That is so illegal here in NZ, he would have to have a “WIDE VEHICLE” sign front and rear and flashing amber lights as a warning.
I had to sit behind a very large tractor doing 50kmh in a 100kmh zone the other day, 30 cars backed up behind him and it was 10km before I got past him.... sheesh!

There was about 20 cars behind this one when I first seen it and of course it turned where I needed to. There are a lot of farm vehicles around here. Tabaco, hay and farm utility vehicles of all kinds. They don't have any lights, signs or leading/trailing vehicles. If he was a little higher I could have drove right under him.
Very nice looking countryside you have there, is that Kentucky? Where in KY if it is? Looks as lush as NZ LOLThere was about 20 cars behind this one when I first seen it and of course it turned where I needed to. There are a lot of farm vehicles around here.

Thanks, It is very green with all the rain we get. It is about 12 miles east of Louisville, KY. Central KY.
Same here, sometimes you meet them in the lee or crest of a hill..it's always smart to err on the side of caution.There was about 20 cars behind this one when I first seen it and of course it turned where I needed to.

they have no flashing lights and most times no lights...even the hay wagons, all they have is the red triangle and are net to impossible to see at dusk.

Yeah you have to be careful going over hills because there could be a really slow mover on the other side. My wife's old friend got killed like that on a Harley...
Yep, no rocketing over the hills for this old rooster...I look before I leap.
The worst is when they are taking up the entire road in a corner where you can't see them.

Saw one of these today at the local Stealership while waiting for my new Road 5 rear tire.
Nice look but really left me wanting a Gen 3 upgrade.
I love new shoes!! It's like having a new pair of PF Fliers!
I opted for the 190/55 and forgot I had a rear hugger and had to remove it because it rubbed with the added height. I didn't need it and it is really not good for Mt riding with all the gravel and cinders that get put down in winter, they get caught in the hugger and rattle around.
So if anyone would like a rear hugger for free I would gladly give it up. I also have a fender eliminator that I am not using, both are 2013 white.
Ride safe,
Bubba

Been a month, took it out today for a slow cruise near the water
Yeah, 17 deg C at 5.30am here in Darfield, 20 deg C at 4.30 pm, this global warming is working well !
I'm feelin' ya mate, in the 80's I lived in Perth Western Australia for a few years, temps in summer went to 45degC some days . . . unbearable, and that was dry heat, but you have to endure humid conditions WITH high temps . . . even worse!
Our winter has been very very mild so far.
I have ridden my bike almost every weekend so far . . pretty cool.
It’s just starting down here and I’m over this crap, already!!! I was so mad today at work and then came home and decided to change the spark plugs on my car. Sweat running into my eyes and dripping from the tip of my nose. Got even more pissed and pulled the extension out of the spark plug and hit the positive battery terminal (big v8 cramped up in the mustangs engine bay) and blew the 100amp side of the 100/200 amp terminal fuse block. Finished the job and went online and spent $20 on the new part. Car is down with no power steering and traction control module dead, until the fuse block arrives. Brought back memories trying to get it back in the garage without power steering
!!Sorry, rant over.

Heck of a thing to happen, blowing that fuse....
My buddy has a '15 Mustang and is looking at getting a '20 GT this fall. He had an '05 that he put something like 350,000 kms on before he traded it for the '16. I can identify there isn't much room under the hood.
It's too hot to even ride the bike for me. I saw a guy go by with no shirt, shorts and sneakers and a little bowl helmet on an HD. I flinched just thinking of the June Bug that hit my visor the other day-it sounded like a gun shot, I could just imagine taking one of those off the face...

I rode the pedal bike 
it was near 100% humidity and 95 to 97 degrees. Spent next two hours hitting weights in a 92 degree garage followed by 2 hours in neighborhoods attic pulling a bad tankless rain gas water heater. I'm officially smoked.
Ontop of 6 miles walking with 5 lb leg weights. Think I co into hibernation now lol.
