Rog,
Great idea. We can watch her "grow up" right before our eyes. I'll also be interested in your transportation choices as I see a new pair of wheels in my garage in the near future. ;D
we used eagleone to get the bikes to you this summer
I've used EagleOne as well with good results. By the way, is the bike stopping at Jim's (HD-Dude) on the way home for some work? ;D

skipp the shipper and have it moved member to member till it gets to you. gotta be at least one every 100 miles
WOW
At this rate, 1/2 the site will have a few miles on it before Roger.
Hey Don, how bout a stop in Joplin before Calif?
Inspection just to verify he got his moneys worth maybe?

Can you send me a dealer tag?
:o :o :o :o :o
That would make things easier.
Probably complicated for you but easier for me.
Then I can take Nancy up there on the SERG and she could ride one of them back.
I think lilbear is going so that would be an official CVO ride.
But I have to tell you,
Nancy and I were talking and she asked,
"Honey is it true that to test out a bike the best way is to crank it and then duct tape the throttle wide open.
And after 10 minutes if it's still running then it's probably a keeper."
She has such great ideas!
My response was "YEAH I've heard of that, want to try it on the nana and see if it works?"
She had a big smile on her face! ;D So I'm thinking that meant yes! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Roger's garage has to be getting full what say we keep that Nanner on the right coast if he wants it bad enough he'll come pick it up. Hell he owes us a trip over here since he got sick before MV06. We could take turns riding it so the battery doesn't go dead. You keep it for a month, then I get it for a month. What you think?? :nixweiss:
Roger probably wishes he didn't have good friends like us that would do that for him.

We may have to negotiate about rear tire wear though, Chip was saying something about how the side of his garage makes for a great place to put the front tire on burnouts :nixweiss:
PS: The garage is getting a bit tight, I thought two garages that each hold at least three cars would be enough space, but that was before the snowblower and a few other additions.

d00d, keep an eye out, just had a call from Chip and he and his co-pilot (lilbear)are being followed closely by a nanner.I just talked to Chip and Craig they were at a dealership getting a rear tire put on the bike. He said it had tread when they picked up, but he doesn't know what happened to it. :confused5: Figured I'd probably want to ride (do some burnouts) when I got it so he was going to put a new one on. :nixweiss:
He says he can't shake it so I imgagine if you are going to see it it will be in the near future. Of course there is always the possibility that Chip won't want to chance loosing it to you so he may just head south to get as far away from you as he can.
Sounds like the bike is everything it was represented to be (maybe more). :bananarock: :bananarock: :bananarock:

2 (two) GPS' to get there and get back? What did Roger send you one just to make sure you didn't get lost :nixweiss:
And whats with the cheesy tag on the wire?
Duane
Used two just to see the difference in route options.
The Quest 2 gave a more direct route and the other tried to get us to go different directions.
Both were set on British American language so it was funny when they would say the same thing at the same time.
And Roger, just an FYI, I kept an eye on the nana and even running a hundred it was stable.
:2vrolijk_21:
It's to early for any wine to go with my cheesy tag. Thanks Duane, never noticed that before.
Duane,Where the settings in both units set the same? IE: Quickest route, no U turns, no toll roads, etc.? The slightest difference on any of those settings will produce different routes. I've also got a direct connection to the satellites and I was trying my best to get that Nanner to my home. ;D
It was a good thing that Chip had two GPS units. That one just kept trying to take us all over the place. For a while, it tried to take us to Dood's place and the other one straightened it out and got us back on course (sorry Dood). I guess a guy can never have too many GPS units or too much horsepower! As for the tacky tag, I think Chip is getting a kickback from Garmin for blatent representation on this site! LOL! It really was interesting to see the two units with identical settings trying to pick different routes.

Sooooooo, that being the case, I've got a proposal for Chip and Nancy. I will quit my job, move to NC and care for all your motorcycles in exchange for room and board, and an occasional new pair of H-D jeans. As curator of the C & N Harley Fleet, I get to ride any bike anywhere at any time for any reason. I get all expenses paid to any and all rallys you attend (to care for the bikes of course) and one two liter bottle of Maker's Mark per month.

