What did you do with your bike today?

actually Dods the are called an obstruction to navigation.

I went to Ocean City. Drove home in the downpour on the first. Started when I hit 404 and ended when I hit 50. I was running 35 mph and no one was pushing me. Any faster and I would not have been able to see.

I sat and waited for the dealer to call and tell me to come pick it up

Yes, it didn't pass inspection, horn wasn't loud enough? So I took them the air horn (Bad Boy) I was going to install. Unfortunately I won't get it tomorrow either. But it will be ready Friday.

Weather has been overcast with treaths of showers anyway. Not sure I wan to take that heavy beast out on wet roads yet.

Traded one in for another

Today I took my first ride on my new to me Royal Star. While doing this I dragged Chillin out of his comfort zone. We had many first for OJ:

first 100 + ride
first ride on a divided highway
first ride on a busy 4 lane highway
first ride throught the back roads to the bay

I had a great time, OJ might be curled up in a little ball in the corner of the closet or he might be ready to do it again. Time will tell.

Eye he is going to pull the plugs later and send you pics.

There is a run to Point lookout tomorrow

SPF 45 Eye be prepared.


I started the process on cleaning my bike, by cleaning all the chrome on the right side. Next will come the left side which is a carbon copy of the right. Then compounding, waxing and polishing the tins

But this time I am not doing it all at once and riding it between cleaning sessions. Have I mentioned how much heavier this bike is? And about 18" longer

Very nice Eye, except for those killer Manatees.

It is a shame the gators don't eat the Manatees. Ralph- you aren't that far from LA, how is the air quality? I haven't been there in years, but could not wear my contacts because of the air.


I went for a sixty plus mile ride. Still getting used to the extra weight.

Glorious day for a ride, jumped in the saddle and rode for about 5 hours.

Amazing isn't it. I don't even have to pay them.

I took a ride down to southern MD to another friends house. We went out to lunch and then put the power outlet and blinking brake lights on the bike. then I came back home.

I have had the Royal Star for one week as of 6pm today. I have put for 600 miles on it in that time. Gary (the friend Chillin met) and I are planning a trip to Maggie's valley in September.

4 great days in a row that I have not been able to ride. Finally I think I have all my ducks in a row and should be riding tomorrow unless it rains.

Chillin and I went for a ride for lunch

Went for a ride on the back roads of PA between York, the river and Bel Air MD

Mike,
The trip got cancelled, they are going to Vegas. So now I have to find someone and someplace else to go.

Not a darn thing. Best day to ride in months and I just felt tired so I didn't ride.

Took a very short ride today testing out my new windshield. Will take a longer ride on Sunday to give it a proper test.

Notice a difference?

Lot's of nice iron there

Sounds like you had a good time, can't wait for the pictures.

I rode across the most dangerous bridge in the US (if you believe or news media) to Salisbury to see what the vendors had to offer for bikeweek. About 220 miles round trip. Mustang seat is good for a non-stop ride there.
