Earache

Check out the icy beer foam at the top - heaven! Mexican food tends to look like slop on a plate - all running together with a lot going on. Just the way it is. But it does taste pretty good.

I had the loudest and biggest bike - so that was the fun part for me!

My next bike

Still, it was a fun bike....

The thing got great holeshots and launched into the first turn faster than most of the 250's, but even with the motor work, it lacked the top end punch it needed.....

Some old pics of my XR450 from back in the day. These are from 1996 when my XR400 was punched out to a 450. larger TM carb added, high compression piston, HRC cam and much upgraded suspension. I raced in the 250-A class with it. The bike was still a bit lardy and took some muscle to throw it around, but I wasn't a small lad, either...

The Negra Modelo tap was dry, so had a couple of liter mugs of Tecate ....

Wife had some weird assed combination consisting of a halved pineapple stuffed with grilled chicken, beef and pork along with some peppers. Side of beans and totillas. Another night out at the local Mexican joint.

A few pics from last night's chow for @Pedro .... First is a platter of "enchiladas suizas" - basically a tortilla wrapped around shredded chicken and covered with a green chili sauce and cheese. Side of refried beans and rice. Almost heaven....

Sitting around talking to my buddy Dave in Indiana today. We settled on some dates and a rough time frame for a ride to California this summer. Dates are May 28th through June 6th; 8 nights 9 days to the coast and back. A little less mileage this time around - about 300 miles per day. Our vague route will include Lake Tahoe, Redwood Forests, Pacific Ocean, Crater Lake, Bonneville Salt Flats. See attached pic. As usual, if any of you casual riders would like to come along with us, you're more than welcome. So far, it's just myself, Dave and his wife Debbie going. Room for more!

You haven't missed anything. Snow is asshole deep on a 9 foot Indian, it's well be low freezing every day and riding bikes is but a dream that is 6 months away for me. But it is sunny today!

I only eat ribs in a few parts of the USA as they usually suck outside of those regions. Tennessee and Texas are the best areas to get ribs..... at least I think so.

I was looking at some old pics from last year's trip to Tennessee and saw some pics that @Pedro would like. My bud Dave and I had a couple of small racks of ribs, replete with cinnamon apples, mashed taters and a few liters of beer. Proper meal after a day's ride....

But that's pretty good for CT, isn't it? Premium is around $2.55 here.

I hate you all. Driveway is still snow covered as are the streets - need 4 WD just to get out of here. Plus it's still colder than shit, Should be out riding around May 20th or so............

Shopfront in Black Hawk...

Couple of the local hotties out for a ride. House then and now...

Main Street in Central City, today, 1957, 1940 and 1862.....

Yeah, once the people in the town quit chopping them down for building and fuel, they came back pretty fast.

It does, but it's just an old, crappy little town in the mountains.

On the way to Aspen, Mineral Creek overlook in 1890 and today....

We don't have a grocery store in town, or a petrol station or any other kinds of shops, but goddammit - we have an Opera House. Cause you never know when an opera might break out at any given moment. Pics from today, what looks like the 1920's and 1880....
