hello from OZ, well you can see it from here in Kansas

[The_Captain]

We are just getting off our two wheelers as my wife has had a total knee replacement and we have sold our two wheelers. We have settled on one bike, a 2002 Suzuki Volusia with a Voyager with 3800 miles that we can both ride with confidence. I never really gave much thought or attention to triking before but I think this is the way to go now. Thanks for the group to draw some knowledge from.

 

[Nana]

Congrats on the new adventure, Captain! But I'm betting you and your wife end up fighting over the trike and you end up with two....LOL! Actually, you are going to have a ball with it.

 

[Mr.Wizard]

OZ <perk>

Did someone say OZ?? Say it ain't so......

 

[skuuter]

WELCOME to TRIKE TALK...Great decision on goin' "TRIKE"...Yep, a wealth of INFO here on the Forum, kick back, read, and ask......:wtg:

 

[jaybasr]

Wiz he is in the Land of OZ (Kansas Big Wind). Welcome Captain from a fellow flat lander in eastern Kansas, up south of the Wellsville area, get to Ottawa about once or twice a week. Ride with a BTW Chapter from that area. Have fun with the new toy. Jay A.

 

[The_Captain]

I'll probably be seeing you at Burger King on Mondays, got some family business to tend to for the next couple of weeks. Good to know there are some locals on here too. See ya

[Gorilla]

Welcome aborad Wayne.

 

[jaybasr]

Captain, I do not make the Monday lunch group, still have to work for a living. Uncle Sam will not pay me to stay home for a few more years. I will see you at one of the weekend gathering soon. Ride safe Jay A.

 

[The_Captain]

Jay, the way things are going you need to be independent of Uncle Sam anyway. Sorry you still have to be among the working class but hopefully you will be able to get out someday. If it wasn't for my retirement plan I sure wouldn't be sitting here doing this. If the administration has their way though, I may have to go back to work just to pay the taxes on it. Better have fun while I can.

I have a friend that lives in MEAD the home of the Dalton Gang.. We stayed at the Dalton motel. Never did get to see the little house that Dorthy lived in . They say you can buy a yellow brick to put on the Yellow brick road . We did visit the Ok Coral and Boot Hill

 

[The_Captain]

Well, I have been to most of those places. I think God might have lost his shoes somewhere out there. It's pretty desolate when you get past the Flint Hills, lots and lots of nothing but wind. They swap real estate every day in Western Kansas when the wind picks up. It isn't fun territory for two wheelers, but doesn't bother trikes too much.

 

[John Luciano]

Where is Dorthy house ? I was told near Liberal ,KS

 

[The_Captain]

Well, I think I heard somewhere there is a house out there that they like to call Dorothy's House. I can't say for sure. That's definitely out of my field of travel.

 

[Papa Zook]

Hey welcome Captain! When you posted from the land of OZ I was sure you were another Aussie. We have probably a dozen or so members from Australia and they call it OZ. So if you see a new member post from OZ its most likely an Aussie. Great people by the way...youll enjoy chatting with them if you get the opportunity!

 

[John Luciano]

He got me too Zook. Until I realized it was KS

 

[The_Captain]

Sorry about the confusion guys, but Toto did really live at my house till she got so old she couldn't move. And the wicked witch taught 7th grade English. This is the real deal.

 

[ThirdWheel]

Welcome Captain: Kansas, Australia not much difference in distance via the web. Hope you enjoy it here, a lot of great folks here.

 

[Capt Chaos]

Hey John,
The last time I checked the OK Corral and Boot Hill was in Tombstone, Arizona

 

[Lucky]

welcome aboard.They were inTombstone when I was there,but you know there is a lot of wind out there

 

[The_Captain]

I have been to both and you are correct about their locations. Dodge City, Ks. has a Boot Hill also, been there too. It's most of a day's drive from just south of Lawrence, Ks., where we are. It's miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles.

 

[shiney b.]

welcome captain!
we occaisionally get up to ottawa. have been to the motorcycle salvage there a few times, and usually go that way to k.c.. we live in galesburg, just about halfway between parsons and chanute.
good to see folks here from close to our area, as well as the ones from around the other side of the world.
you'll enjoy trikes as much as the two-wheelers when you get used to them. it's still motorcycling, so, it's all good.

Yup....been thinking way too long myself. Will have my new Trike in a week or two. Good to have you and the Missus onboard.
