Tips for Riding....

Great Reminders!!!

1. Slow down a little. That S curve is sharper that you think!

2. Just because your bike can go 100 mph between two stoplights doesn't mean you should do it.

3. Maintenance is that un-fun thing you do to keep from walking home!

4. When in doubt, always take a jacket. When not in doubt, still take the jacket.

5. It always seems farther back home than it was to your destination. Don't ride so far that it stops being fun!

6. Ride safe! No one wants to attend your funeral and talk about how much you loved bikes. They want to go riding with you and talk about what a great time you had.

7. Stop for gas even if you don't need it. You may wish you had later.

8. Chrome wont get you laid, unless you're already good looking.

9. WAVE!!!! Even if the rider is on a scooter or a different brand. They just might be saving for their "Dream" motorcycle.

10. Don't ride beyond your skill level trying to keep up with the rider in front of you.

11. Keep your passenger feeling safe. They're riding with you because they trust you. Don't scare them & ruin motorcycling for them.

12. Buy quality rain gear. Being wet when it's warm is tolerable. Being wet when it's cold is miserable.

13. Riding 500 miles a day on the interstate is do-able. Riding 500 miles a day in the mountains is impossible. Allow yourself time to "see the sights".

14. The larger the group, the longer it takes to get there.

15. The "ride" is about the Journey, not the destination.

16. Remember to have fun.

Life, and riding, is not a contest. You can't win them all.

🤷‍♂️if you know... you know🤣

 Now THAT .. is funny!  Well, sort of ...  On a positive note, that ship is about to go back 'upright'

Finally!

 Guess you could say it was the first ride of the year?  Beautiful day in the 80s, used Crawfish as an excuse, but ... hit the road and smiled the whole way there and back.  

Spreading the Love ........

 Since '11, been riding with the IIRA.  Few years later, signed up with  the IMRG (Life Member). AMA member but they are sort of low key in the big picture.   Since then, I've bumped my Americana Legion membership up to Lifetime.  Haven't rode with them yet, but I'd like to.  Just a few weeks ago, bumped my VFW Lifetime to Legacy Gold level. Haven't rode with them yet, but I'd like to. Last year, joined the AmVets as a Lifetime member.   Haven't rode with them yet, but I'd like to.  This year (2023) I just want to RIDE!   My goal this year is to keep the head down, stay away from the Drama (and there is LOTS of it going on as I type this).  Put some miles on.  Meet some new folks out there at events. I'm ready ..... temp yesterday was in the 80s; today not so much ...brrrr.

This year I want to do the opposite of what I've done the last five years.....   "Defocus" on certain things, and get involved in more things ... other things..... on 2 wheels of course.

This year ....... it's about the RIDE.

And.. there you have it

Found myself in a situation recently that well.. I was fucking PISSED about.  But, got through the emotional stage and then to the reality stage. Had to remind myself of what I told others.  So, I'm good.  Back on Track.  Focused.  Just ...............waiting.

But now... watching Chaos ensue, by lil bitches that well.. don't heed my advice?  LMAO .
