sell last Monday. Probably have one more load and will be cleaned out.  I'm sure $5. a gallon fuel is helping sells.

General Discussion / Selling like hotcakes
« on: May 13, 2022, 11:50:12 PM »
Dan's cycle has been selling my collection at a incredibly pace. I will lose a lot of money but nothing like the beating I'm taking on the stock market.  I guess the lack of new inventory along with high fuel prices created a hot market. It sure is bittersweet seeing them go, but hopefully people will get enjoyment out of them.  It might be a few years before / if I  can ride again and I will just purchase a new scooter when/ if the time comes.

Taking my therapy 3 times a week  taking my electric wheelchair on the senior bus, has a lift.

Please get out and enjoy this beautiful weather for a nice long ride, take care.

General Discussion / Dave Chappell's comedy club
« on: February 10, 2022, 12:33:51 PM »
Interesting article this morning about Chappell threatening to pull his investment in the comedy club if the city puts in affordable housing development.  The article clear as mud was in fox online.

General Discussion / Linked brakes might be my saving grace
« on: February 02, 2022, 04:35:42 PM »
Never thought this would enter the picture.  Due to my stroke I'm just starting to get some movement in my left hand and arm after 3 months.  If I can get my balance back and some limited use of my left arm  I might be able to ride a scooter someday. Linked brakes might compensate for limited grip in one hand.

Right now it's just a distant  dream, never say never.

General Discussion / Someone tried to steal my truck Friday morning
« on: January 30, 2022, 11:15:56 AM »
Had 3 people a driver lookout and another person in a white crossover with black bottom try to steal my truck.  If it wasn't for a neighbor who used a spotlight to scare them off they would have probably succeeded.  They punched out the drivers side door lock before being scared off. They were so quiet they didn't even wake the Collies. Couldn't make out the faces because of hoodies they wore on the video camera. I will look at another angle from a different video system today.  Freekin low life scumbags.

General Discussion / Quick update
« on: January 16, 2022, 05:57:22 AM »
Have some limited movement in my left leg. Last week had just a tiny bit of movement in my left hand for the first time. Will have physical therapy and occupational therapy twice a week for each one.

No other way to put it this sucks.  Progress is terribly slow . Sure miss riding the scooter on the nice days we've had. A wheelchair is a dang poor substitute for my scooters. I've got a lot of support from friends , I owe them big time.

I hope everyone is doing well .  Stay safe and keep the rubber side on the road.

I've started the process of liquidation of my collection.  If you go to Dan's cycle website you can see pictures of a few.

People s200 / Someone dropped the ball.
« on: October 14, 2021, 07:56:21 PM »
I bought a 200S this summer that needed a few parts. One of the things I needed was a new rear fender.  All the other parts came in but the rear fender so the dealer called Kymco USA for a update.  Kymco USA said it was never ordered but they had one in stock.  Went to dealer and picked it up today.

Stopped at Wallyworld and got a flu  and shingles vaccinations on the way to the dealer.

General Discussion / Neil has your RR been in contact with my Ford?
« on: October 14, 2021, 01:28:33 PM »
My  mechanic told me my old reliable Ford needs a new manual transmission.  I bought the truck used and have put 100k on it for a total of 250k miles. It came from a ranch in Texas so had a rough early life pulling livestock trailers.  Stopped at the dealer to inquire about a new truck for the low low price of 57k for a plain Jane model.

General Discussion / 380 X
« on: October 08, 2021, 10:54:34 PM »
I sure like the 380X adventure scooter and also the Honda 150 adventure scooter styling.  I'm almost tempted to sell a few scooter's and purchase a new  scooter, almost.
