Rode last night, the rodes were empty and dry, I have the 1 1/4" drop block, and as I turned I heard that scrunch that the road to floor boards make. Had a great time. I will be riding again if the the chance comes up again.

I understand the difference between getting low mileage in my Dodge PU w/V8 than the motorcycle, but damn..we need rain in the southwest something fierce. Can't rely on a dwindling Colorado River for water as dry as it's been the past few years. Been able to shut off the sprinkers here in Las Vegas lately where water is expensive.

Went for a short ride yesterday after work with a friend. It was so nice. The road we were on has almost no traffic. We cruised at about 75 mph, for about 30 miles and we saw a total of 6 cars. Great road. Then cruised over for dinner at in/out burger. We had to get on the freeway and cruzed at around 80 mph. (any slower and we would have been run over).
Felt good. this weekend should be good.
Just have to stay away from the stadium, I think they have something going on there on Sunday  |

This past Monday, me and a couple more rode up to Chattanooga for another military funeral. We went with the Patriot Guard. It was 28 degrees when we left and had to go about 85 miles on I-75 at 75-80 mph. We were pretty well froze by the time we got there but it was well worth the effort. You can't do too much for these families who are giving up 20 year old sons. These are sad occasions but thankfully, they are getting fewer and fewer since the surge is working. Keep our troops in your prayers.

Sun and Mid 60's today. Looks like the chores won't get done today.
I can't sleep at night just waiting for the sun to come up just waiting to ride and I get mad when it gets dark. Does this ever end? I hope not.

Well Crap,
It was a great day to ride today. It would have been a better day if the gravel on a sharp curve had not have thrown me the curve.
No broken bones but the concrete culvert messed the bike up from headlight to tail light. 
I'm thankful for not having any serious injury but it sure hurts to see the bike.
Anyone been there? |
