When someone poses the question "Do you wanna drive 2000 miles in three days to go pick up a motorcycle?" The only possible answer is, HELL YEAH!

Details to come soon.

If you have incriminating pics or video post them here.

I have a pic of Grio on your head.

Look for stories regarding the following:

Snuggle Bee
Helga the angry German
Bacon Muffins
999
Dick Jokes
CB350
Happy dance
Sex and chocolate chip cookies
And quotable quotes for 200 Alex
Elf costume
Wait what?

San Dimas High is not ready for these kinds of antics.

 [popcorn]

Oh, I want to read stories and see pics  [evil]

What else are road trips for  ;D

I hear ya'r com'n home with two bikes in the back of the truck  [cheeky]

Not sure about taking temporary custody of  "Snuggle Bee"  ;)

You forgot about dick punching and trailer park girls.  WTF, SD? 

Oh....Ryan's happy dance...Nein Nein Nein Happy Dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g60jTuhG6ks&feature=youtube_gdata_player#normal)

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Yes, I'm a dork...  But, it doesn't matter because

The only problem I've noticed with the bike so far is it tends to rev up to about 8,000rpm whenever it goes under a bridge or through a tunnel. ???  Anyone else experience this?   [evil]

 ;D

Also, does anyone know how I can make the Happy Dance vid my Avatar?  I'd like to do that...  [cheeky]


 [bacon]

He also forgot about the Captain America pics wearing his red cape too... [roll]

 ;D





 [bacon]

Awesomeness! Will this have a full write-up?

Expecting lotsa pics!!!!

Stew's 848 Captain America Edition was missing something. Oh yeah, a cape!

Yes, coming soon...

We just drove 2,000+ miles in three days, with some riding,  [bacon] muffins, and Hendrick's Gin and St. Germaine thrown in along the way.  Not to mention Thanksgiving dinner in Phoenix.

I'm gonna take a nap   ;)






 [bacon]

Yep. I'm laying in bed friggin exhausted right now. Here is the basic outline of the trip. I will let others fill in the silly details with more pics and video.

Basically this trip was all Duc Stew's fault. He found a Bacon Junkie a deal on a 999 that simply could not be passed up. What was originally gonna happen was that Stew was going to bring the 999 out to SoCal we he came out to pick up the chasis for his m750CR. But that would be in Dec. Ryan, the man of logic that he is, decided it would make a lot more sense to drive the 1,000 miles out to Alubuquerque to pick it up. He asked me if I wanted to go.

Um, a ridiculous and unnecessary road trip for a stupid distance on a tight time frame? Um, HELL YEAH!! But my wife's family was coming into town for Thanksgiving and would never disappoint my nieces and nephews when they want to see. But they are all crazy and couldn't get it together, so I told them to stay in Pheonix and we would come to them. In the meantime Stew found a cb350 on craigslist for my wife. Awesome!

Bacon Junkie came up to Santa Barbara Wednesday night and we had dinner with my wife, her friend and her friend's mom (who is 71 and has a huge crush on Bacon Junkie, her dad used to put her on the tank of his Ducati when she was young!). We got on the road at 7:30am Thanksgiving Day and made it out Pheonix by 3:30pm. We had TG dinner with my wife's sisters and parents and the nieces and nephew. Then we ate cookies and played with the kids all night They had a blast and so did we. We tried to get in bed at 9:00 but a thousand hugs from the kids pushed bed time back to 10:00pm. I miss those little rugrats.

We set our alarm for 3:00am (not a typo!) and were back on the road by 4:00am with a bit over 500 miles to go to get to Albuquerque. Breakfast in Flagstaff then a long drive through a whole lot of nothing brought us into ABQ at around 1:30pm. We went straight to the local Ducati Dealer to meet DucStew and Dusty and to close the deal on Bacon Junkie's 999. Has he mentioned he got a 999? Because he did. With the deal done Bacon Junkie understandably did his happy dance (see above). It was great to see Stew again and meeting Dusty was a pleasure, a beautiful and fun woman for sure. They took us to a great little Irish Pub for lunch and beer.

