Some complaining fools in the M8 forum. They have no idea how good they have it. Spent a few hours putting on some stuff I've had in my garage since the riding season started.
I'm either riding or working, no time for wrenching anymore, not only that but my bedtime in my 30's was around 2:00 am, now it's like 9:30.

My Lemmon is beautiful, small but has some great riding.



Of all the places I've been in AZ, Cave Creek is probably the most beautiful and it's a biker haven.
Cave Creek was awesome when I was in the area for my "unfortunate vacation of 2015". And I rode a bit through Tonto National Park area on...87..I think it was. Interesting countryside for a southern girl.

You could have ordered grits online and had them sent to AZ. Or would this be a good time to say "SQUIRREL!" and change the subject?

Morning woods, Tina, my Mom and I tried a new restaurant for lunch yesterday. Bloody mary's were incredible, food was good except for Tina's sandwich only got grilled on one side. That got our drinks paid for.

Morning all, yesterday took off and went for a ride, wife and I headed over to wisc and followed one of the roads that bikers like to ride.

Well, let me rephrase that, where wanna be's like to ride.
The wife and I stopped for a couple that were stopped along side the rode, she had a Cam Am, He a 18 year old Gold Wing, turns out his GW had a dead battery and I'm suspecting his alternator was dead.

While we were there, I'd say maybe 35 or 40 bikes came by, most HD's and not a one even slowed down.
He had some of the covers off the bike and definitely looked like he was broke down.
I don't have anything good to say about this.

We did have two cars actually stop and ask if we needed anything.

We did finally get his battery out and he and his wife went off to get it charged so they could get home with the bike.

Other than that and my handle bar heaters going bad, it was a nice but cool day.

Alw..who has another winter project now.
