    Do you need private medicare insurance if you are on Medicare?

    Blue Cross Blue Shield Advantage Plan. Max out of pocket $5,600 a year. Doesn't cost me a dime. I am reasonably healthy. I can easily come up with the deductible if needed. So I don't worry about the rest. JMT, Dave

    What you do besides motorbikes?

    Cycling is my newest adventure. Other than that working around the homestead, chickens, gardening and when the backhoe is running taking down trees and clearing land.

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    Long-Distance Endurance MT10 Project

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    You could probably use the same stuff to clean wood stove glass. I am sure that would work. Available in your big box lumber stores. Dave

    ABS and Check engine lights

    It gets frayed when you forget to tighten the screw and comes out. 150 miles into a trip down south It woke me up.:cry: Bike still ran but had to get off the highway and find a hardware store that had metric bolts. Duct tape worked temporarily until I found a store.