Maybe I should come "take" some of those pics.Only if I'm there with you. Who knows you may need some "moderating". :nixweiss: :huepfenlol2:

Forgot to forward my mobile to the house this AM and Cindy is tele commuting today so we slept in for a change getting up at 6:30 rather than 5:15......
6:35 AM ring........................ring.......................crap, whose calling at this hour?
Hi, this is Dan from Traxxion, your bike arrived yesterday. (pause, my mind catching up)
Hey Dan great to hear from you :bananarock: :bananarock: :bananarock:
What did you want to go with on the bike?
So, it is on the bench as I write this. 13" AK 20's and BiTubo rears. Dan figures he'll have it done today!!!!!!
Now the pressure is on. Arrange a truck for the ride west or leave it there for the Copperhead ride in late March?
You may or may not know that my wife got layed off in the Macys realignment, she works until early May and then she's done. She's a bit concerned about it, I think she is more concerned about my spending so I may need to cut back on the extras, so it will impact my decision.
Decisions, decision.............................. :nixweiss:
I vote Copperheads, see you there. :2vrolijk_21:
It seems the logical thing to do HB. Maybe I could add the Porsche Driving Experience in Birmingham...........I have a gift certificate to that. On the other hand that would just add more time away (4 days with travel). Check the track video
http://www.porschedriving.com/tracklap_hi.htm
I'll be checking flights this weekend and working on the schedule possibilities.
At least it would be a nice place to stay for the school, Renaissance Hotel at Ross Bridge Golf Resort.

Update: Just checked, bummer it could have worked:
Performance - April 1-2, 2008, Sold Out Tuesday-Wednesday - Please call 888-204-7474 for Wait List
Damn, Rog...I could have taken you out and got you drunk, and fed you some good food too. :(
Traxxion conversion is complete and the dilemma now is shipping home or Copperhead Lodge in late March.
It was 57 degrees here yesterday and the call to ride is strong. Got my True Track in the mail yesterday and my OCD is kicking in hard with Spring just around the corner.
Daytona will create a lot of east west shipping for bikes and I may be able to hitch a ride. If that doesn't work out I most likely will try to leave the bike in GA until late March, otherwise I'll ship it home and look forward to Sedona I think.
Everytime I bring up a week in GA with Cindy, she reminds me she is unemployed in a couple of months. No amount of grinding will change her attitude on recreational spending until she finds work. Let's hope it's soon, I have plans to instigate.
I vote Copperhead!
Tell Cindy that it will get her mind of the job situation.
How many chances will you get Roger to meet us over here on the right coast?
Besides if Nancy See's you on the naner then she will finally believe it isn't mine and I'm just not hiding it till I can smooth it over with her. SEE, you would be helping me!
Seems like a no brainer to me!
:nixweiss: :nixweiss:
That's my vote as well. I'm working on it. You didn't drink "ALL" of the tequila down there did you?
Maybe I can impose on Tbone to pick it up and then his wife will think it's his and you might get off the hook with Nancy a month earlier :nixweiss:
If (when) I get there, you have to promise I can watch you drink the GS, I'll stick with my Crown.
I had a bad week with some Tequila one night a long time ago and swore it off. OK just one shot. :drink:
There's a song..Tequila makes my clothes fall off.
I like Tequila, but, it's made me do some crazy things. If i'm drinking Tequila, I shouldnt be responsible for my own actions. It's one thing to get drunk, and another thing to get so drunk I am ashamed the next day.

Mmmm, racing isn't a conflict, at least not the date.....he noted "Our first Race is April 19, at South Boston, Va"
Put up a poll
1) Roger should go to Copperhead.
2) Roger should ship his bike home from Traxxion
3) Roger should go to Copperhead and then ride the bike home.
4) Roger who?
Roger,
How many chances like this does a person get? The bike is in the correct location and you are planning on shipping it one-way anyway, so take full advantage of the present location and get your butt to Copperhead! If it's Crown you want, I'll bring it along! Of course, I will be bringing Tequila as well. The bike is presently sitting a stone's throw away from some of the best riding this great country has to offer. It has been fitted with the finest suspension components for riding in this fine location. Only thing missing is ........ ROGER! It would be a shame, no, a crime for you to pass on this opportunity. It's almost like winning the lottery! I guess we'll be seeing you at Copperhead huh?

