    Well JB, looks like you only got 4 so far that want to go. You can probably count CB out probably to far for him.

    We are in the busisess time of the year doing Boat Work.
    We got customers calling all day and all nite. Somebody was calling at 5:30 am askin for us to work on their boat.
    People are Skying, Kneeboarding, tubing, fishing, and ridin around.
    Boating is what is going on right now. The season is in FULL SWING.

    Now is when I make money. I was crying about No work in the
    HARD TO MAKE Bike PAYMENTS WITH NO WORK.

    The boss can't work without a helper. He also don't git any work in the winter. He has to make his money now to make it threw the winter.
    He will be forced to let me go and hire somebody else so he can work if I leave. The bike has to be returned to Harley.
    The 08 that was paid for that I traded in the the money I gave Harley is gone. Harley will not finance me another bike again.:banghead:
    Then I can sit home and stare at the walls or do whatever I want. But I will not have a Bike to Ride anywhere.
    So am I gonna have more stress or less stress.
    If I loose my bike give me a gun and I can just shoot myself.
    It ain't gonna happen. Not gonna let my bike go. I got a committment and gonna keep it. I like my 11 limited.:cussing:

    YOu weight it out. think about what the decesion will be.
    I got another year before I can draw SSI.

    There's no way in Hell yer gonna ride here In June , July or August.
    It was 95 in May even.
    We've been in the upper 90's to 100 for months.
    We was 105 yesterday. Come on down and see if you like riding yer air cooled engine.
    I am adapted to it. But would rather ride early and late at this time of the year.

    You got no Idea how many folks are watchin our borders.
    We can't see everything and keep everything and everybody out.
    The State is too big.
    But to let you in on a Secret.
    They will take CAlifornia over 1st. They are alreay in California.
    Another reason I said we need a fence across California keeping everybody and their laws in California only.

    They cross from Mexico to California everyday freely.

    Were connected to Calif at our southern boarder. Northern Calif is tolerable but southern Calif. needs to be cleaned out and then they can start over.

    Got news for you. They are carrying money and guns from the U.S down to Mexico.
    They have women here workin as slaves. The goverment don't have the manpower to do anything about it.
    What you don't realize I operated a Locksmith business and went everwhere and seen them. I go to a house of business and there were mats all around the wall in every room.
    They have Mexican gangs here. What you gonna do about them.
    Best thing I can say if to stay away from them . They are scared of you.
    So you have NO news for me, cause I used to live in it operating a business all over houston and 100 miles within it.
    I've been from Del Rio to Big Bend, I've heard about everything there and seen the border partols and had em check me.
    They had a bunch of them try to cross the Rio Grande river and come threw Big Bend state park and found them Dead.
    Big Bend is too big to cross and too rugged and too hot.
    Money shuts peoples mouth too.
    As easy as they are lettin folks over. They come at nite nad cross the rivers and the Police are either paid off or scared. If yer president don't want to do anything, and yer state goveror don't have the money and personel to stop them what are you gonna do Cry about them.

    Anytime between the middle of June and the middle of August is good for me. Anywhere. I've ridden across Texas many times in the summer months. El Paso to the Louisiana border and back. On 66 through Amarillo heading west. Hot, but doable if you ride, like CB says, early or late in the day. Timewise, it's about an 8 week window for me. I will vote for July since it falls in between the extremes. Lotsa problems with the illegals everywhere. The're working all the farms here in N.C. We left Calif. 11 years ago because it was becoming Little Mexico. Many of my Calif. friends have since moved elsewhere, too.

    The natives in South Dakota are very used to bikers all summer long and they welcome you. Some of the most friendly people I have ever meet. I voted for after Sturgis but hey, it don't matter June through end of August is fine. Weather wise it don't matter cause you can get summer storms any of those months but they come and go just stay out of the hail storms. As for CB or anyone else who can't or won't come, there loss. We got a long time yet to set this up. Custer is a good place lots to see around there.
