Hey that bike looks familiar

OK, well I won't post any pics of today's 300-mile ride from Linville Falls NC to Mecca, AKA North Georgia. But lemme tell ya something: it was truly epic. Average speed? Maybe 50MPH. That's actually pretty fast for a POG like me in some of these twisties...

Think I'll stay up here a while

Dum dum diddly dum... Sunrise on the emerald coast. Just gotta love it! It's Friday too!

Well - got my new front fender and new tail rack for the DR. I need to get my lazy ass over to DMV and get the plate from my Burgman 650 x-ferred over, and the title x-ferred too. Also still need to straighten out the forks vs handle bars vs triple tree thing.

Bought a 10x20 storage building. I was going to get a 12x20 with a 12x20 carport on the side but that was too delux for my requirements. The 10x20 should be plenty big enough to store 3 motorcycles, riding lawn mower, generator, gas cans etc. It will be getting installed July 5. Once that's in, I am going to turn my garage/man cave into more of a party room. Dart board, flat screen TV, Hobby tables etc. Might even install a HO race car track or train set layout. Who knows? It will still be used for vehicle maintenance though, because it's air conditioned and heated - but now I wont have to trip over the conveyances that are in there now cause they'll be out in the storage room. I am pretty sure I will always have at least one of the bike in there and ready to go at all times tho.

Looks like a Brewton Beast ride is shaping up for Monday. Frank you're headed to Barbers this weekend - truth? Enjoy and take some pictures - especially of the old stuff like all us POGs dig! BTW - skip buying any more bikes for us. I think we've seen enough turn over for the time being!

ElusivePedro · 06-17-2011, 09:41 AM

You already heard my story WR - plus, SIGH, I have to WORK on Monday - GAH (one of these days, one of these days -- I'ma gonna just stick it to the man like so many POGs have)... I, for one though, know what work was like when it was fun. Nowadays - not so much. Oh well...

Sounds like a nice tour!
