Bryson City, North Carolina to home in Illinois. On the Goldwing. Today. Left NC after breakfast. Went through Deal's Gap on the way. 640 miles total. 50 miles ridden in the rain. Made it home in 11 hours and 15 minutes. Stopped 5 times total I'm tired, but still functioning.

Had a '99 Park Avenue with the 3800. Was in the shop for something else. Mechanic was out driving it to check the other repair, and that's when the intake manifold gasket decided to let go... which is a known issue that affected so many of these engines. Started blowing white smoke out the...

When someone with Erie Insurance hit me (their fault), it was a nightmare. Had to get a lawyer involved. Erie is no better than any of the rest of them.

I work with a guy who sets the emergency brake every time he parks the car.... and it's an automatic.

I've never washed my microfiber towels in hot water. Room temperature water, no dye/no scent detergent, never with anything else.... just microfiber towels.

I'm fairly certain, from what I've seen so far, if I use SuperTech Synthetic and change it every 5,000 miles... that I'll never need anything different as far as oil.

I haven't been to a movie theater in decades. Probably not missing out on much either.

The little house / guest house would be all that I'd need...
