A Day in the Life...

Seriously? What, was nobody stopping at the stop signs?

Kevin

Na, No one knows who go's first... Then after a few seconds it becomes like a Chinese fire drill...

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Guess it's too much for folk these days to have any common sense...course these are the same folks who follow Most (not all) LEO's example and change lanes without using their turn signals....or tailgate as a matter of course.

ack...I can't get started on how disgusted I am with peoples driving habits.

When I was in elementary school (along time ago) I was working at the school during summer break and had to ride with the custodian (he was an old guy from Hungry) He would pull up to a stop sign count to four and step on the gas without looking for any traffic. I asked him what he was doing, he said after he counted to 4 it was his turn to go.

Last time I rode with him.

Funny you should mention the 4 second count, When i teach teach someone how to drive, When their the first one at a Red light ,I tell them not to go as soon as it turns green, Count to 3 then if its safe' go... Too many people run though a red light after it just turned red...And ''T'' bone the driver with the green light...

That would be funny if it was not so dangerous!!!

Hey, do you tell them to look both ways while doing their 3 count?

Another day in the office, while wishing I was on a Road Trip.

At least I got to ride in this morning, and will be riding home this afternoon!

Ride my 2017 TriGlide Ultra to work every day, but would rather be riding in the mountains.

 

[Jack Klarich]

I ride year round, that said my next trip is back to see DK and look and hang out if they let me :clapping:

Got a bunch of maintenance work to do this weekend. Oil & filter, shifter shaft, & misc. other items.

Kevin

 

[DK Custom Products]

hahaha, I was a dumbass....

I took a before photo-

Then I pulled the shift levers and the shift arm, inspected the shifter shaft, rotated it about 90* from where it was...it had worked loose and would not tighten down...then put everything back together.

Completely forgot to take any photos while doing the work.

Here is the after photo...which looks just like the before. :laugh:

Photo of the new EBS we are testing. It has about 900 miles on it and is working well.

Was a relaxing time working on the bike while it was lighting and pouring rain outside.

Crazy riding. He's no doubt got some skills...but, maybe a death wish too. I think the rocks look close, cause they are close!!!

Not that I ever had that kind of skill, but even in my younger days I never would do anything close to that level of insanity!

I don't know how, or why, but since I was 5 (now approaching 59) I've always loved to ride.

Dirt, mud, sand, street, even trials riding...it all does "something" for me.

One of the most alluring is riding into the sunset... just going another 100 miles at the end of the day, chasing the sun.

Those rare times when I can get away and ride for weeks on end...going wherever I want, are golden.

Yesterday, headed home from the shop, I just got a taste of chasing the sun...had to stop and take a few pics.

Woke up this morning with an itch for a road trip.

Unfortunately we have no road trips planned this year....maybe something will come together in early fall.

We are going east for a few days for the Larry Weaver Memorial get together (see this LINK) at the end of this month.

Here's a pic from a year or so ago when Mary and I were rolling thru Iowa.

Yeah, I wish. Too much going on to even be able to do anything more than think about it now and then. :xzqxz:

Woke up this morning.

Rode to work in 45*, light rain and 25 mph wind.

Been eyeballs deep in programming hell all day.

It's still windy, but dry and 70*.

Gonna take the long way home.

Hey Fred,

I think riding the BRP from end to end would be something you and your wife would really enjoy & remember.

We've wanted to do that a few times, but it has never worked out for us. The sections we've ridden have been breath-taking. We almost always do a bit when were out at the Smokies, and we got some miles on it on our Fall Colors Trip, but fog pushed us off of it after about a day.

Planning trips is a lot of fun! Enjoy!

Yesterday I did some trigger work on two Glocks, then spent some time making them go bang.



While I had fun...I need to get a set-up like this girl used.



Also got to test fit a few items on a couple of different bikes.

Today is some oil changes and an hour or so ride up north.

Kevin

 

[Fearless]

It would make a great group trike tour this fall ya kno....

Yeah, that will be really nice. That's also the time of year when it can be really foggy some days on parts of the BRP. That's what happened to us.

What month are you thinking about?

Not sure when do the leaves turn color? I'm sure it is after ours have peaked color. Maybe before they turn color and fog gets bad. fred

 

[OldAge]

Fog on the Blue Ridge can happen anytime. I have been detoured off from it a couple of times in July. Fog combined with bicyclists makes for an interesting ride.

Fred, there ya go, from someone that knows.

So I guess it is just a matter of which day one happens to be riding it.
