Earache

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.

Playing along with Schenker and the boys today....

My odo after the ride. I predicted about 4,000 miles and wasn't far off. I skipped the Texas portion of the ride as I was outta time and had to get back home, or I'd have been at about 4,500 miles. Can't wait to do it again...

Mmmm ....fried cloaca. My favorite.

Good points = took a throw away part and created demand for them. Nice. The ones I had that night were damn near perfect, too - good chow with a few beers thrown on top for good measure.

Not really, always seemed to be a truckstop nearby exactly when I needed one. Worked out pretty well.

Last day of riding - 556 miles later and I'm home. No snow at the house so no issues there, although it was quite chilly when I pulled into the driveway at 5:00 PM...

Recap of yesterday's fun...

Maybe I'll see a train or abandoned building on the way home today - not holding my breath though. So here's a pic of the bike outside my hotel as filler....

Now you know why I forgot I took the pics - nothing out here....

I guess I did take some pics of Oklahoma - when I stopped to pee next to a cotton filed...

The roads in Arkansas are smooth as you like - and without any traffic....
