Oh NO! The Harley's!

The bikes...
We've been in the same place for 7 months.  We're getting ready to head out to Colorado in a few days then on to Pennsylvania to visit our daughter & 2 grandaughters for a few weeks.
We will be gone for 3 months.
Anyway on to the Harley's.
We had the garage ready to put the bikes in.  Ramp was down.  George was on my bike.  The ramp looked like it was on a somewhat steep angle but not too steep.  Boy were we wrong!
George got up the ramp but as soon as he got to the top the bike caught on the ramp floor & stopped dead.  He started to roll back with me chasing him.  I didn't want him to fall over...on MY bike!
When he got to the end of the ramp..over he went!  Bike was racing...on it's left side!  George was on the ground.  Unfortunately for him I was more concerned about my bike at the moment.
He was fine..just a little blood where he ripped his hand open but I knew he would live.
Lesson learned!  We decided we'll have to wait until we pull out & are on level ground before we load the bikes from now on.
The ramp....
The dip...the BIG problem!

Nov 1, 2015 Trying to get "Settled In"...WAY TOO MUCH STUFF!

1st DOA on this Big Adventure! Georgie ran over a stop sign on his way to park the rig! LOL
 

Beautiful Campground!  Timberlane RV Park & Resort.  Lots are really a nice size. 

We have room to park the car & Georgie's truck & utility trailer!  We certainly don't feel like we're packed in like sardines.
Our view...

Almost there...last day in our house! October 31, 2015

Well, the Harley's are in the garage.  It's 7:30 Saturday night.  Have been working non-stop all week to get crap to the huge dumpster (2nd one in 10 days).
 

The Boys Came Over to Clean the Garage's For Us! October 23, 2015

Brandon & Brent came over from Orlando to clean the garage's for us.  Man-o-man did they work their asses off!  Started at 8:30am & were done, including the attic, by 2:30pm!  I knew we had boys for a reason.  Poor Jessica...she's all the way in Pennsylvania.  She was dying to be here...right!





 
This garage was used for storage.  When the boys were still here they stored their jet ski's in here.
 
 
Main Garage
 
Brandon dropped the motorcycle jack on his foot.  Poor thing.

1 Wheel Chock in the Garage...1 more to go!

Decided today to put the wheel chocks in the garage.  After quite a bit of research we decided to go with Condor Self Locking ones.  We put 1 in & decided to stop there for now.  There was a lot of measuring as we didn't want to hit the fuel station gas tank underneath.  After all the measuring, re-measuring & re-measuring some more we determined the bolts could be put anywhere within 19" from the wall.
Since George has the bigger bike, his was the 1st to go in.  Once we got everything figured out & lined up it only took about an hour to get it done.
 


 
The Harley is standing on it own with just the wheel in the chock.  Still have to get another D-ring so we can strap the back in when traveling.

The House is SOLD!!!

This is the home we lived in for 20+ years in Largo, FL.  Just 3 miles from Indian Rocks Beach!
Our kids grew up & moved out years ago.  Time to move on...  We can't wait!
