Just kidding, you can probably still fit in yours. Mine seems to have shrunk a little, but the Bell Bottoms are still way cool.
Have a great time out there, no soil samples needed this week just have fun.

Thanks McDave. I am back and had a great time. There was a Tommy sighting on his KTM... he's making his way back!
So, I did have a chance to travel a few hours on the interstate with the Vortex Generators which is the first time since I installed. They do absolutely nothing for the gas mileage (from what I could detect).... but very noticeable improvement on stability. Almost no pull at all with large trucks coming from behind. I did not even notice most of them until they were passing me and I saw them as they went by. Also had some good crosswinds on the return trip. The ride was steady with no induced sway. I'd say they are worth the price for stability and a bust for any fuel savings. Overall, worth it and I would install just for the stability with the fringe benefit of aesthetics. In fact, I had two people ask me what they were. They thought they were for "looks".
With the Vortex Generators, Sway Bars, Load balancing Hitch and the AirLift airbags I also recently installed.... rock steady with no bounce. Very pleased with the results. Makes towing alot less stressful.
Here is a pic of our site at Lake Delancey East.. Just a very nice Oak Hammock near the lake with great access to the forest roads for riding. Absolutely perfect weather for 3 of the 4 days. It rained on and off most of Saturday, but it was actually relaxing under the awning just hanging out, grilling, and enjoying being off the grid!
BTW... hope you saved those bell bottoms... they are coming back!
