Cheers!

Thanks!

Not a loud pipe episode man. Just the flag. Flag etiquette. I've talked loud pipes in earlier episodes. I live just outside of Boston, MA. My pipes are negligible among the cement mixers, pavers, sirens, and everything else throwing sonic pollution. I don't rev-bomb around dogs or kids. Just talking about the flag today. What's your car btw? My friend has a Corvette from the 60s that is straight piped. It sounds absolutely killer, but it's tough on long drives! If I'm ever in a position to pick up a second bike I want it to be a quiet option, for night rides, and when I have early morning shifts. I'm up at 5 usually. No one needs to hear Vance and Hines at that hour haha. Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Yeah, can't remember the last time we had a rough hurricane either! Good stuff!

Guess you were saying, vote for more freedoms rather than less. Example: I believe in the helmet law, but if they were voting to repeal it, I should put my view about that aside and allow it to be repealed and let people make their own choice as to wearing one.

Having a proper disposal option is such a great idea! Man, my schedule has been so crazy I didn't even realize tomorrow is 9/11. I hope people don't think that's why I posted this one tonight.

Yeah, people only remember what they heard on the radio, then they go to a show and realize they like a bunch of their songs! This band also covers some Joe Walsh tracks too. Rocky Mountain Way, Life's Been Good, etc. and the guitarist sounds and plays as close to Joe Walsh as you can get. Lot of fun!

Wow, the Worcester Centrum! The last time I was there was sometime in the 80s. I think I saw DC Talk open for Michael W Smith with my youth group. I don't remember much about the concert except that DC Talk came back for the encore at the end of the show and killed it. I couldn't name any of their songs today, but I remember really liking that show.

@@MATTTHEGREETER I'm familar with Michael W Smith but never heard of DC Talk. I had seen many concerts and events at the Centrum. (Some of the bigger named bands would play at the Centrum and then have a show in Providence too and I'd attend both shows.)

@@MATTTHEGREETER Not sure what was my favorite show at the Centrum was, but if I had to pick, it was probably Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Beck together. I remember I could only buy one T-shirt there and picked a Jeff Beck one since it may be the last time I saw Jeff Beck since he was getting older, and I was sure I'd see SRV again....little did I know that was one of his last concerts before the fatal plane crash. (SRV was top billing of the concert, but opened up for Jeff Beck out of respect, plus they played several songs together. Great show.)

@@pcthayer WOW, what a show that must have been! Jeff Beck, what a genius. He influenced so many great players. Here's a link to a Rick Beato video about him. I don't know if you watch Rick's channel, but it's really great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIeck6GXptaZp5o

It's "dahanjo" (I probably spelled it wrong haha). It's a Jicarilla Apache greeting. I have been wearing Indie Ridge riding boots for a while now and one of their artists is Rod Velarde, who is a Jicarilla Apache. He's a pretty cool guy and his artwork would make killer tattoos. We've messaged back & forth a few times, so the greeting started as a little call-out to him. It sort of stuck & I say it every time now haha.

Yeah, Monty's always had a consistently grungy feel. The showroom (still tiny) was cleaner the last time I was in. It looked like it was being taken good care of. I think the Revolution Road H-D moved right in to the existing location. It's such a tiny spot I wonder if they'll end up moving at some point. Wouldn't be the worst idea, as long as it's closer to where I live! It takes me around 45 minutes to get there usually. Rahn's is still in Abington. I reached out to them for a part a couple years ago, but they're still pretty busy! It's pretty hard to get to from where I am now because traffic is always a nightmare. I may have to re-engage with MOMs in Foxboro, which I've tried to avoid, since they are a mega-store, but they're soooo close! Maybe 15 min away.

@@MATTTHEGREETER When Harley's became popular with the rich lawyer crowds, and it wasn't just the 1%er's brand of choice, all the HD dealerships rebuilt and got bigger and added their clothing boutiques in there too. (I remember in the late 80's I had stopped in there to get a part for my bike, and they sure had cleaned up their act compared to what they were like before.) (re: MOMs, I stopped down there years ago when they first moved there but looking at Bugzy's videos they look like they really got huge since then.)

