    Heated grips and heated seat. That way when you stop for a bio-break what you're grabbing and what you are grabbing it with are pre-warmed. :thumbsup:

    Bike has heated grips but I rarely use them. Cold air isn't hitting my palms......Heated seat could be nice.....

    Good Morning Everyone, Have a Great Day!


    Did my good deed for the day I was coming home from a treatment and gym. I noticed in the rear view mirror a car ( KIA) on fire underneath the car I was stopped at the traffic light and decided to brace for impact figuring it would have no brakes. The 2 older ladies were oblivious to the fire. Took a light hit moved my truck ahead so I it wouldn't engulf me, then got out to try and get people out. As I was doing that the police must have been following but parked further away and got to them before I could. They still had no clue as they were trying to forcibly get them out. It wasn't till they got them out that. The got a clue as to what was happening. There were 2 small explosions as it became ingulfed.

    Interesting developments went home for a few minutes and came back to see if they needed help. Everything I suggested was told to them by the police but they were going to wait for their husbands who were coming from 300 miles away. Blows my mind. How helpless some people are. I'm not the smartest person on the block but when I'm driving or doing things I'm usually aware of what is going on around me 97% of the time.

    Afternoon all:
    Welcome @Essayons, yup, first fill the cooler and stay out of Mikes chair! Good group on here, post away and pics. are always welcome.

    :wave: Sue!
    Good to hear that the pups are doing well.

    Wondering where MQQSE and "6" are, I'm sure they're OK but miss them posting. :(

    :annoyed: Noticed a limb on the bow is delaminating! I had a new set of limbs put on it awhile back because of a splinter, now this is something different, shouldn't be a problem getting the limbs replaced (they replace them in matched pairs), and Excalibur is known to have one of the best customer service policies and warranties on their products.
    I did buy an extra set of limbs for it, if needed I could bolt them on but would rather wait for the new set from them before doing anything, either way I will still have a spare set of limbs.

    It looked worse after the fire got knocked down. I talked with my brother retired firefighter, he said car fires are something that aren't normal when driving. They usually have other have factors. Like being in a garage when it goes up.

    I’ve seen plenty of cars and trucks go up while driving. Had a car go up 2 weeks ago going to my boys house.
    Wait till you see an electric go up. Quite thrilling when you know you can’t stop it..

    It's morning. Howdy.
    A hot cuppa and a dogie laying next to me. Small fire going.

    Found the expanded mesh in my junk for vent covers and found I can mesh the air intake for filter too.
    New tires coming.
    Life is good.

    :pccoffee: Good Morning Poarch Pals & Sue! No hangar time yesterday - went home not feeling well right after I got there. Had a 4 hour nap. Decided to get mowing out of the way when I got up, and took twice as long as normal. Ugh bug I guess.

    Got a message that Col. Terry moved my old 2800 back. Back to real life!
