37 days to the Ride
Ordered another upgrade for my bike today. I'm adding Rush Performance pipes, a Stage 1 "Super Tune" and a Stage 1 Air Cleaner. The pipes will not only give me that "throaty" rumble of a Harley but with the new tuning set up provide improved gas mileage. That's what they told me anyway; I think the improved mileage comes from my wallet being considerably lighter than it was before I went in there. Oh well, Pat will think I'm safer by being louder.

Yeah, now instead of slipping on by the sleeping bear and moose, they'll here you coming a mile away LOL You'll probably scare the natives too thinking that a P-51 is on strafing run.
ReplyDeleteYou must be older than me. Now if you said a Huey gunship I would immediately know what you were talking about.
ReplyDeleteIf you go to You tube and searh for "Rush Exhaust" you will hear them. Not obnoxious but with a little character to them.
Well, if it wasn't for the fact that I am so abysmally cheeeep or worried about the psycological implications of my bike not sounding manly enough (which it does), I would get the Rush Pipes. They do sound good. I hadn't heard about the extra mileage though.. Most of them lose mileage.
ReplyDeleteThey generally lose mileage because of engine reving to hear the pipes.
ReplyDeleteErected the tent today so the Grandkids could sleep out this weekend. Tent looks good and should function as advertised lol
This time next month I should be getting close to picking up Blue along the side of the road somewhere in Florida. Owen said he'd call and let me know what milemarker he set the bloke off at. There is a house of ill-repeut(sic) in Georgia, so I've been told, on I-95. Do any of you suggest that I should drag that Aussie thru it prior to our trip West? He might be easier to deal with once he gets his ashes hauled by one of them there Georgia country "girls".
If I did that I imagine my "Ball & Chain" would suggest I travel West and keep on going. I have strick orders not to lead her "ChoirBoy" astray. A point to ponder.....
Hmmmmm. I wonder what the odds are that you folks are going to make it to SEA on schedule? I probably should pick up a copy of "Wiring Bail Money For Dummies," don'cha' think??

We'll be there. Might walk funny after spending 5/6 days on those bikes but it's all going to be worth it. In slightly over a month those two vagabonds will be at my house and we'll get this adventure underway.
ReplyDeleteIt is rumored that there is a place along I-75 where young women of the female sort, take their clothes off, dance on your table AND serve grits, burgers and the like. Some truckers say that dancing isn't the only service performed, but I don't know which ones are strangers to the truth & which aren't.