We road  back to Stew's shop to stow the 999  until the morning and to check out the cb350. The little honda was in great shape. It did however have the original tires. For anyone who hasn't done 50mph on 40 year old tires let me tell you that it is nerve wracking, stupid, a just a shit load of fun. I will post up more about this bike as I get it in working order (including new tires!)

After taking turns on the cb350 we went back to Stew's pad to get ready for dinner. There we met Larry who also happens to own a 900ss. He mentioned he had a few spare parts so he and I ran over to his shop before dinner. He hooked me up with some pegs, a front fender and a service manual for very reasonable prices. Bonus! Thanks Larry!

Dinner was a lot of fun. We got to meet Plumber's Crack and DucMouse and eat good food from a hibachi. Afterward Stew made me what may be the best drink I have ever had. Truly a marvel of alcoholic engineering. I'm hooked.

[THIS PORTION HAS BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT SNUGGLE BEES]

Bacon and I were asleep by 10pm. Bacon was up at 4am with the stomach problems from dinner. I slept until 6:30am because I had no such problems. This is why you drink as much alcohol with dinner as possible people. Alcohol kills germs.

Unfortunately alcohol also shreds stomach lining. I couldn't quite stomach breakfast. Or was it the asshole in the cafe that was screaming into his cell phone that was making me nauseous? After breakfast we headed over to Stew's shop. He tossed a new chain on the 999 and fabbed up a bracket to keep the temp license from rubbing the rear wheel. When DucMouse showed up on her m1000 we mounted up and headed out to Coffee at Dawn. Stew had arranged for me to ride a m900 (Stew please tell me again whose bike that was so I can properly thank him) which was fun. Stew was on the 848 Capt. America with Dusty as pillion and Ryan was on the new 999. Did he mention he got a 999? Because he did. The wonderful lady at Coffee at Dawn made a batch of her Bacon Maple Muffins just for us. They were frickin' fantastic! I'm not going to remember everybody's name, but several other DMFers met us there as well. Please post up if you were there so it can jog my memory.

We went up into the twisties for a bit, but the roads were in rough shape with a lot of water, ice and sand. Still it was beautiful. We headed back to Stew's shop, loaded up the bikes ad said our goodbyes. Our 24 hours in ABQ were up. We hit the road wishing we had more time to spend with our old friend Stew and our new friends too. 1000 miles, 17 hours and 11ty billion dick jokes later we were back in Santa Barbara, exhausted and happy.

This was the dry, no frills version of the story. And I've left out a lot simply because I'm tired.There was a lot of shenanigans and rediculousness that I will let others relay. Liquor was consumed, laws were broken, boobies were ogled and stuffed animals were sexually violated.

To all of my new New Mexican friends, when the winter becomes unbearable and you need to ride, you always have a place to stay in sunny SoCal and Bacon Junkie and I will be happy to take you on a tour through the canyons.

Thank you all so much!! I had a blast!

Welcome back boys!!

Did pretty much the same trip you guys did back in May...LA to Roswell and back in 3 days.  But mine involved cats.  Probably not as many dick jokes and very little drinking.

So how about posting the videos where we can see 'em?

Sorry about that. They work fine for me. I think I know the problem. I'm working on it.   :-[


sac

Yes, yes...  I'm glad the boys made it home w/the bikes.  Bacon Junkie with his '05 999 and Sac Duc with Polpetta's '71 CB350.

We did have a blast.  Bacon Junkie got his first taste of 'superbike-dom' with a 140+ mph indicated run east bound on the I40 as he drooled in anticipation of the above pictured goodness that IS the maple-bacon muffin.

Sac Duc got to run the M900 belonging to the generous nicrosato who has bestowed its storage and maintenance upon me.  Thanks again Nic, you are a good friend.

Say, did I mention that Bacon Junkie got a 999?  'Cuz he did...  [moto]

 [thumbsup]
 [drool]

Video Unavailable does me no good.

That's funny.

I did the exact same thing in the same direction on the same road on my old S4.

Only it was a little over 1,700 miles down the road from you guys.   [laugh]

One difference...  He still had 2 gears left...

