    After an extremely frustrating day of yard work I needed to get out last night....Hit the highway for a bit, riding toward a low hanging waxing crescent moon. I rode for a while until the chill soaked in then headed home.
    Couldnt be bothered with pictures or the riding game. A shot of cycle therapy was the intent.
    The bike is running great, and was a joy to ride.

    Got home and indulged in another of lifes joys...A hot shower after a ride induced chill.

      Suzi can haul!



      So we had to pick up a rx at Walmart and I needed some charcoal. 7.94 for 2 15 lb. bags! They fit rather nicely on the luggage rack. So I guess Suzi not only hauls azz but also hauls stuff.

        After riding back and forth from the garage and then to the girls' recitals (Charmayne playing her flute and Cheyenne on the piano):





        I chose to take the long way home on my own - 65 miles. I didn't quite plan on where I was going as the turn I took was new to me but I ended up in Germantown where the covered bridge was decked out for Memorial Day.




        On the way home, I drove by the other bridge I normally ride by then took one of my fun rides in reverse. One section of the ride is already very twisty but taking it in reverse with a car going very slow in front of me made the ride a bit more cautious.

        Charmayne asked to ride to the Memorial Day wreath laying ceremony and parade tomorrow she is participating in as part of her marching band. We'll probably then go for another ride afterwards someplace.

            BK hands down. We did a couple stints I brought it through 3rd and pretty deep into 4th and he couldn't keep up. Since the reflash the BK is on a full deristricted Hayabusa tune with some minimal mods... Speedo was reading north of 155mph on a stint and the RC couldn't keep up.. Scary is she still had more and I shut it down for the bike is no way setup for high speed.

            He had me on the twisties for sure , The BK is a bit top heavy with the case but once a straight away opened up I caught right back up to him with ease.

                Got a break in the weather yesterday so we took out the ZRX.

                More rain and and flash flooding predicted for today as well as tornado watch. We need the rain to fill up our lakes but I sure am tired of it.

                  Oooo I also got out on a ZRX yesterday. I was gone about 6 hours, running around northern KY.

                      As the Memorial Day weekend wound down, and after the bennies vacated the shore, and things were quiet at home, i went for a ride. A nice warm south blew as I geared up promising a warm ride, so I ditched the jacket liner. I rolled out under moonlight and ended up at Point Pleasant.

                      Grabbed a quick pic. I like the name of the boat.

                        There's been a rash of near misses on the roads in the hills above Perth, Western Australia with the local roo population. Big bucks have been herding the females closer to the roads where autumn rains have given them fresh grass to eat.
                        One of the riders in the local club came across a property owner who claimed the roos were even raiding the feed troughs of his horse stud, and helping themselves to fresh vegatables and treats meant for his stock.
                        These big roo's get very agressive in mating season (who doesn't) and aren't shy about standing up to humans and flexing they're muscles.
                        One of the club members showed us a photo of a roo, after it was seen raiding the buckeets left out for the horses, the guy says he's had to change the feeding time to midday when the roo's are generally sleeping, to avoid this happening again.

                            Looks like this d-bag I knew in high school. Stupid looking expression and lots of muscles.

                                And what a fun bike they are!

                                On a side note. We got some really bad flooding over the weekend. Many major cities in TX are declared a disaster area! Parts of downtown Austin were under water. Luckily we live on high ground.
