Yes my wife stumbled onto it while searching for accommodations in Pigeon Forge. Way less costly than a hotel. Very comfortable. Very well equipped. A/C; full kitchen; lift with skylight; washer / dryer; tv; internet; hot tub; bbq; huge wrap around deck……. Highly recommended.

A friend drove his ‘88 Supra to the Tail of the Dragon and on the way home got a flat tire. No problem because he had the original spare. Tire was over 36 years old 😬, but got him home. Not recommended but when your options are limited, you have to do what you gotta do.

I just saw this today and thought it would be cool to own one 😍

What seemed like a simple task, turned out to be hours of work. The factory jack for the car was rusted to the point that it was inoperative. I thought s simple disassembly and cleaning was in order. Although thr mechanism looks quite simple, it wad s real pita to take apart and getting it...

Thanks to @kshansen, I now have the period correct hood emblem on the car.

Unfortunately Hagerty won’t insure bikes in Canada☹️. Re: hearing protection, ear plugs are a good thing - many years without them forced me to get hearing aids last month.

Just got back from the Tail of the Dragon (Deals Gap) after spending the weekend there with my friends from the Toyota Supra club. I was quite surprised how few bikes were there this past weekend. There were a bunch of BMW guys there as well as a showing of HD’s, but there was a noticeable...

A friend had one and back then when it was new and I was many, many years younger and lighter, I could barely get in and out of the car. Lol

When I installed my diesel heater I put in a $25 CO monitor. Never registered anything with the heater running but fire up the bike for a minute and it’s screaming at me. Only reason I put the monitor in was when I first bought the heater, the seal between the heat exchanger exhaust port and...

These heaters do not introduce combustion byproducts into your heated area, therefore there should be zero CO and no condensation. They’re also relatively quiet. One of my best purchases.

Had mine running all winter and was very happy with the performance. Time to remove it soon and store it for the warm seasons.

Jim are the Pamco units repairable or are there some proprietary bits in there?

Beauty of a bike. I’d like to own one of those small displacement British singles.

I recall way back when I was into 4wd trucks (but not Jeeps), it was a common occurrence for these vehicles to handle rather poorly. Wide tires on uneven roads made for some interesting drives. Mind you that was back in the ‘80’s. I’m sure tire and suspension tech has come a long way since then.

} Fantastic find! Love the look of the T500 and yours looks equally cool. Can’t wait to see the completed project and read your road test results. I should start ear;y and start looking for next winter’s project now. Congrats!🎉🎉

Great looking shed. I wish we could build that big here without permit. We’re only allowed 100 sqft. As long as it doesn’t get cluttered with a lot of other stuff, 200 sqft makes a decent sized shop. When I rearranged my garage last year, I used shelves and milk crates to maximize space...

Cool photo’s. No idea where that dark spot was. Yes I saw the solar flares too!

I always enjoy watch his stuff… I was a bit surprised at the results. Looks like liquid wrench was the winner after heat. I’ve found heat is the best to get things moving then any penetrating oil to wind out the fastener the rest of the way. I recently depleted my 10yr old can of PB...

Quite true about proper procedure for kick starting a bike. On my old 2 strokes it didn’t matter so much. Kick like a bugger and eventually it would start. On a 4 stroke engine it’s different. I never looked but do they tell you in the owners manual, the proper starting procedure for an XS?
