Don't get lost among the ferns. Big difference between The Conch Republic and Cresent City!

Are you a "Three Banana's" guy or a "Fat Boy" guy?

I'm more of a "Cheyenne" guy.

Welcome!

How do you like the sheepskin seat cover? I only know one person that uses one and he swears by it. Not that I don't believe him, just don't see a lot of sheepskin seat covers.

I love it. It's main use is for summer. Down here in Florida it is really hot in the summer ( this week in the 90's all week) and when you have to leave your bike sitting outside and then you go to climb on, that leather on the seat can get pretty darn hot with out it protecting you.

What mirror is that you're using?

Also, how do you become a dual citizen?

I got the mirrors off of Ebay was less than 15 bucks and that included shipping. I had posted a link to that ebay site Cadd in the other 300 forum we belong to.

In my case of dual citizenship I was born in Toronto,Ontario Canada and adopted at 6 years of age by a couple, my new mother was American and my new dad was Canadian. When he applied for naturalized American citizenship he signed for me to be one also. So I was raised in Detroit and when I went to apply to move back to Canada in the 70's they told me I didn't need to apply, since as a minor when I got my American citizenship papers I didn't have to swear allegiance to the states so I was still a Canadian citizen also. Kinda nice for traveling between the country's.Strangely enough when I was sworn into the U.S. Navy that didn't effect my dual citizenship status.

Sounds like a commie plot!

So what were running over the border of the US and Canada?

Probably taking drugs over and bringing back booze.

You must be related to the Kennedys.