 [evil]


I can neither confirm nor deny said said comments made by Duck-Stew.  ;)

All I know is I still haven't gotten it outta 4th!!  [moto]




[bacon]

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Fair enough.

 ;D

This was one of my more memorable roadtrips...  Besides the whole getting a 999 thing (did I mention that? Because I did!), the people, the experiences, everything was just fantastic.

I got to see my Brother from a different Mother... Duck-Stew, having turkey dinner with Sac Duc and Polpetta's nieces and nephew in Phoenix, meeting several of the NMMR Hooligans (ducmouse has some questionable video footage from her helmet cam  :o ), 2,000+ miles of delirious comments and inappropriate jokes, Maple Bacon Muffin deliciousness, flaming dinner plates, beanie hat trading, too much drinking, throttle blipping, children scaring, all around good time havin', etc... [thumbsup]

Someone did 140+, and they weren't even on a 620 Capirex!!!   ;)

Also, when we got the cb350 off of my truck at Sac Duc's house, Polpetta was just about jumping out of her skin.  :)  I wish you guys all could've seen the expression on her face the first time she kick-started that bike...

She would kick it, rev it for 15-20 seconds, then shut it off and giggle uncontrollably.
This process was repeated about 8 times in a row.  It was awesome!   8)

Thanks to everyone involved in making this such a great weekend!!!   [clap] [clap] [clap]




 [bacon]

Everything about that trip sounds like an awesome time.   [thumbsup]

It's been a long time since I've had a road trip like that.  Color me jealous.   [beer]

WTF..I missed Bacon-Sac in PHX?!   ???


Congrats on the Nove-Nove-Nove regardless! 

We were only there from 6pm-3am...  Basically had T-Day dinner, a drink, then a few hours sleep.

Next time we'll give you a headsup, but you'll probably have moved by then anyway...   ;)

 ;D



 [bacon]

 [cheeky]

You're right though..we'll be in the valley through next summer and then making a break for it.   [moto] 

I'm glad to hear that Big Red (my M900) had a small role in this production.

Is it true that Bacon Junkie got a 999?

Sounds fun [thumbsup]

Next time I have the urge to post "Ducati's making a motard?"  Im going to instead post "Bacon Junkie got a 999?"

;D

Return the bike, tranny is damaged !!!
I'm joking you know that, don't cha?

 [laugh]


No damage, I just need to grow a pair...  ;)

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] ... did you read the fine small print?  [bacon]

Not sure why this thread got locked, but it's open again...   ???  [thumbsup]

Excellent!  I look forward to reading the further adventures of Sac o' Bacon....or is that Sac 'n Bacon....or is that Bacon-Sac? 

Hey...what goes 142 miles per hour in a ....wait.....you already heard that one, didn't you?  Well, did you hear that The Bacon Junkie got a 999?  Well, he did!  Nein, nein, nein?  Yah, yah, yah!

Here's the Moto porn:

The black one is Bacon Junkie's 999. Did he mention that he got one? Because he did.

By the way, Bacon Junkie named his new SBK "Helga the Angry German." Tell everybody. He did so because she is obviously saying "no" in German three times. Nein! Nein! Nein!

sac

I still contend that the **9 series are some of the best looking superbikes in all of motordom.

+1
Congrats, Junkie! (First time I've ever used that phrase for legal activity)

Congrats on the trip 9! I love mine. I'm sure the new Duc sbks are awesome but I have purposely avoided riding friends' 848/1098s or AMS demo rides. Don't even want to try one. [bang] That way I will remain faithful to my 999. ;D Just wish my neck and upper back weren't toast. Even with taller Ferracci bars my physical problems limit the distance I can ride her. But every time I do I'm always glad I have kept her. Good luck with yours! [thumbsup] [moto] [beer] Enjoy.

I hate you...

By the way, did Sac mention he carries his leathers in a quilted flowery gear bag? Because he does!  [laugh]

:D


Dude!!! I got a 999!  ;D


Thanks!  I can't wait to give a more thorough test of her abilities!
More will be posted on that soon...   [evil]




[bacon]

Or ..... your abilities  ???  [bacon]

I say we take it out this coming Sunday...rip up to visit SacDuc in SB!!

