What did you do today?

[Speed 3 Pilot]

Met a guy today who lives 2-3 blocks from me that has purchased a used SF from a dealer in Oregon, which is due to arrive later this month...he sez seeing yours truly riding around inspired him to get the bike...

Discovered that west virginia has amazingly beautiful roads in wonderfully twistie mountains. would have been crazy fun on the 848  ...but with a 35 foot RV, not so much.

And on a side note,  I learned how to read and navigate with a real paper road map (yeah I couldnt believe they're still being printed either).  apparently west virginia is not compatable with the gps on my smart phone...

No problemo.  Bring a small can/bottle of DOT4 brake fluid. That's all. I should be here by 11am.

You rock, thanks a lot...

Cheers,
Your humble apprentice

That completely cracks me up.

With a paper map and some skill on your part you know where you are. With a GPS anyone with the proper tech knows where you are at anytime. I find that a bit disturbing. Ask Ben the Hunter, aka Squirrel Killer.

I thought some would like this video (if you haven't seen it already).  She makes a great ambassador for Ducati....very articulate and passionate for the company brand.

West Virginia isn't compatable with a lot of modern things.....

Do I hear the theme song from Deliverance playing in the background?...

But it is with sister kissin'!!!

Nope.  That's North Cackalacky.  

Discovered that west virginia has amazingly beautiful roads in wonderfully twisty mountains.

Yes, it really does.  Too bad it's such a pain to get there.

[MadDuck]

Cool...but I'm not diggin' her knee protection...

But if she fell down she wouldn't ruin a good pair of jeans.  Just sayin'........ 

[MadDuck]

It's easier for you to get there than it is for us.

Those are clearly skin-colored knee pucks.  All the rage in Miami.

My day started at 0400 (bleh) ... I always love early morning meeting w/ the boys in Wash DC!  Successfully completed 2x language exams ... then picked up a bottle of DOT4 for Saturday.  So, which beer should I get for MADDUCK?    

[MadDuck]

Monday through Friday always starts at 0400 for me so I can totally empathize with you.    Gloria say I should start charging $$ for what I do. Meh, she has a narrow view. Me, I'm running short on Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale and Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. The Bigfoot might only be found at the Liquor Collection in Ward Warehouse at this time. I warn you that it is pricey so the Torpedo is OK and a little easier to find (but not much easier).    This is assuming that the weather (ahem) cooperates.

Helped my son replace the transmission mounts and radiator in his car today...we also bled the brakes and sync'd the TBs...all in all, a good father & son day...
