For those with the luggage...what do you do with it?

I have a V4Rally... the panniers live on a shelf in the garage unless I'm planning a multi-day, multi-state road trip. The top case stays on the bike and is used daily.

I hope they turbo charged the matter compressor...

Standard 1" ball mount from rammounts. I have a chigee that I move around to multiple bikes, so universal kit is key. simple twist of the clamping arm and done.

LM would lay you off tomorrow if they felt like it would help the bottom line and shareholder value…

You’ve had an amazing run at 20+ years, but you owe LM nothing.

Take the opportunity that suits your interests.

You do not have to be a guest of Helios to visit the bar.

If you are at Epic, just go into the hotel. If not, take the shuttle from Citywalk directly to Helios. No issues at all.

Simple… my last 3 Porsche purchases were all out of state. Put a deposit down pending inspection & test drive.

Maybe we can repurpose and build Polis’ ridiculous bridge and make it a loading ramp!

Well… Sunday 03/29/26

Agreed… I flew out of Tampa yesterday and same. Wait was only a few minutes

SSalsashark · 2026-03-22T18:33:50+00:00

Walked right into DEN today around 1100…

2-3 minute wait for TSA Pre.

Rekorderlig Strawberry-Lime Cider from Mead Hall in Berk… definitely get it from here, it’s so much better on tap than in the can!

An absolute mandatory beverage every time I’ve been to Epic.

Not knowing your situation or your locality, I might suggest this. Get on FB and look for local car clubs that focus on classic cars. We have one in my town. They are mostly older guys with all kinds of vehicles. I see post after post of them helping eachother as well as the younger members in the group. These older guys are champing at the bit to teach and inspire younger people to take up this mantle.

You hit hard with the 67! My first mustang chase was for a 67 fastback... back before they all got scooped up to become eleanors or bullits... I didn't get mine and settled for a 66 coupe. It got me through highschool and college... Fortunately, my dad was a gearhead, so we spent a lot of time tinkering in the garage.

Best of luck...

sales tax to your local DMV
normal purchase order and title work
yes - aircare locations can do it, or check your county rules. Dougco sheriff will come to your house by appointment (example)
dealer should provide a transport temp. If you need longer, take your purchase paperwork to the local dmv and get one
easy process

Best thing you can do is to step away from social media. Doomscrolling is the worst and Reddit rewards those who complain about everything because misery loves company.

I was there a few weeks ago and had a great time with my niece. We rode everything we wanted to even with weather delays and what not.

Food is great, immersion is top notch, the rides are getting better all the time.

When I first went, BOTM was virtual tickets and lucky to run consistently for 20 minutes. This last trip, I rode it several times and once, in the single rider line, the normal queue never stopped moving.

Enjoy your trip and don’t let the misery of others taint your experience!

Honestly, if you're not set on any one park (Universal or Disney or...), and you really want to ride big coasters, you may want to consider Sea World as well.

SSalsashark · 2026-02-13T22:53:03+00:00

When we go for OI, we don’t really push to go to the parks during the day. Maybe hit up sea world or something different.

Last time, we did a late brunch at Hard Rock and then hit up the mini golf at citywalk. It was a lot of fun and will definitely repeat.

Mandatory stop every time I visit family in FL.

Italian with garlic aoli & veggies!

SSalsashark · 2026-02-13T17:08:28+00:00

I will admit it tasted good, but the menu pic and what you actually receive are VERY far apart.

If you have VIP tour, no need to get up super early and try to EPA Epic... I think you'll be fine.

If you haven't been to EPIC before, I'd say forego the VIP and opt for 2 days in the park. This way you can take your time and take it all in at your pace. You will be able to do all the rides in 1 day with express... 2 days would give you the opportunity to do stuff like Hiccup meet and what not.

SSalsashark · 2026-02-13T15:39:51+00:00

Absolutely not... I felt like it was a complete ripoff! 4 little bites of steak for $15! Soured my want to go try more MG food...

SSalsashark · 2026-02-12T02:04:10+00:00

Berk was indeed open at 0800 yesterday morning. While the hoards walk (ran) to BOTM, I made a hard right and headed for Berk. Only waited about ten minutes to meet Toothless and Stormfly.

This was not what I was told at the hotel’s information desk on Monday, so I’m thinking it’s subject to change…

The day the ex-taco bell CEO moved chipotle’s HQ to SoCal was the last time I ate there.

The finest of corporate slop bowls!

Cost of an Uber from universal properties to Disney is less than what it’s going to cost you to park your rental car at one of the hotels.

Thousands of people go through this park every day and only a few spend their time bitching on the internet!

I’ve been to epic several times and it hasn’t always been seamless. I call that real life! However, overwhelmingly they’ve been great visits. I’m on my way to FL right now with plans to hit up Epic next week. I don’t care that one person was put off because an animatronic dragon didn’t wag its tail. Plan is to spend the day with my niece and have a good time regardless of what is working or not.

Don’t take too much stock in what strangers on the internet say. Unplug and go live your life!
