Hey Mark, you still here? For some reason I thought you had returned Stateside. Still doing the same thing here so let me know if you hear from Bacon. HQ is wondering if I can push my vacation plans back to July 1st.... >:(  they did the same thing last year, I'm not wanting to miss another GTG.

Anyway, welcome aboard Bacon and congrats on your purchase! Might see you around. I travel around A'stan a bit and might see you at another post if you're not on BAF.

Yes,..still here on BAF. I work at the OCT over in the JOC now. Still waiting to hear from Bacon. Let me know when you chopper back in.

Got back 2 weeks ago from CNS. Hated to see the place close as it was a cool small camp. Good cigar socials though. Reminds me, we have a mtg tonight over behind the Pax USO.

Just sent Bacon an email on NIPR. I'll try and make the social tonight.

Hope your travels are going well Kevin. This rain might slow things down a bit but hope you make your destinations. If I didn't thank you for the cigar last night then thank you. It was great to meet you and the other fellows and I know you're looking forward to your new ride.

You asked about a photo of my ride but I only have a couple on this computer. Oddly enough this photo was taken about the same time the group was having their 2011 CVO ride to Lake Tahoe but I didn't know about it until after returning to Iraq. Could have made my first GTG (get together) right off the bat. LOL  :D Oh well. crap happens. FYI, the exhaust system in the photo is the Rinehart true dual setup but we talked about the Fullsac system which is quieter, offers better bottom end torque and not as loud with 2" baffles. The 2.25" baffles are probably quieter as well as indicated by those using them. Rineharts would be good for hi rpm riding but not the best way to go (JMHO) for a touring bike. Not sure what tuner shops you have in your part of FL but I mentioned Doc who is in central FL. Don't think you could do any better than him doing the tune but you'll get real close if you go the TTS route for a tuner and Steve at Fullsac carries them as well. I'll post a couple links to make it easier to research them if you go that route. Lots of choices and tuners to consider. I'm thinking about attending MMI either in AZ or FL (maybe other course work closer to home would suit my needs) and then take Doc's tuner class if they don't cover them in class but that's a long time down the road.

Well I guess I won't be able to post those links. Server error. But search for the following shops that are probably also listed in the vendor section.

Fullsac Performance
Doc's Performance Tuning

Have a great day and safe travels!

Beautiful ride, Wayne - and it was great to meet you guys too.  Small world sometimes, eh?  Thanks for the note about Doc, I will certainly check that out and I can't thank you and the forum for all the great information.  Hey, where is that pic?   ;)

Thanks Kevin, I appreciate it. I'd like to do like Chip (SBB) and add more blue bikes to the stable. Road Glide for sure. Cheers and enjoy your day.
