One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
If you don’t believe its July just trot your ass on down here to Georgia and feel the balmy 96F degrees I just left outside when I got home today!
Leo and Dave met me at 9AM for the little backroads ride up the country for lunch and then the July meeting in Blairsville.
They both opted [...]
After sleeping a wonderfully restful night’s sleep, I awoke to a mild backache and two cats wanting some food and attention. The back is a result of having way too much fun on Saturday with the guys up in the mountains of northwest Georgia…then riding 500 miles up the slab to Virginia Beach , VA. [...]
Eight o’clock AM is pretty early to leave the house on a ride. Especially if the weather tends to be on the cool side. When I pulled out of my driveway it was a balmy 44F degrees and some clouds hovering around the neighborhood. The clouds quickly dispersed and I made it over to our [...]
I knew for three weeks or more that I was going to make this ride down to Washington, GA for the club meeting, but what I didn’t know is how cold or wet it was going to be.
As it turned out, the day was dry and mostly sunny for the first half, but when I [...]
Wow, I can’t remember a nicer day for riding a motorcycle. I got out about 10 and rode up the slab to Jasper where I filled up with gas very quickly and deftly. I say deftly because I was wearing my new Draggin Jeans and my original waistlength black First Gear jacket I bought some [...]
The clocks were moved back (Daylight Savings Time) to save some daylight, and now the sun is streaming through the golden leaves in my back yard jungle…and I’m about to go out riding and really enjoy it all.
I’ll bring some pics back…Later.
Okay, its now later.
I ended up just taking a leisurely ride up 515 to [...]
Compared to the recent past, this does feel very cold this morning. I refuse to turn on the heat in October! It should not be this cold yet. Yesterday it rained on me in 45 degree temps as I rode the bike north through Dawsonville and to Dahlonega to meet a friend for lunch at [...]
Yesterday I put 250 more miles on the new F658GS trying to break it in properly for the first 600 miles. I led a friend from Virginia around north Georgia on some roads as he headed back north toward NC and home. We got up pretty early and drank some coffee then headed out toward [...]
It was a very nice day yesterday and I decided to join a couple other guys on a day ride up to the northeast corner of Georgia and then over to take a look at the Georgia Mountain Rally site to be held next weekend.
The slideshow is HERE, and it pretty much says it all.
I’m [...]
Sorry, no banjo.
I went to Alabama to try and sell my bike…the F650GS. I had a very promising prospective buyer and she wanted to see the bike. We made arrangements for each to ride part way between Birmingham and Woodstock, whereupon she would examine the bike and give it a test ride.
I just returned from [...]
