Earache

It was 90F/33C in Denver on Thursday.

I never said that. I said you were a twat. (just kiddin')

So Plan B is to throw my bike into the truck and haul it to somewhere in Kansas, drop the truck and continue onwards. Just gotta find someplace to leave the truck for 10 days. Then it's onwards to New York, Vermont , Maine and a bunch of lobster dinners. More to come.........

All set to head out on Tuesday the 24th and ride to Todd's in Missouri. And then this shit happens today. 20 fuckin' inches of slop....

As with any trip, new tires are the first thing to get sorted. Slapped on yet another set of Trailmax Missions this week.....

Got a burr up my ass to ride to Maine. Dunno why, just seemed like a good idea. So I talked my riding buddies Dave and his wife Debbie (R1250GS) as well as Todd (junky assed Ducati) to come along with me. 10 days and about 6,500 miles for me, 1,500 less for Dave (he lives in Indy) and Todd is in between as his lives in Columbia, Missouri. The basic route....

Windy as Hell here and although sunny, it's pretty freakin' cold out (19F / -8C). So I'll probably stay off the bike this weekend

It appears that some guy with a starter case of Bell's Palsey is attempting to justify his bad decisions about riding by making a video touting how great it is.

Let's Go Brandon !

Stupid assed kid....

They road had just been plowed and the ripples were made of soft, silty dirt. Not really rough at all. Fun road to ride.

Good. You can keep it.

Can't believe that MotoBummer and I got out to ride yesetrday...in November! 70F / 22c out and sunny. Only got in a couple hundred miles and a little bit of dirt road riding...

Did a big batch on Monday, chocolate chippers - the only kind I can make....

55F / 13C (for the @Buckster ) and sunny. Good enough for me. But if we ride up in elevation, it'll be a lot cooler. Will have to stick to the valleys as much as possible.

Gonna be sunny tomorrow - am going to attempt to get out for a spin. Can't wait...

(32°F − 32) × 5/9 = 0°C HTH. XXXOOO, Cuntly McCuntface

Thanks for finding joy in my pain . It just wasn't a good bike - in any way.

I have that exact same bike - worst piece of shit ever. Slow and cumbersome, whizzy brakes, leaked oil and just an all around shitbox. Will never own anything from BMW again.

Just stopped by the local hardware store to get some bolts. they have a weapon clearing station near the front (next to the candy, of course). They practice better weapon safety than our boy Alec does....

Best bands I saw Cheap Trick Rush Deep Purple Kiss (good show crap music) George Lynch Ted Nugent Scorpions AC/DC (with and without Bon) Saxon Black Sabbath (with Ozzy and with Dio) UFO Primus LA Guns Megadeth Metallica Guns n Roses Faster Pussycat Motorhead Ozzy Def Leppard Van Halen Wendy O. Williams (not Plasmatics) ZZ Top The Babys Iron Maiden MSG ...and a shitload more that I can't think of right now. Used to go to a lot of concerts back when I was just a kid Worst bands I saw Rolling Stones Fleetwood Mac Bread Rare Earth Charlie Daniels Slaughter Winger The Ramones Genesis

Well fuck all you guys - I got to see Ram Jam back in the day....

No shit - what's the first thing you do when handling a weapon; ya check the freakin' tube for a round and then ya sure as shit don't point it anyone and pull the trigger. The shooter in this case fucked up.