In the wee hours of the morning 3 March, a large vehicle slid into Woodstock, Georgia with one objective in mind.
It was on a quest to abscond with a yellow motorcycle before anyone could get in its way.
Told that the crew was equipped with the latest stealth masking devices for a Kenworth, they were successful in locating and acquiring the target. Within minutes they swept into the world headquarters of Traxxion and whisked the Nanner away.
At this writing the whereabouts of the motorcycle or the stealth Kenworth are unknow to this writer. :nixweiss:
Dagnabbit!!! Now what am I going to ride in N. Ga if I don't get mine done in time? :nixweiss:
:indian_chief:
Congrats, Roger! Now, what about the toolbox? :nixweiss:
I was in IA last weekend . . . . . . still ridiculously cold and snowy there. :-\ :oops: :earmuffs:
Mmmm, be on the lookout, maybe it'll be in a town near you.............. :nixweiss:
Is it really finally coming home? If so that's great news. Even though I'll assume it means you're not riding in Georgia in a few weeks. If you don't get your tool boxes home soon, however, you really will have to let me go liberate them and keep them warm here for a couple years for you.
Roger is a wienie for not going to CHL.
No other discussion necessary.
He wimped out!
And we were all looking forward to seeing him.
Must be to good to come to the right coast!
WUSS!
>:(
A moment that continued for a couple of weeks each time I brought it up. So, discretion being the better part of valor, I took the path of least resistance.
Like Chip said; weenie. Ok, smart diplomatic weenie.
Yep, big weenie for sure.
(maybe this pic should be in "enough is enough, or what sits in your garage)
That's a painful picture. It's sad when a guy wrecks his weenie.
Does the "3 second rule" still apply?
Mmmm, be on the lookout, maybe it'll be in a town near you.............. :nixweiss:
Yep, big weenie for sure.
Roger, didn't you learn your lesson in Nelson to stay away from ditch. ;)
Oh, that hurts........... ::)
"The devil made me do it" ;D
Mmmm, be on the lookout, maybe it'll be in a town near you.............. :nixweiss:
Keep me posted when it arrives in Dago so I can do my part to get it to the next stop

We'll have to have a gathering of the Crown Society in Sedona. :huepfenjump3:Not a member of this society in my normal life, but when I lived in Canada, rye was the beverage of choice.
Not a member of this society in my normal life, but when I lived in Canada, rye was the beverage of choice.
I mean, it goes with soda, seltzer, water, ice, orange juice, coffee, ice cream, tomato juice, cranberry juice, tonic, friends and enemies alike. If you folks are having a society meeting, please holler at my room.
It's in Ogden, with it's SE Cover in the right saddle bag ::)
Actually Roger,
The S/E cover bag is in the right saddlebag!

Here's the email from Tbone after dropping it off at Traxxion:
Rog,
I got the bike over to Traxxion this afternoon and left it with Dan. It might be a good idea to give him a ring tomorrow to touch base. The keys, etc are in the tourpak and the cover is in the right saddle bag.
Talk to you soon,
Bob
But did Bob look inside the cover bag or just assume the cover was in it?
WELL?
Mmmmm, now that is a DIE lema....................... :nixweiss: Chit :-\
Oh well, that's what shipping insurance is for ain't it?
Society of the Crown http://www.crownroyal.com/
I only have a couple (my Dad likes Crown) but those bags make the most fantastic dusting cloths. Whatever the beverage of choice is in the parking lot at Sedona, that will be the one I hope to cheers everyone with after I get off my motorcycle from riding with you great folks.
They were giving away CR velvet bags at COSTCO the other day. I looked at the young lady, and said " I've got enough of those kicking around the house I should be the one giving them away " " How about you give away what comes in the bag instead ? " :D
B B
But did Bob look inside the cover bag or just assume the cover was in it?
WELL?
And did you know that Mrs. Tbone is quite an artist?
She can paint an eagle on anything!
Even cloth!
Right Ilene?
:2vrolijk_21:
Roger-
It's been a long time coming in getting her home to it's new stablemates. Sorry to hear of the mishap. At least they are on it and you are taking it well. Like you stated, could have been worse and should be an easy part to replace . Looking forwards to some pictures and the ride report. :bananarock: Bob
Just a scratch or gouge? Nothing busted? And you're not paying for it? There's real stuff out there to worry about; that doesn't even register. Have fun with the bike. Glad you got it home finally. Put a coat of wax on that replacement bag in six or eight weeks :drink: :2vrolijk_21: .Well said! Enjoy the bike don't sweat the small $h!t :huepfenlol2:

