    Yea, need a road trip. Been trying to even find a vacant room in Reno for Street Vibs so far none. Just need to get away for awhile, personal family reasons. Wife can't go because of her sick cat so would have to go by myself. Might even point the nose and just go.

    I know what you mean. I have been wanting to get a nice road trip in all summer but with the issues I've had with my bike, it just was not possible. there is something about getting on the bike and being in the open air that just clears the mind up HUH?

    I hope that the things that are going are not too serious and can be worked out with just a little "me time"??

    I hope things work out and you get a chance to get that road trip in. :D:cool:

    why would you want a hotel room?

    don't you prefer to camp out? LOL

    Don't they have campgrounds in the area, no wait they'd have to mount slots on trees....

    Slots on trees hmmmm......

    Yes I would, but the only camp grounds are RV camp grounds and their full otherwise I would be camping.
    By the way in Reno their are no trees, except for a lone tree in someones yard. I would even go to Virgina City, all full up. My fault waiting so long.

    Going to do the MDA ride this weekend and then go to the Oktoberfest in a town called MT Angel and spend a whole lot of time in the beer garden.

    The family issues with my daughter have gotten worse. Wednesday morning I'm on the bike and leaving. Can't go much further west so heading east. I'll probably ride up to St Vibes anyway got a sleeping bag and a blanket and just go from there. Granddaughters birthday is Saturday but won't be there just need to get away before I do something I'll regret. :(

    Well got the oil changed today, bikes all cleaned up and packed. Got a friend who said to stop by in Virgina city and I could throw a blanket on the floor for a night. Works for me.

    Yea well here is what's happening. The so called Christian ex is causing more problems again, you would think after 20 years of being divorced that she would move on with life. She just can't stand it that my daughter and I have had a good relationship. Now she's trying to ruin that :gah:, I've had enough got to get away before I lay her out. I don't believe in hitting women and never have but this one could change my mind. My 88 year old mother said, I tried to tell you years ago, should have listened. Like I told my daughter tired of the games and don't need it.
    Pat, what a fantastic wife encouraged me to go and just get away for a few days. Pat said she is going to my daughters place on Saturday. If the ex is their for the granddaughters birthday party the daggers will come out. She just can't stand the thought that I remarried a better women than she could ever be.
    I hear their is going to be a good party Saturday night in Virgina city, might try to make it. Might make my way over into Utah, never been into Colorado who knows will see how far I can get.
    Got to be back in the middle of next week to take Pat to the airport and take care of the cats otherwise I would keep on going. She is meeting a friend in the New England states and they are going on a 10 day quilt shopping spree. To bad their is such a thing as UPS. :rolleyes:
    Sorry to lay my crude on you guys.

    getting it out sometimes helps.

    Women know what buttons to push
    and they do it to get our goats,

    Ride and get away....

    Got a good pic of me and this gal with her top down and another girl dropped her pants and let us guys kiss her on the ass. This was in the bucket of Blood in Virginia City. Tomorrow they said is going to be real wild. Bought me a bunch of bids strung on a necklace. The girls have to earn them. Just hope my camera battery holds up though Saturday there is some fine looking women here. Yea my head is feeling better lots of pics when I get back. My mom called and looks like I'm leaving early father in law had another bad stroke and she asked if I could come home as there not giving him any chance. Beer and wild women having fun.
