Awesome pictures, and great ride report. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Every time I read one of these reports, and see the pictures it just gives me another place that I have to go see. The sounds, smells, and people you meet along the way, and when you got to your destination are priceless.

Did you check out the ducks @ the Peabody Hotel?

Loved the pics, thanks for the report, wish I had been there. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Thanks Brian.....for the report and the photos.  We (Andy, Jon, Jock and I) plan on stopping in Memphis and seeing a few of those sites ourselves, in about a week or so.  

I spent time in Memphis in my teens (Marine Corps Aviation School) and remember some of those sites.........and of course the ducks at the Peabody Hotel.  The damn ducks march to the fountain in the lobby....it's all by the blow of a whistle.

great ride report, Brian.  enjoyed the pics.  Memphis is a good destination......did you go over to Tunica and roll the dice while there?  spyder

[DCFIREMANN]

Thanks for the comments, guys!  Glad you enjoyed the ride report and pictures!

Yes, we did see the ducks march into the elevator at the Peabody Sunday night but I didn't get close enough for photos.  Tommy and his wife stayed there and when I called them to see what time they wanted to head out to John's to meet his family and have dinner, in the background I heard Tommy's wife say, "We have to see the ducks!!!"  So, we watched the ducks, had a drink at the bar in the lobby, and then hopped on the bikes and got soaked [smiley=nervous.gif] on the way to JR's.

Monday morning after we had brekfast at the Denny's across the street from the Peabody, Tommy and Judy went to go get their bike.  When they got to the lobby, they saw Oprah Winfrey checking out of her room.  Wouldn't you know it, they did not have their camera with them at the time.  Bummer!!

Spyder, I think Tommy stopped in Tunica on the way.  When he gets home and sees this thread,  I'm sure he'll tell you how he did.

Brian, great report, I'll give you an A+. It was a pleasure hooking up with y'all down here in Memphis, just wished I'd been able to make Texas De B. As it turned out, my son's plane was 90 minutes late and I ended up sitting in the airport from 7:00 until 9:15. (Thank's Delta).
Anywho, it was a pleasure meeting and riding with all y'all.
Oh, p.s., I'll be watching e-bay for that medalion.[smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Mark, not to worry . . . . as soon as I figure out how to get the cheeseball "USA" emblem that came on the '04s off of there without scratching everything up, that baby's going on the tour-pak! [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_09.gif] [smiley=vrolijk_19.gif]  Thanks again, bro'!  I really[/b] appreciate it! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I've had good luck with WD-40 and Spiderwire fishing line. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Thanks, might give it a try tonight, right after I clean it up and take a look at the exhaust leak I developed on the ride home.  Think my wife would believe me if I told her I needed to get Rineharts in order to fix it? [smiley=nixweiss.gif] [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Just work on the leak w/the wrong tool, and mess it up beyond repair. Then with your most innocent looking face say the following.....

"Honey, Come here let me show you something. Can you believe as long as I've had these pipes, and as many miles that I've put on them they finally gave out on me? You know we are getting ready to go to Cripple Creek, and I understand they really enforce the noise ordinance there and I really think to be on the safe side I should have these replaced before we go."

Now remember to keep a straight face, and don't act to excited when she says "Well if you really think so go ahead I'd hate for you to get a ticket."

Or just say to her, " Honey, don't you love the new sound of my bike? I realize it is kind of dangerous breathing in this exhaust but it really sounds great. I hate to replace them but I guess I better do it for you and the kids before I take off on another trip." [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Gosh Brian that was cool to relive this weekend looking at them great pictures. Tommy left out this morning and looked like he was in for a great day to ride. We didn't hook up Tues night as I was late getting in from work and was pooped! Not use to partying all night and working all day anymore. Great to see you enjoyed yourself and greater to finally meet you, Tommy and Judy!

See Ya and God Bless!