[laugh] [laugh]


BTW..Congrats on the 999 Bac.  I heard you got one!!  [thumbsup]

Are you serious?  Ducati is making a motard???

Cool. Come on up. There is an outside chance I will have the SS put back together by the time you get here. Maybe we can go scrub in my new shoes on a jaunt up the 154.

sac

If the wheels aren't on, maybe Robert will let you ride Cupcake!   :-*


Yeah, that's a pretty accurate statement too!   [laugh]

I know I've got decent skills, put this bike will definitely force me to up my game.  For the first few weeks, I'll be riding her pretty easy, just getting a feel for how she handles, clutch engagement, brakes, how she handles, etc...

As Sac Duc pointed out to me, I've got premature apex-ation.   [laugh] 
It's sensitive and requires a more gentle touch when laying her over in a corner.

I've got to get used to braking and turning later than I did on the Monster.

That being said, she's VERY easy to ride, pulls strong from down low, cruises with ease, 75-80 in 3rd gear all the way to work.  I clicked 4th and even though the revs were down around 4,000rpm she chugged along with no complaints. 

As far as ergos go, she almost feels more upright than my Monster did.  When I put clipons onto the monster, they were below the tank and my chest rested easily.  I feel like I'm higher above the 999's tank and further forward. Still very comfortable. 

Well, I'm geared up and headed home from work. I LOVE the sound this thing makes in the parking structure at work!!!  Car alarms don't like it too much, though!   [evil]

I'm off, catch you all in a bit...   [moto]




[bacon]

 What [bacon] Junkie.....got a 999 :o

 ;) Well I haven't seen it yet  [cheeky]

If you do come up for a visit/ride.... I will be happily kick starting my bike and giggling in the drive way!

My brother and my 5 year nephew came over today to see my new bike and of course I had to kick start her. My nephew and I quote said " she sounds like a robber"  [evil] of course I got to tell him she is old school, as old as his aunt  ;D Then he got distracted because he wanted to show my brother Carl's SS (he got to sit on last time!) I sent both his parents a picture of him on my bike today!  [evil]

Easy, now.  Road trip, tranny...that's how rumors get started.





 ;D

Joel

 [bacon]Junkie,

It seems you have some homework to do with sagging suspensions, dialing rear height, figuring out best tire presure combinations for street/track, figuring braking points and finger presures and figuring out that issue with the bike being stuck in 4th gear ...  ;D

Really, at times, I feel my 'baby' M620 is more than I can handle; no track days here, no formal bike riding school, so, I do feel your approach is the best ... slow & easy ... even though you made it rough with Rosie ... Helga's different ...  [moto]

Keep us updated while you keep the rubber side up ...remember, don't be a squid ... [thumbsup]

i'll assume you read the fine small print ...  ;D

Awesome.   [thumbsup]


sac

The only tranny that may have suffered damage is the clutch, first gear, and maybe reverse in my pickup.  Apparently, Carl's philosophy is, "If this piece of shit won't go into gear the first time, just push harder on the shift lever until it does!".  ;)


Hahaa!! I wish I had taken a picture the first time you kicked her to life... The look of absolute sheer delight and giddiness on your face was priceless!   ;D



[bacon]

For the record, I named the bike Sogne di Mezzanotte (Midnight Dream in Italian), or "Sonia" for short...

After I making a joke about riding it slow, and me saying she's a 999, so nein! Nein!! NEIN!!! Carl thought it would be hilarious to try and convince the entire DMF that her name was "Helga"   [roll]  ;)

It's actually quite funny that you called my bike that...   [laugh]

Oh, and Carl...  You suck!  >:( 


 :-*




 [bacon]

I'm glad you like the ergos of the 999. I did the Ferracci bars and Zero Gravity Double Bubble upgrade before the crushed neck vertebrae "thing" and really liked it. I have to have it now. Of course Heli-bars makes a nice set of taller bars too. Not much else to recommend other than watching the miles tick over on the odometer. I have stuck with the stock Michelin Pilot Powers and have been very happy. I don't do track days but I am sure they would handle it very nicely. Good street tire. [thumbsup] Hope she treats you well and you do the same for her! [moto] [clap]

Just ordered some parts for the CB.

