starting to get this whole "stopping" thing.
Normally I go out and hit my riding spots. No stopping except for gas. Lately I have been hitting some checkpoints. Stop for some coffee at one. Bagels at another. Stretch at a memorial. Piss at the national cemetery.
You end up striking up conversations with folks and it turns out there are some nice, interesting people on this shitty island. Today was a guy who made his own carbon fiber and bamboo bicycle. Also a Motto guzzi rider. Sorry for the lame post. Just not used to friendly people around here. I'm also typing this because I'm having coffee and there are hot girls. I need to look busy. Too much pressure to strike up conversation and I'm a married man. So I'm going to type away on my phone. Shot. I think I'm.....yup. got some chub. Now I am stuck here until it goes away. Damn first world problems. |

Chub hiding is an issue world-wide. More than one tribal war has been sparked over a misplaced boner...

I use to work with a guy who was just a hardcore harley rider. Not as in a 1% but he just rode however he wanted to. The guy's ridden to Alaska, Canada, Mexico, and all over the US. He would always tell me stories from his adventures and they were always really cool or sometimes just plain weird. But it is shit you only get to experience on a motorcycle.

I don't ride to strafe the shit out of roads, I ride to see places I haven't been before. Once, when riding the shitville back roads, I stopped just to take a couple of pictures and watch the horses in a pasture, while having a drink. The woman who owned the place came out and we had a nice talk, for almost an hour. She was from Detroit and married to a guy from Windsor, Ontario. No, it didn't turn into a Penthouse Forum letter, but it's the sort of thing I like about riding.
Seriously; no one is going to bite on the 'having a piss at (on) the national cemetery' comment?

Timing usually works out that I gotta go when I'm in range of the place. Its like having to pee just as you start fumbling the keys to get in the house. Occasionally I'll go and say hello to Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. |
