I rode a couple times yesterday up and down the road... out in miworth.. tweaking.

Then today... I rode the bike home!!! whooohooo... its running and works awesome! cant wait to ride with everyone.

Thanks to everyone who had a hand in getting her back on the road. Big Big Big thanks to parker, twila, saxon and mica for storing/housing/fixing my old girl... oh the smile that was on my face today riding it home.

Parker needs an award.. a big one.. i think of something for him soon.

You're are not the only one who is seeing people riding. I had an officer notice I was riding as well today.

While riding back from work today on my cafe I had a police car pull in behind me and follow me a from near the CN center, up 15th and all the way down tabor to 5th. The light at 5th and tabor was red so the cop pulled up beside me to turn. He stopped and looked at me then drove into the intersection a bit then put the car in reverse and backed up so we were side by side again. Rolled down his window and got my attention.

officer"those look like straight pipes to me"
my internal voice was telling me to congratulate him on his great eye sight and keen understanding of a straight line but my better side got a hold me
I yelled through my helmet and over the earth shaking, ear drum rupturing, clearly deafening purr/hum of my 400CC parallel twin  tamed and occasionally missing engine.
Lucky for me my header painted didn't cure where I put in baffles so I had the rust to prove that my bike did have baffling.
He drove of and told me to ride safe.

that's where we are entirely different... cause I would have said that... and a few other choice words. If he seriously had nothing better to do than to do something stupid like that... i would have had a hay day with him.

   Being a bit of a smart-ass I probably would have said something like "actually I think their bi-sexual" CHEERS.

Now that is a line I wish I had come up with.   However, after being a bit of a smart ass with a US border official, I am all "yes sir, no sir" now.

Rode from kitimat to terrace last weekend to have dinner with peg and john. Nice to be out of camp for a day and of course great to be on two wheels.:-)
