That's awesome! What an incredible journey to say the least.
Something to aspire to..

Just too many idiots on the road for me any more to be riding on 2 wheels. But i have lots of great memories.

Man, how refreshing is it to read about people coming together and getting to know each other! Fantastic!

EDIT - I’m with you re the bike gasman. Except it’s not others I’m worried about anymore, rather I’m worried about myself.

When I moved to KS I was so excited to be able to ride nearly year round. I took a refresher course over at HD. Just before the road test, the instructor told me to go a little faster into the corner. I was like oh heck yeah, no problem. Until upon executing, I went way to fast and rather than leaning in, I tapped my front break!! I literally went airborne!!

I coun’t take the road test being my right hand no longer worked and the blood dripping down my right leg was in poor form. I decided right there I had gotten too old and lost my edge. I let go of the dream.

Well the Boars Nest had eaten the cast iron dutch oven and the cast aluminum lid but I found them and the brass knob is installed.



My daughter's birthday isn't until the middle of September so I'll be giving her this early. I have a special gift for the actual day.

Looks nice Roy! bet it makes you wish you had a lathe.

She's going to appreciate the extra length you gave the knob so she can use thick pot holders. Just so you gents know.....Roy did all the work himself except the parting off. I did the parting because Roy doesn't know my machine as well as me.

When Joel and I were exploring the design options I felt that the 'Normal' length of knobs or even the handles found on cast iron lids were way too small to get a good grip when I had a decent pot holder--thus the length.

While I haven't actually used the lid I have played with various pot holders and it's going to serve my daughter and generations to come well.

good for you Randy,, its a wonderful life on 2 wheels,, and if the idiots give you too much trouble do a I do , carry a .45, contrary to that other saying form the peanut gallery,, "never impede on a biker with a temper and a .45, its never a good idea. truck or car" Tc
