Tonite- Wife wants me to go to some lame ass party with her. :'(
Tomorrow- Work then more work at home. Hope to have cab truck done this weekend.
Sunday- If nothing goes right see sat.

Lame ass party was more lame than the return to power dvd. I knew everyone there but everyone there had their kids with them.

I like kids, don't get me wrong, but I can only take so much running and screaming, esspecially since I don't have any kids. I thought it was gonna be a party for adults.

I'm having a hard time breathing thinking about all that. Sounds like you've dug a hole, and are trying to dig faster than the water fills it up.

Went to Kansas City to visit my best friend that fell on some hard times this week. Left Friday after a guy came into town to buy my VFR

Peeled out around 3:00 and hit my buddies house at 7:00. I slabbed it hard this leg so I could get there and grill and have some beer. It was a great weekend, did some fishing, golfing and had some good BBQ at another friends.

This morning much to my head thumping telling me to stay in bed and nurse this hangover, I got up and had some biscuits and gravy and loaded up to make my trek home. Forecast was for rain all day, but I was lucky to only hit good showers until the last hour of my 6 hour trek across MO.

I didn't really see much until I got into NE Missouri around New Boston, MO. Some twisty stuff there. Roads are in horrible shape and lots of loose debris on it so I took it pretty easy. This pic is right at the start, it gets far more twisty a few miles up the road. This is county road J

Little did I know this nice pavement ended and turned to gravel. "How much can it really be" I say. This lasted for 5 miles and the last half was fresh gravel and was not fun on this pig.

Even the cows thought I was nuts.

After this, it was pretty normal backroads with nothing to really see. Rain off and on and the roads are littered with sand, dirt, mud. My bike is so dirty I don't know where to start with cleaning it SOME to make it look respectable.

So my trip home was a whopping 40 miles longer than slabbing, but took 6 hours as opposed to 4 and I am just fine with that. Good times. :rider:

My mom and dad have two harleys and I take them out on occasion. I hate cleaning all the chrome on those damn things after running into a shower.

I have no idea how some people that actually ride keep their junk so clean.....MattO how do you do it? I forsee a short powerwash at lunch and coem home to hand wash it and spend an hour or so detailing it. I am no stickler, but I just got the damn thing.

I have a Sportster and a Roadking and when they are real dirty I use simple green mixed 50:1 with water. I don't spray it on the paint, but I spray the piss out of the chrome and motor, let set a minute, and just spray off with the hose pipe (not pressure washer), and then just hand wash. If I wash just one bike real good it takes about an hour of scrubbing, and that is not counting drying it off and getting all the water spots off.

Yeah that area up around Elmer , Mo, or anything norht of 36 in that neck. You wish your car had a sunroof so you can look out and see the exit from the turn you're in. STEEP Banks and the curves almost bend back on themselves. Be fun on a bike.

I tell you what. There are some straight sections on county road C I think that are roller coaster hills. You have no idea what to expect once you crest these hills and if you are going 80+ it feels like you are going to take off into space. laughing1

I'll try the simple green trick tonight if I have time and the weather holds. rain all week it sounds.

oh yeah that too, your stomach stays up in the air, and you pray there isn't some farmer going 15mph on the downhill side.

ahhh yeah! or a combine coming the other way. Surprisingly there were several combines out in fields getting the leftover corn. I have never seen that in Iowa, unless something prevented them from getting out last season to get it out?