Cafe Style Seat
New Cans
Clubman Bars
Pod Filters
Mirrors
Cables

Now I gotta find tires and grips and get oil, gaskets and assorted other bits. Gonna take me a few weeks to get her in shape but she will fit the wifey perfectly when I am done. Then I can start fabbing the aluminum bits that she wants. This is gonna be a fun bike.

sac


/was I supposed to push in the clutch when going from reverse to first?   ???
//and your bike's name is Helga, Suck It pregnant dog!!

Fixed...   :-*

I can't wait to see the Cheese Burger 350 all Cafe'd out!  Mel is gonna be happier than me with a plate of bacon!   ;D

So, is your bike gonna be up and running this weekend so we can ride?   [evil]



Fastwin- Thanks for the info.  I'm leaving her as is for the most part for now. 
She's already got a Termi slip-on, DP Performance mirrors, integrated turn signals, Rizoma open clutch cover, and some other stuff.

It's got a Pilot Power on the rear, and I put a new, stickier Power Pure on the front.  I really like the way the Pure feels and wears on the front...  [moto]


 [bacon]

Sweetness! [thumbsup] [moto] [clap]

A few weeks???

WTF is wrong with you?!?  This should take like 8 minutes.

;)

HUSH YOU!!!   ;)

I'm trying to be responsible... for once, cuz you know, acquiring a 999 is SOOO responsible!  [laugh]



 [bacon]

Hows Helga?? 

:-* ;D [laugh]

Carl's gotta get his SS running because I dont have parasite pegs on my ride.

This might be the only time I get to ride AHEAD of Ryan while he's breaking himself in on  Sonia.   [cheeky]

Great bike. Great story (not sure about a bacon muffin....)

Nothing that exciting seems to happen here on the right coast......

I Hate You...   >:(




;D



That's because the right coast is the WRONG coast!   [cheeky]

Don't knock the bacon muffins until you've tried them!   [drool]


[bacon]

OK, so the right coast is actually the left coast? or ...

No, the left coast is the wrong coast.  ;)

now i'm more confussed ...  ;D

The right coast is the right coast

The left coast is the better coast

I miss my family on the right coast

But get to ride my 999 year-round on the left coast  [moto]


On the subject of Bacon Muffins, the owner of Coffee At Dawn in Albuquerque just emailed me her recipe for her Maple Cream Cheese frosted Bacon Cupcakes!!!   [drool] [bacon]

[bacon]

 [thumbsup]
 [drool]

This is rapidly becoming NMC fodder.

How could it get more MC?  Motorcycles (witness discussion of 999s AND CB350s), bacon, muffins, roadtrips, riding motorcycles, more bacon, meeting friends, additional bacon......I mean.....how could this thread possibly go sideways?  If you want NMC, check out the OCC thread on the general....all they're talking about is cash management and loan modifications and what dirtbags the Teutuls are.  NOTHING ABOUT BIKES AT ALL!!!!!

On a serious note, shouldn't discussion of motorcyclists and their behavior (like roadtrips) be considered appropriate content?  Just askin'.

How's the SS coming along, Carl?  (there...see.....motorcycle content!)  How's Helga, er, I mean, Sonia, Ryan?  (more motorcycles)  When you gonna post up that recipe?  (no motorcycles, but bacon, so no penalty incurred).

Find the humor, oh Humorless One!   ;D

Thanks for asking Cloner. My 900SS MOTORCYCLE will hopefully be put together this weekend. Just gotta pick up a chain, axle grease and and stuff for an oil change. New shoes are mounted and front signals have arrived. I'll have to paint the fairing at some point as well, but they can always be done after I get the MOTORCYCLE in working order. I will post pictures of my MOTORCYCLE when it is complete.

