Received a call this morning that Hubbard was out of surgery and the operation went well and he was headed to the homestead. Also heard that the Valdez err i mean OLD MAUDIE is in Salzbury receiving similiar treatment to Hubbard.

Hey Hubbard in between the pain killers, you might consider calling down to the shop while the Valdez is in for treatment and ask them to change the brake fluid for you. Once every 9 years is prolly good preventative maint ya know.

Could you be any more cryptic, Harry? LOL

Anyway, didn't know anything was up with Carl or Ol' Maudie, but glad they're both getting the attention they need. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery to both.

Maudie had an issue with the rear brake master cylinder losing it's prime while riding at MV.

Thanks for your concern, numnuts. I'd say the trip to Daytona this coming Feb. will be Ol' Maudies's last trip there. I just want to bust your a$$ before I put the Ol' Girl in retirement, and get my New CVO. Brake fluid is definitely my fault. However, I have never changed brake fluid in any Bike I have ever owned, since 1967. When did this become PM, Einstein? Later--HUBBARD

Thanks, Brian! Good thing they didn't go out last year, huh? That would've been sad singing and coffee drinking. Done a lot of WFO ridin' in my day, but last year in MV was the ride of my life, as far as runnin twisties and the Big Road, WFO. If memory serves, it was me and you in the front at the end of the day. Maudie was sloberin' when we got back to the Hotel. BTW, how's Crazy Joe? He was a blast! Later--HUBBARD

Your memory is spot on, unless you consider Pete bein' "in the front" whenever he went flyin' past us as he missed exit 20 (MV) off of I-40W!

We musta been doin' somethin' right pullin' Crazy Joe on the Duc!

He's doing real good and hated not being able to come along this year. He asked if you were there and wanted to know how you were doing. I'll pass along the news about the surgery and see if I can get him to chime in here.

Get well, friend.

Not so lucky, Joe. My ex-engine builder, Neil Taylor, stripped the bolt between the cylinders, and didn't bother to fix it when it was down. Used silicone for a washer. Fu*ker had to know what he did.

Anyway, he no longer works for Tilley's. Don Tilley agreed to make it right, and it's being done now. He was as tight-jawed about it as I was. Tilley has turned Jody York loose on the Ol' Girl now. Jody is the Lead Tech at Tilley's Salisbury Store. Sharp guy. I got Jody his position there with Tilley years ago. Took him from the Stealer in Bluefield, WV. Cole HD. Known him since he was a little feller. Later--HUBBARD

Thanks, Pete. You gotta' know I have to do that! Thinks he dusted me this Spring when he was solo, and I was 2-up. WTF? I suggested he put Michelle on behind him and stretch 'em out, but oh no, he wouldn't do that.

Ole Hubbard,

Glad to hear that your feeling much better today. Its nice to know you had to spend another 6k+ and have it reworked yet again, that warms the cockles of my heart to know it bugs you that much. I look forward to the visit, the riding and the shenannigans. Just hoping you can stop that lead sled, hate to get run over as you finally catch up.

Tilley does stand behind his work, just sad it was sub par this last go around with Neil. We both know you need more or you wouldn't have been whining to Tilley about the lack of power, but if plausible deniability is what you need so be it.

Yeah, I guess I do need more HP when we stretch 'em out. I'm runnin' a Full-Dressed Ultra 2-up, and I mean "FULL-DRESSED", and you're running a stripped down Road-Queen with no Tour-Pak, and ridin' one-up. And you still couldn't get away from the Ol' Girl!

Changed my mind. Imagine that! I've decided to order another Black, Shrine Ultra-Clasic, (so I can eliminate anti-lock brakes and security system), and have Tilley install a 120R, in the New, "Ol' Maudie." I can chrome it out and put a rocket up it's a$$ for less money than a SEUC. I pondered an Ultra-Limited, but that model isn't available in solid Black. My plans are to order the Bike and the Motor late March, and be in the breeze by June 1. Unless, of course, the sky falls.