OK gang, it's a good news/bad news day in the Great Northwest.
First the good news is the Nanner will be here tomorrow...............the bad news is the dispatcher for HogHaulers (Debbie) called in a panic today and spoke to my GM.
It seems that when they got to the base in Portland there was a truck coming north so they were putting the nanner on that truck.
As I understand it when they undid the tension on one of the tie downs..................snap :nixweiss:
Evidently it took out the side of a saddlebag, leaving a big scratch. She's devastated (me not so much).
Sure I'm disappointed, but I can't let the mishap spoil th excitement of getting the bike here.
Thank goodness it was a bag and not the tank or something. So I'll be ordering a bag evidently :(
For now it just matches the SEUC with the Nelson scratch somebody put in it. :bananarock:
Roger,
So glad that the Nanner is coming home tommorrow! Sorry to hear about the little mishap, but glad to see that you are taking it in stride. Anxious to see those pictures of you with your new to you bike! Seems like forever since the day Chip and I picked it up. Long time coming for sure, but a little dissappointed that you didn't take advantage of the proximity to Copperhead for the GTG at the end of this month. Really was looking forward to meeting you and seeing that smile on your face with the Nanner all prepped for the mountain with the AK-20's in place. Enjoy the new ride and keep us posted!
Keep well,
Craig
Roger
Mind you, this is just my $0.02, but were I you, and the damage is only on the surface (nothing broken through the ABS) I'd be more inclined to take the bag to a quality painter and have it repaired so the color match is perfect. Ordering a new bag from the MoCo could give you something a shade darker. You're talking a 3 year old vehicle that has to have some effect of sun etc on the paint color. Maybe only a 1/10th of a shade lighter, but nonetheless noticeable if you buy a brand new bag. Anyway, I am sorry to hear this as I remember when you bought the bike I was really impressed with the overall condition.
Just my $0.02 as I said.
Roger
Hope that saddlebag wasn't the side with the cover in it.
Check it carefully, they might have used the cover to clean up the mess.
Maybe insurance will buy a new cover also!
:nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:
Too bad about the nick on the bag but looks like it should be an easy fix. Nice bike Rog.
Cheers, Chris (Moe) :bananarock:
Congratulations Roger. Wow - it is finally home, what a long trip. I know you are very happy. Look forward to seeing it in Sedona. How many nanners will that be?
Rog, glad to see the Nanner finally made it home. Sorry to hear about the bag and I'm sorry it didn't work out for you to join us at CHL.
Bob
He's got those ugly (to me) saddlebag guards on it.
Roger, looks good! :2vrolijk_21: There's something about them yeller ones! :bananarock: The scratch sorta sucks, but like you say you can still get the factory painted parts for that. I wouldn't worry too much about a mis-match . . . as I recall that is a fairly low mileage bike and it still looks very fresh and well cared-for, so a new bag from Harley should be dead-on. Enjoy the bike, and I look forward to hearing some riding impressions/comparisons between it and theSEEGSEUC.
Congrats Roger Glad to see it's finally made it's way to you . Your painter should be able to fix that using a touch up kit, wet sanding, some clear coat and buffing. Way less than I expected. Please let us know when you've had a chance to ride it how it performs, especially the Traxion Dynamics/Bitubo upgrades.
And you know this is something Chip and I have been talking about. Recent purchases of used Screamin Eagle CVO model H-D's by members of this site with one or two ponies already in the stable. I love the CVO bikes as does Chip and well, pretty much everyone on the site which is why it exists. As a matter of circumstance, I don't currently have one which is ironic because I was the 1st one in my group of friends and co-riders to own one and have owned four. We'll fix that soon. But anyway, the point that Chip and I were discussing is how it's great that these wonderful machines are being bought up by CVO site members who will maintain them with pride and affection and as such, 20 years from now there will still be many prime examples of these machines. So hopefully we'll see this trend continue with some more SERG purchases here on the site, some SEEG purchases and of course the V-Rods, Fatboys, Dynas, FXR's and the multitalented Road Kings. As the d00derator would say " It's All Good "
B B
Too bad about the nick on the bag but looks like it should be an easy fix. Nice bike Rog.
I thought the whole side of the bag might be damaged. Are you going to get a replacement bag or try to fix that one?
I'll let the transporter pay for a new bag, but I'll most likely take the original to www.paintbygene.com for repair.
If it turns out ok, I got the bike shipped for no charge. :bananarock: :bananarock: :bananarock:
Yeah, they're gonna poop when the find out the price of a new bag. :shocked2: You'd have thought, being a motorcycle shipping outfit, something like that would have been avoided. :nixweiss: At least with a bag, there's no downtime with the repair. :2vrolijk_21:
They were truly upset about it. I have moved a great number of cars with them all nearly or more than $100k and never had a problem. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Actually kind of glad it was my ride and not a customer's.Roger, since I've met you it means even more to me, but you have the absolutely best attitude. Taking it in stride - so to speak. You bought the bike months ago, it has been passed to a couple of folks we know here before being put on a truck to get a couple of transport handlers to move it from this truck to that truck. This bike has more miles - figuratively speaking - being towed than it ever had being self propelled down the road. You are a great guy and I am glad to know you. I would have been p1ssing and moaning about this. I am proud again to know you.
After they picked up the bike they decided to swap it to a different truck when they got to Portland. The more times they change trucks the bigger the chance of a problem.
It'll be fine, like you say, no down time for riding. Especially with three bikes.