It sure was nice of that lady at Coffee at Dawn to make those muffins especially for a us when we rode our MOTORCYCLES to her cafe. I mean, its little things like that that make a 2000 mile road trip to pick up two MOTORCYCLES fun and interesting. For those that don't know, Coffee at Dawn is at the the base of a twisty road that MOTORCYCLISTS frequently ride their MOTORCYCLES on. And the lady there does a really great job embracing the MOTORCYCLING COMMUNITY instead of treating us like loitering deadbeats. She even offered to give Ryan the recipe to her Bacon Muffins after she heard his screen name was Bacon Junkie on a MOTORCYCLE forum. Which was really nice of her.

By the way did Ryan mention that he got a 999 MOTORCYCLE? Because he did.  ;D

sac

Carl...run without the gray bits.  I think the SS looks good that way.  And by SS, of course, I mean a motorcycle.

More pictures of MOTORCYCLES would help this thread immensely. [laugh]

I dunno...

right coast..

left coast...

muffins...

musta been that.  ;D

Oh, the muffins are  [bow_down]  [thumbsup] [drool] [clap]!

Anymore pics of MOTORCYCLES at the popular MOTORCYCLE meet up place that serves said maple  [bacon] muffins and  [coffee] to MOTORCYCLIST?

 [moto] parts have started arriving for my CB  [evil]

My  [moto] was one of the reasons for this Excellent Adventure.....well of course secondary someone who got a

999

and the guys seeing Stu.....and there always has to be some [bacon] involved or what would be the fun  [cheeky]

But clearly there where  [moto] ridden,  [moto] talked about,  [moto] ogled, and  [moto] spanked, and the best... good... new and old  [moto] friends made or together again!


(why else with the guys leave me and drive 2000 miles in 3 days over a holiday without me  [cheeky] )

I'll see what I can find, Bick.  For reference, Coffee at Dawn is Albuquerque's version of the Rock Store, for those of you on California time, or Albuquerque's version of The Crossroads of Time for those of you near Deal's Gap (though it's not as busy as either of those venues, as there are only a couple of million folks in the entire State of New Mexico!!)

Ducati is generally well represented on a Sunday morning during riding season and there are a few dozen of us who frequent Coffee at Dawn regularly.  Among the core group of folks who hang out up there are my '95 SS/SP and MH900e, Duck Stew's 848 Hayden, DucMouse's S2R1000, Plumber's Crack's S2R800, DucDog's 1198, J.J.'s 1098S Tricolore (soon to be replaced post-wad), Zaster's S4RS and 1098S, Ratfink's 749S, GratefulDuc's Streetfighter S, and several folks who aren't members of this board including an 851, an 888, and several other Monsters.  Occasional visitors include almost any Ducati you could imagine from narrow case singles to round case twins to 1098R. 

There are also TONS of other bikes that show up including a couple of Vincent Rapides, a '50s Norton Single, the occasional Parilla, several Benellis, Guzzis, early HDs, British cafe specials, /2 and later Bimmers, a VERY sexy Laverda Jota, virtually every modern Japanese model conceivable along with several vintage models.  A brisk Sunday morning might include glimpses of a couple of hundred bikes in the parking lot.

I know I've taken a few pics, but I'll have to see what I can dig out for ya.  Give me a day or two to scrounge.   [coffee]

I'd like to see some pics of that gathering. Very cool! [thumbsup] I live in the DFW, TX area and would love it if we had anything approaching that level of coolness. [popcorn]

So - most importantly - where the hell is the recipe for these muffins??

Unfortunately, I can't divulge that information publicly...  ;)

I will, however, make anyone a batch if they come out to CA and ride [moto] with me on my 999. 
Did I mention I got a 999? Because I DID!   :D

Sac Duc and Polpetta are lucky...  They live about an hour away from me.  I have a feeling they will get a taste of the Maple Bacon Motorcycle Muffins soon...  [drool]

I've looked over the recipe and think that it needs a little more bacon.  I'll let you hooligans know how it turns out!   :-*

Here's one I found, taken at CAD sometime in '09:

/notice the bacon belt on His Royal Baconness

I think we need to change the answer to the question, "What Would Sac Duc Do?" to "Spank It Backwards!!!"   [laugh]


Yes, I have a bacon belt.  I also have a bacon wallet, bacon water bottle, bacon watch, AND a "Bacon vs. Tofu" Game!  :D





Oh, yeah... To all of you who keep pm'ing me asking if the rumors are true, the answer is:


