    No damage here, only 6-8 miles from Chucks place.

    I did get about 2 minutes of pea - dime size hail & lots of wind.

    I had softball size hail here in 1989 that caused EXTENSIVE damage to everything.

    Chuck, if you need any help with clean up let me know, I will be home today.

     Well I start another new job on Tuesday. ABM was wonderful, they even had a small gathering after work on Friday for me. after only working there 2 weeks.  They offered me a raise to stay & also said, If my new job doesn't work out I was welcome to come back with the raise they offered. Hopefully I wont need to take them up on that.

    I took the job at Donnybrooke Automotive in Spring Park.

    Thanks for the offer Mike. We don't have any major plant damage...nothing that I can't bag with the mower. I'll let the pro's handle the house. We don't have any leaks...that I know of.

    Congrats on the job.

    I live about a mile from the Lowes in Coon Rapids that took some damage, but luckily all we got was a little hail, wind, and some rain.  Have a friend who lives about 3 miles away and his neighborhood lost a lot of big trees, but everyone was safe.
     
    Donnybrooke, a guy I worked with at Wells knew the family that owns the shop, said it was really cool.  I think it was the dad who was big into the Ferrari cars?

    Remember that government spends money only by taking that money out of the private economy. Put another way, when government taxes a dollar to “create” a job, it has taken a dollar out of the private economy that is no longer available to the private economy.

    Yes, thats the place. they used to  be associated with World Ferrari as an authorized service center.

    Dad sold the business to his son who seems like a pretty good guy.

    hi everyone Im new to the board and am wondering if anyone knows of a good passenger peg extension. I tried searches but didnt have much luck.

    My girlfriend either wants peg extensions or her own bike so if anyone has anything for sale less than $3000.

    My buddy has a sweet 650 V-Star for sale here in Hutchinson.  Lowered, raked forks, solo seat, pipes.  Sounds great actually.  Around $3K if I remember right.

     

    Email, or PM your  phone number if you're interested.

    V-Star passenger pegs can be made to work on your Warrior.  I don't remember if it was the 650 or 1100, though.  I think it was the 650.  The mounting holes are the same, and you just cut off the wire heel guards, and flip them upside down.  That's what I have on mine.

     I got back into MN, from being in Wisconsin, on Sunday and decided to take a ride, as it was in the 80's at least around my place in minnetonka and that needed to be taken advantage of. Took off and went west then south then was coming back north and i got under that wall cloud and the temp instantly dropped 15 degrees and the wind blew my glasses right off my face. As i was on a highway i couldn't just stop and pick them up so i had to put in about a mile or so of dirt being blown hard into the eyes and eventually got a little shower action as well. Anything can happen in MN weather...

    Even a fish wouldn't get in to trouble if it kept its mouth shut...

    Looks like a big to-do over at Victory HQ in Medina this weekend.  Victory Challenge.  Test rides, etc.  I think I may head over there for a looksee tomorrow.

    Anyone up for it??  If it's boring we could always do some burnout smileys to liven the place up  Devil
