In hopes that most of what we will be doing is highway and smooth backroads, not chip seal forestry roads, the suspension should be okay as is.<br /><br />I think the GT is pretty, but I wouldn't own one either. I would much rather have a classic Dodge Challenger. Oh heck, even a new one if gas mileage wasn't an issue. Who am I kidding, what I'd really like is a Fiat 500 Abarth.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-88220961858490661232012-06-17T19:27:00.145-07:002012-06-17T19:27:00.145-07:00Yes, I agree, allergies suck.

The rain this year helped a lot keeping the pollen down.<br /><br />I couldn't care less about the GT (I am not into domestic muscle cars anyway, I am conservative motorcycle rider, and like cars that simply do the job...) but the Goldwing is one pretty thing. The colour is awesome, and that smile on Tom's face says it all.<br /><br />And the weather down there looks so nice... sigh!SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-86359567577615120392012-06-17T09:10:08.049-07:002012-06-17T09:10:08.049-07:00Yes hayfever sucks, but I try not to complain beca...Yes hayfever sucks, but I try not to complain because it doesn't help.

Tom used to have a Harley but due to back problems needed something else.<br /><br />I can remember blowing my nose while riding pillion. It is nice to have small hands that will go up under the front of the helmet. Tricky not to drop the gloves though.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-30730514644789264152012-06-17T09:05:14.189-07:002012-06-17T09:05:14.189-07:00Antihistamines just make life manageable for the 6...Antihistamines just make life manageable for the 6 weeks of allergies but don't do much beyond take the edge off. 24 hour relief my arse. I am taking a Zyrtec in the morning and Benadryl at night and at least I can sleep. That is the best combination I've found. Nothing else seems to even put a dent in it.<br /><br />The best meds I had were in British Columbia by prescription and they aren't available down here even by prescription. So I suffer, but it is only 6 weeks. By July 4th the grass fields are cut down, the trees are done and I'm good to go until next May.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-69904867715116085802012-06-17T01:04:18.819-07:002012-06-17T01:04:18.819-07:00Love the Ford (even though I'm a Holden fan)!

Do you take any type of antihistamines when riding in the spring time, I have to otherwise my eyes wont stop watering and the sneezing.