I got a 999! The rumors are true...  Because I DID!!!   [laugh] 

See...?  It's right there in the back of my truck...  It's the shiny black one with 999 on the side!   [drool]


 [bacon]

What rumors? You got a what? And where did you find a bacon belt? Inquiring minds want to know. ;D Tasty... [thumbsup]

They're no longer rumors, because I did get a 999...!  [evil] :D ;D


They Bacon Belt is courtesy of Sac Duc's wife, Polpetta.  She sells them along with the other items I mentioned above.  8)

Sac and I even had bacon chocolate for the trip!   [drool]


 [bacon]

I don't recall Coffee at Dawn having delicious Bacon Maple Muffins when I lived in ABQ and used to ride out there on my Monster (or 996SPS, or 999S)  >:(

Great place to meet other motorcyclists, and  [drool] on their motorcycles, however.  [thumbsup]

You have to time it right.

When I met up with Larry for a mid-week ride on The Crest earlier this summer, he on his Streetfighter, me on my flogged S2R, she just put them out.

When I met Stu and the rest of the ABQ crew up there the following Saturday, said Maple  [bacon]  [moto] Muffins were not ready yet.

They are the awesomeness.  [thumbsup] [drool]

Yes they are!   [drool]




By the way, did I mention I got the [bacon] Muffin Recipe? Because I DID!!!   ;D


 [bacon]

I might have to set aside my vegetarian ways for a day and try those effin muffins.  Make sure you makem' with EXTRA bacon.  With bacon sauce on the side.

and bacon frosting

Bacon frosting.....on a 999 MOTORCYCLE?  That's gross!  Or is the bacon frosting for Ryan....cause that'd turn Carl on something fierce.   ;D

I hate you.  >:(

sac

We are looking forward to these being delivered on shiny black 999 with  [bacon] Junkie riding it!  ;D

 [laugh]

Nice! 

That's what you get Carl for trying to convince everybody that I named my MOTORCYCLE  Helga!   :-*


I'll ride up to your place, but I'll have to bake the [bacon] cupcakes there.
That way they'll be nice and warm fresh outta the oven!  [drool]




[bacon]

Cool! Looking forward to those cupcakes!  ;)

You named your motorcycle Helga?! That's awesome!

Wait, you got a motorcycle? I hadn't heard!  :D

Dude! I got a 999!!!   [laugh]

 [bacon]

So, on longer is her name HELGA? .... why ? ... OK, Sonia is an Italian name ... you could haved called her Gina ....

Her name never was Helga...
That was Sac Duc making a joke about 999 = Nein Nein Nein! (no in German)   [roll]

Sonia is short for Sogne di Mezzanotte, or Midnight Dream...   [wine]



 [bacon]

OK ... SAC!!! you don't play around with other's girl's ....

Mine's named Gina, as in Gina Lolobrigida ...

I stand by what I said. Her name is Helga. You can tell by her accent.

sac


/Nein! Nein! Nein!

 [laugh]

I hate you...   :P


 :-*

Her [bacon] says otherwise ...

Is  [bacon] not treating her right?

I would think if she were a properly treated, she would be saying Si Si Si oh Dio!

Unfortunately, I haven't been treating her the way she deserves to be treated.   :(

I've been sick in bed with Strep, and she's just sitting in the garage wishing she was doing 140mph+ in 4th gear... Not that I'd be so irresponsible as to do that...   [evil]

If I'm able to get out of bed, maybe I'll be able to take her out on Sunday...   :-\

I did drag myself down to the garage this afternoon and started her up... She liked that.   ;D




 [bacon]

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Me eating the Bacon Muffin...  I'm such a dork!   :)


Did you see the part when I was riding my new 999?  I got one!  Her name is Sonia!   ;D






 [bacon]

Wait. What was that?

Did you say you got a 999?

I did say I got a 999... what, you didn't hear?!  Dude, where have you been?   [cheeky]




 [bacon]

Someone got a 999? I sure like mine! [laugh]

What??

Stu!  Miss riding with you bud!

Is that Sacduc on the red Monster, with the shiny superhero outfit on?

