Hi Don! I read your post in my Women on T's thread, too. Have your wife jump in, as this sure is a nice bunch of folks here, and I'm sure she'd enjoy it. I'm glad to hear she's enjoying her T!

Here's the link to the bag liner thread, and I posted a pic in there of what they look like:

Dawn,

Looked through the thread before asking, but where did you get the bag liners? I saw the post about the tank bag at Wally World, but didn't see anything about the liners. The Wife might like those for her T

skidro, I figured you'd be happy with those bags! *happy dance* I just love the fact that they are shaped perfectly for the T. They really are nifty with all those little slots for various items, aren't they? I put a little notebook in mine that has every mile logged since I got the T - also where we went, who we rode with, when I filled her up with gas, when we did any work on her. I did that with my VLX600, too, and it is so fun to go back and flip through the past rides. The first...

This is what my wife says to me also, but somehow I don't think it's a compliment.

I have the mind of a 15 year old, but some days my body makes me feel like I'm going on 100. *sigh*

Better you than me! Oh wait....I forgot I use to be 47 once. At least I think I was. It's been so long I've forgotten.

Thanks Gary, the hubby was just a bit wet when he got home, but none the worse for wear..

What the heck was it about basements being the 70's hangouts? LOL Our parents let us paint the basement rec room walls and floor black! Then we hung all those flourescent posters you're talking about, and we used to have blacklight parties with our friends down there, listening to all kinds of cool music. We hung all kinds of weird stuff down there, too - Spencer's kind of stuff...

Andy, I'd love to see it! (Jimi was incredible, wasn't he?) "Had some rather interesting pictures on my bedroom wall... definitely influenced by the culture of the late 60's and early 70's." I had all kinds of goofy art on my walls, too...hard to remember it, though, and I was a few years behind you...I was at the tail end of the hippie days, but still have that hippie-chick heart! LOLOL

Don't you think it's sad that we are ALL so creative and...

Dawn,

I used to draw when I was in high school (68-72). Had some rather interesting pictures on my bedroom wall... definitely influenced by the culture of the late 60's and early 70's.

In one picture was my two year old sister, with a set of headphones on... I think I was introducing her to the fine talents of James Marshall Hendrix.

Any way... I was sent to the guidance consoler who strongly recommended that I stop this silliness and pursue an...

My husband was delivering one of his armored vehicles to the Richmond SWAT team during the storms. None of the officers warned him about the tornados, and he drove right through Colonial Heights. I was frantically trying to get a hold of him to let him know about the WX. He had NO CLUE, but got home safely.

They got hit hard out there. Huge prayers up for the families who's lives have been uprooted.

I noticed some of them had an air breather on the side? and your discussion about your artwork( cracked me up) ! can always count on a smile when you look around the forum. I saw all the damage on news in virginia , I certainly hope all is ok! prayers go out to the people in the storms path.....skid

A whole lot of Tourers parked together.

PARKED? Don't tourers really look better in their natural habitat?

Well, I guess since she's pretty much complete (except for tweaking the seat rail, adding floorboards and installing the Kury ISO grips and...), it's time to post a pic of the Jasmine Wind (a.k.a. "Matty"). I've owned many bikes over the years, but this girl is the absolute BEST. Great for both in-town and highway, has plenty of torque when I need it, and slow speed manuevering is a breeze. What the heck am I telling YOU guys for? You all know the T is the best bike ever...
