Re: RV Sales Reply #2 – October 26, 2017, 11:24:05 am When oil prices head back up to over $90/barrel, which we all know they eventually will, the shiny new RV's will go into the classifieds and the campgrounds will open up.

Re: RV Sales Reply #4 – October 26, 2017, 03:58:27 pm Actually don't think will happen any time soon. Too much shale in the Balkan and a huge shale find in Texas. The price gets high enough idled American rigs are turned on and supply gushes again. Technology is going wild too. Used to be you dropped a line into the sands and then could drill about four different directions at once. Last I heard you could send out 24 lines from a single drill.I think oil will be range bound between $40 and $60 for a very long time.

Re: RV Sales Reply #6 – October 26, 2017, 05:59:08 pm Very interesting RV data. Out of all those new RV’s of varying flavors one might wonder how many will be fodder in ten years. Crowds are dwindling up here at Serrano. There may be as many as a dozen rigs here currently and at this moment I have my corner of the campground all to myself. Come Friday night all those “Bright and Shiny’s” will be back with a vengeance. Time for this ol’ man to head back home. [A quick look shows 7 sites currently available for Friday night] Relaxing after a nice ride around the lake on my Relic 10 speed. Gas prices got nothing on that “Bad Boy”.Kent 1 Likes
Re: RV Sales Reply #7 – October 26, 2017, 06:52:46 pm Kent,What kind of frame? Vintage chrome/moly. I like steel frame bicycles and had to look hard to get one for Cyndy. Looks like a nice ride around the lake. Were you on roads with the cars or is there a bike trail?HD
Re: RV Sales Reply #8 – October 26, 2017, 07:38:23 pm Harold,This is my 46 year old Nishiki/American Eagle 10 speed. My first one was stolen less than a year after I bought it. Purchased the bike when I got my first line of credit from Dial Finance (my Dad Co-signed for me). Luckily the folks Home-Owners policy covered its replacement so I got the same one again.Total weight 16 lbs without the aluminium rack. The bike has a Magnesium Alloy frame. I had the bike rebuilt two years ago for what I paid for it new in 1971-$325.00.It’s durable, fast, the shifters are on the ends of the handle bars and I don’t cry when the wind blows it over while it’s on it’s stand (also aluminium). The rear wheel support wraps around the frame for added strength. Held up well when I got knocked to the ground years ago by some inattentive diver making a right at a stop light. Glad I was already stopped.The bike trail, for me, starts at Serrano and goes along the lake to the North End. Crossing over to the BB side, I follow the trail to the right at the Arco station and then hang another right at the bottom of the hill just before the Vons. The bike trail stays away from traffic for a few miles until it brings you back onto Big Bear Blvd. Traffic is fairly light during mid afternoon weekdays. Several somewhat daunting hills but nothing I couldn’t pace myself for. Never broke a sweat and really enjoyed the scenery and the downhills.Sure are a lot of nice places up here for sale. Surprising? Who knows?Great ride all-in-all. I’d never done it before and my typical 6.5 mike ride over to Vons and Starbucks was getting a bit boring so I ventured forth and conquered the beast. I really enjoyed the ride quite a bit. Kicking back now with a cold Coors and an episode of Scrubs on Hulu. Tough life, huh?Kent
Re: RV Sales Reply #9 – October 26, 2017, 07:59:58 pm Nice bike Kent. I thought it was a Nishiki from the view of the side of the emblem. They were beautiful bicycles.When I was in college, I saved my change in big beer cans for almost two years to buy a Nishiki Olympic 10 speed. Purchased in 1976, I think it cost $140, which was an awful lot of money for a guy working to put himself through school (seven years to get the BS) . I rode that bike for over 20 years and commuted to work three days a week for decades. I wish I never sold it. I'm glad you still have yours.We are heading for Agua Caliente county park in a few weeks with the Lazy Daze and then will be looking for a good weekend to hit Serrano after the holiday madness. If it is too chilly, we will head for Joshua Tree. We will be hauling the bicycles to both and if we get to Serrano we will do your ride.HDHD 1 Likes
Re: RV Sales Reply #10 – October 26, 2017, 08:11:06 pm Joan,Sorry for the hijack. It was totally unintentional.With that I do appreciate your OP on RV data. Inside there somewhere Lazy Daze resides and LONG after all the others die a miserable lonely life our sweet LD’s will carry on to greet the hoards of all the “Bright and Shiny’s” yet to come.Kent