+11tybillion!!!

Yes, Sac got a good deal on shiny new leathers from someone here on the board. 

He needs to break them in though... they seem a little, umm, snug.   ;D




 [bacon]

 [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

 
Wait What  ??? I just thought it was some black Thingy and i could have swore she was telling me her name was Helga  [popcorn]

I hate you...   >:(

Just kidding... you're awesome!

 ;D


 [bacon]

I hate you as well  8)

j/k i think your spanktastic


and why is it that it always seems like your sick? i mean you can always bring her back and i'll make sure she gets some riding time in  ;)

Every time we go on a road trip he gets a throat infection. He also seems to spend an inordinate amount of time in the men's room at the rest stops.

Draw your own conclusions.


sac

Funny... it only seems to happen during/after a road trip with you.  hmmm.... 

 ;)




 [bacon]

I should wash more.

sac



/MOTORCYCLE!!

Strep?  Ick.   Bacon soup for you!

how you doing  [bacon] junkie?
feeling better ....
bike suddenly turned on oil light on dash ... :-X

congrats on the new bikes!

And, I agree with someone early in this thread that said the 999 series are an icon that will be more appreciated with age!  I have always liked them, and would still put them up against the 109* series if I had to choose [thumbsup]

mitt

Miss you too Buddy!!!   One day, we'll ride together again...

Think we could fit Robert into an Elf costume too?  [evil]




 [bacon]

Is it just my imagination or does Bacon cause Hallucinations ?

Dolph

Depends on how much you eat...








 [bacon]

never had such ... stop blaming  [bacon] for your hallucinations ...

I dont think Stu's would fit.

On our trip to 'Burqué to pick up our Motorcycles, Stu passed the Elf costume on to Sac Duc.  I still have my Rudolph costume, and Joel has the Santa thing down, so find some Elf garb and join the party!  ;)




[bacon]

you two up for next Sunday?

Rudolph is READY!

Carl said he's gonna try like H-E- Double Hockey Sticks to get his bike ready on time.  He really only needs to put the rear wheel and a new chain on.  Probably the fairings too...  The only thing I see a problem with is he lost the key to the bike... HIS ONLY KEY TO THE BIKE!!!  [bang]

I think one of those horses he calls dogs ate it...   [laugh]

 ;D




 [bacon]

I am starting to worry about that too, I have seriously ripped our entire house apart. Though it is small there are many places it could be???  [bang]
I pulled the mattress and box spring off the bed frame...Carl remembers it being on his night stand on his books 3 days ago. We have moved every piece of furniture. I have washed every piece of laundry (usually where I find keys, cash, and nuts and bolts)...NOTHING, not a thing  :'( 
I am leaving for a business trip in the early AM but think that poop patrol may be important to this mystery  :o
Our boys haven't eaten anything other than my glasses or socks since they were really little puppies when I was packing for a business trip and decided to take a shower.....Well they could have been  [evil] because there Papa went away with their buddy Ryan two weekend in a row  ??? Well they are a little spoiled  [roll] Carl's going to try and get a new key...hope this isn't too hard.

I have two words for you, Carl....Excessive Bacon.  Or maybe it was supposed to be Quit Bacon.  Say it, Carl...."I can't quit you"...Sac and Bacon would have been a shoe-in for Brokeback Mountain 2:  Brokedown on Brokeback.

How about Toggle Switch.  Nobody would steal a Supersport, would they?  Where are you parking it, again?   [evil]

It's in Santa Barbara, CA uh, I mean Sacramento...  ;)

 ;D

I was thinking more of a big, red, round button that says, "GO" on it... 


 [bacon]

 >:( >:( >:(

Nobody would steal a post- '98 Supersport is what I think he meant!   [evil]

  :-*





 [bacon]

 >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
 :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Why so sad? Do you have a 2000 or newer Supersport?

;)

I did until it got stolen.

Beautiful bike!  Senna colors are  [drool]

When did it get stolen?!

 [thumbsdown]

July 2008. 

I still miss her.   I loved everything about that bike.

Sucks...   :'(





 [bacon]

It does.

Maybe someday I find another one.