@@pcthayer They have a warehouse with around 400 used bikes. It's like a candy store! Pretty fun to walk around in it. Lots of different brands, used.

Cool! I'll check him out, thanks

@@MATTTHEGREETER I don't claim to be big in that type of music, but he introduced into so many bands I never heard of (and one was from Massachusetts....and no it wasn't Godsmack)

I had to look it up in my old email and it was "Dream Theater". (but I guess they sound more like progressive rock than "metal".)

@@pcthayer I've seen Dream Theater many times in Boston. They are absolutely incredible live! Some of them met while in school at Berklee, but they're from NYC. The keyboardist went to Juliard I think. Their singer is from Canada. They are progressive rock for sure, but can get really down & dirty.

Thanks!

Cool man! 5FDP were having a blast and the crowd was all in. It was pretty cool!

The Suzuki!!! I forgot about that one

@@MATTTHEGREETER I think "Red Bull" bought them all up and stuck a can in the back as a promotional advertisement. 🙂

First time I saw an X90 on the road, I yelled out loud in my car...."WHY?" It's ugly, it isn't a 2 seater sports car and it doesn't have the functionality of an SUV, so I have no idea what its purpose was.

Never seen a Ritz with a flat tire on the highway either haha

Pretty great idea, actually!

My wife has a couple older relatives that live full-time on the road. It's a different life, for sure and they absolutely love it

My dad had a Chevy Citation... it was a little 5-speed in some kind of brown color. He drove the heck out of it, but sold it (just before I learned to drive!!) because my mom didn't drive manual. It was fun to drive with him because he wasn't afraid to drive it to its limit haha. I had a teacher that collected Chevettes. I wonder if he kept them? He's probably long dead by now. One was white and blue I think, and the other had darker tones.

@@MATTTHEGREETER He probably bought them to impress the ladies by telling them "I own a Vette" 🙂

@@MATTTHEGREETER haha I can’t imagine wanting to collect chevettes! I guess everyone has their preferences. Definitely not a car I like.

@@roadkingrider6532 The Chevette was one step above the Yugo. (Sometimes "you go" most times you don't.)

@@pcthayer haha exactly. I was blessed one afternoon I had an evening class at the local community college. There had just been a snow storm. I was slowly making my way to class when I started going up a fairly steep hill and ended up doing a 360° and ended up in a ditch. It was almost dark. A guy stopped with a truck and got it hooked up, started pulling it out. The second he got it out, another truck comes from the opposite direction flying over the hill. He was going to fast and didn’t have time to stop. Slammed into the side of my chevette. That was the end of her. One of the happiest days of my teen years. 😂

You can't put gas in them after midnight. ("Don't feed them after midnight") (from the movie Gremlins for those who never saw the movie.)

My sister looked at a 1973 Gremlin with the Levi's denim package (seats were jean material). (She didn't buy it and got a 1973 Opel GT instead.)

I've seen them in Purple, Green, & the color my parents had, which was bright Yellow. It had bucket seats and they loved the car. I don't remember it because I was too young, but I still have the hood ornament!!!

@@MATTTHEGREETER very 😎

My old youth pastor came straight to New England from his home in Texas. He pulled up in a maroon El Camino and got out with the cowboy boots on & everything. He was a massive Air Force judo instructor and was a really influential guy in my life. I always look at an El Camino with those memories, so it's hard not to be biased! It was probably a terrible car in the snow!

@@MATTTHEGREETER I loved the El Camino. After high school my first job in 1968 was working at a Chevy dealership as a parts driver and they gave me an El Camino to drive (later a C10 pickup since it held more). I also got to drive all the new Chevy Camaros, Impalas, Novas etc. that the other staff were given also. It was a teenage boy's fantasy.

@@MATTTHEGREETER 👍👍👍

Haha! Yes! Now, are you talking from personal experience?

@@MATTTHEGREETER yes😁
