Now it is just dread-mostly

Recommended Posts

Pics from Saturday
1) Unbridled optimism as I was leaving SC
2) Kinda tired but in good spirits in MS
3) Nearly 15 hours. My butt is officially kicked

Return trip tomorrow-Don't know that I'll be able to do it in one day[:/]

Bah, I spend 40hrs a week in the saddle. You can spend one more day...

:P

Ok, seriously, if you don't have a Corbin saddle, then you're so very wrong. Buy one, your butt will thank you!

Dave-took my Corbin off to go with the king/queen and sissy bar for my wife
Spence-I think i was somewhere near Woolmarket, MS Saturday when i decided that I don't really hate windshields as much as i though I did:S:D I may see if i can find a quick release that will work with my turn signals when i get home

I started riding with a windshield in 88. I decided it was a pretty good idea when I was stung 8 times in a week. One was a yellow jacket that hit and stung me in the neck and then fell down my inside my shirt and continued to sting me around the old belly button till I was finally able to beat him to death as well as my self. The last one being in the upper lip at 75. The one before that was one that got in my hair and managed to get me at the base of my skull. That rung my bell. It was a bad summer for bees.

We have a bike blessing in town today and would like to take my new scoot but unfortunatley we got 6 to 8 inches of snow last night. I've never been a fair weather rider but the older I get the more cautious I get.

Futuredivot: 15 hrs is a long time in the saddle. Fatigue causes reaction time to slow considerably. Be safe guy.


I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

a. I love my windshield
b. sometimes a piece of sheepskin (fur and all) can act as a nice pad on the saddle. I've used it and been happy; keeps my butt just a little cooler (some air gets in there) as well as a little supportive padding.

But I don't envy you. I'm a vacation biker -- I'd rather do it just for as long as it's fun.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

:S 15 hours!! :S

I remember the ride from London to the South of France on my little Ninja... I got impressively lost for the bit down to the ferry... Then I rode through pouring rain for about 8 hours straight... Luckily the sun was beaming for the last 3 hours... I still felt cold for about 24 hours after I got off the bike!! My leathers took like 3 days to dry, and my ass hurt for about a week!! B|B|

In hindsight, I should really have done the trip over 2 or even 3 days!! :|

Be safe - it can be dangerous to ride for such long periods...

For a minute there, I thought that was a term of endearment for her SO.:$

that was my 1st thought when i saw the pic, Hmm long haul ride and no sheepskin.
We do loads of long runs here in West OZ, (have to everything is so far apart). I would not do more than a 4-5 hour run without a sheepskin seat cover. they REALLY do make a world of difference :)
BTW you look like you've lost weight, dude?
You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?
