The vision is a great bike i think,,,some will tell ya you either love it or loath it,,,i like mine quirks and all,, I made the fatal mistake of having to sell it (was getting soaked by the ex) but fiddlesticks sold it back to me a few weeks ago,,and she looked after it so well too,,,learned an important lesson,,i will never part with it again,,,its unique and turns heads,, but a song came to mind about the cj5,,,,,

It'll be tight but I will try and work a BBQ in! Sounds great! Is there a place to pitch tents?
Mutt? ::)
i can see i have joined a board full of hoplessly insane people ....but thats ok i will fit right in
The fine line between passionate and insane... :)
But one thing for sure: Your Vision and this Forum is one hell of a combination. Trust me: this place is an absolutely fantastic resource.
Lou
thanx lou i have come to realize that along with the friendly banter comes a plethora of knowledge and experience
Okay, you don't have to read the following entire thread. I just thought I would post something about BBQ from a thread on my local MC Club here in VA...
http://www.twinvalleyriders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=146&highlight=bbq
Our clubs unofficial motto is "Ride to eat, eat to ride".

Maybe we should post the new membership rules: ;D ;D
Anyone joining after August 15, 2005 must be ready at a moment's notice to host a BBQ for as many members as can make it to the newbie's house!

For the BBQ, I'll take a T-bone, medium rare. :D

A fellow homebrewer! Cheers! Just finished a Honey - Agave Nectar Lager & an India Pale Ale (better like it BITTER!) Both came out great. Hadn't brewed in a few years, but just got back into it. Done any all-grain brews yet? Those have been my favorites. Not sure if it's the extra work or if they really are better than the dried or syrup extracts.

It's neat how "BBQ" means different things in different parts of the county/world. Here in VA/NC "BBQ" means some tender pulled pork topped with sweet coleslaw on a fresh baked hamburger type bun.? A "T-bone" is associated more with a "cook out".
Oh, and nice looking bike!

I was just about to ask what was the subject of this string... :D
My oh my, what a clean 82.
SInce we're on the subject, could one of the homebrewer come up with a recipe to produce glycolnitromethanexylene for a boosting kit that would fit my cafe racer? I would have Lucky figure out how to make and install the kit, and supply me with the complete istructions on CD... ;D

For us in the wild west, a BBQ can mean a couple things. When friends get together & toss any type of meat on the grill, it is often called a BBQ. The BBQ restaurants here do all types of meat (the pulled pork is normally fantastic) but also include beef, chicken & hot sausage links. A couple of the more upscale spots serve bison, elk & venison, too. Sauces run from mild to very spicy. A 'cook out' is more of a chuck wagon type affair - mainly for tourists. Lots of dutch oven fare - very good grub, though.
Had a pulled pork sandwich last Friday night in Steamboat Springs. The Double Z BBQ restaurant has been in business there for over 20 years. Menu has never changed. Always try to eat a meal there when I'm in town. The sandwich was just as you described.
Lou -
As for the recipe for glycolnitromethanexylene, you better refer to a chemist. I just do barley, wheat or rye grains & extracts mixed with water, hops & yeast.
OK - back to the subject of this thread (sorry for the hijack!) You'll like that 'shark' fairing a lot. I miss mine at times.