True track is here and I just ordered a Clearview 9.5 smoke with recurve. Now the wait begins :o
I was also thinking that when I get the bag painted by Gene he can paint the low profile mirrors and my Street Glide fender extension :2vrolijk_21: :bananarock:
Damn Roger, Traxion Dynamics front end, Bitubo rear shocks, True Track ; that Banana's gonna handle like one of those Porsche's you sell.
Are you going with the complete Street Glide piece that has the built in extensions that cover your saddlebag gaps AND the nice chrome piece that goes over the LED at the bottom ? That'll be a sweet lookin ride Roger
B B
Going all yellow B B, but yes with the extensions and with the optional brake/run combo LED. :bananarock: :bananarock:
Gonna be interesting to see how long before you pop for a set of Extreme Engineering 18 x 3.5 wheels for this baby Roger.
By the way, what about brakes ? Hawg Halters , PM's . stockers chromed out ?????
What else you got planned ?
By the way, for what it's worth, so far you're doin everything right IMO
B B
mmmmm, lookie here what I found......................
Looks great! You gotta be relieved to have it home! How do you compare the ride to the ultra?
Damnit Nancy!
You forgot to take it out!
>:( >:( >:(
Hopin' to get out on it any day, I'll report back.
Have you cranked it Roger?
She might have gotten the pistons instead of the cover?
Pistons, cover, , , has kinda the same ring!
;)
Getting ready for the spring weather and decided to put a new battery in the nanner.
While doing that I came across some touch up paint in one of the bags, so I worked on the transportation damage a bit. Got rid of the black scratches pretty much, light compound will eliminate any of the edges that are left.
CarBrite glaze and a rag, not much pressure and I managed to clean up the mishap pretty good for now. Stll more work needed to fill the big mark that is actually a small chunk out of the bag. But here's the first run that didn't take more than a few minutes.
You must have missed the silver then ;)
Saw that, but my boat didn't have any metalflake in the yellow so I left it.
Better be glad Ilene didn't see it, she likes shiny stuff!
:2vrolijk_21:

Seriously, right now, if I had the money there is not a single Harley-Davidson model I would rather have than an 05 Banana SEEG. And believe me when I was finally to the point where I could say it was done it would be a sight to behold. You're within $4k of where I'd go with your bike.
B B
Holy crap Batman :batman: was the seat on my SEUC as big a piece of crap as the SEEG seat.
No not that the seat is bad, it just won't work with my A$$.
I still don't have license plate (tomorrow) but I ran the bike down the street without it to my storage building where I had Mugnam, Naitram and Free's bikes stored for the Nelson ride. We're planning on setting up the Featherlite with the Condor's for the run to Sedona and we wanted to get the bikes in one place to load the trailer and set the chocks.
Just that short run convinced me I am screwed again. New seat in my future.
After getting my SEUC seat rebuilt I had forgotten just how cramped the sitting position is on a stock bike. Maybe it's just me but I need to sit farther back in the seat than the stock seat allows. So the Nanner is going to Seattle before Sedona for a seat rebuild. Either that or it will be in Sedona with a SEUC seat.
Dang, as I recall that was not an inexpensive trip to Seattle the last time I made it either. Oh, which was a week before Cripple Creek. These GTG's are spendy enough without setting up a new bike for them.
Hey Roger
ALIGATOR BOB ALIGATOR BOB ALIGATOR BOB

I hear you, for Sedona I am going with the SEUC on the SEEG and see if I like the set up.

Roger. I had to replace the stock seat on my Nanner. It was by far the worst motorcycle seat I have ever sat on. Guys who have the 2004 and the 2005 say the seat on the 2004 is way better. Go figure. I bought the Harley Sundowner plain for a Road King and it looks pretty good. It will get the true test on the way to Sedona but it's got to be better than he stock one.
Cheers, Moe

The best (by a mile) stock seat Harley-Davidson ever made is the one that came on the 2003 Screamin Eagle Road King. It is very comfortable. I don't know the part number, but if you can score one of these seats either new or used, you're golden AND, they fit the 04 and 05 SEEGs perfectly.Agreed. I've got three other seats for mine, and none are as comfortable as the stock one. It fits my arse perfectly, better than a Corbin...better than a Mustang...

I'm lower with the new seat and since I had the 13 AK and Bi tubos done it helps as well as I am back a couple of inches and we eliminated the backrest as I am not making long runs on this bike other than two up.
We also added width to the BSR section and both rider and passenger have gel pads.
Rog,
I hope for your sake she doesn't read this :o
It's ok to think of things like this for our sweeties, but heaven forbid we tell the world about it.
