Sandbox for Project X-1A… aka, Hawk’s Heaven!
Back feels much better today (barring waking up unmedicated) than it has since last week. I was starting to get worried about the trip back out, but looks okay. I do, however, have the trip to Duluth this upcoming week, which will neatly keep me out of the chiropractor’s office until Monday June 4th. Sure [...]
Well, back seemed to be doing a bit better so I thought I’d see if riding the K75 could help out a bit with limberness. So I ran down to Morton’s, grabbed a battery, and installed it this afternoon, then went for a ride to shake the cobwebs off. Sad discovery #1: My back’s not [...]
Well, all is good and I’m back home. Well, mostly good. I dumped the bike over again by Grampa’s memorial… …while trying to get a good shot of the bike and the memorial. Since it was on the hillside, the kickstand was too high, and as soon as I got off the bike, the bike [...]
A big HELLO from the road! And what cool places the road took me. Some nice gentleman was willing to take a shot with me AND my bike… At this very, very cool place… where they try and prove that one-in-a-billion odds is a pretty good chance for other life in the universe… Then after [...]
As I said, this leg has pictures. What I did not expect is that I would be so thoroughly wiped out afterwards to even consider dragging the camera out and downloading them. Let me start by saying “I’m safe and sound, in a nice hotel room, after having a nice medium-long soak in a hot [...]
Bike rolled over 20k miles around Abilene, TX. Running strong, rode through a brief shower before Big Spring. Other than that, made leg 2 intact… buns sore but rideable. I think I’m getting the hang of this…. More later… next leg has pictures….
Well, leg 1 ended up being longer than I had anticipated. I didn’t calculate from work. 838 miles. Counting the drive into work last night, trip clock is at 900.5 miles. Around 500 miles, my tusch and I declared a truce. It wouldn’t hurt any worse, as long as I acknowledged it hurt. Can;t wait [...]
The day has come, The time is here,To far-off shores I will draw near.Throughout this many splendoured land,I ride with twisted throttlehand. No longer do I have to wait,To ride around from state to state,The bike is packed and I’ll be foundOn road and highway westward bound. —– Or, the theme song for today’s departure [...]
You know, sometimes things just seem to work out perfectly. And sometimes, things really do. It’s 36 hours now until I leave…. well, in 36 hours, I’ll be having breakfast and leaving 30 minutes later. I spent this afternoon packing the bike. I had a lot of the pre-packing done yesterday… getting things out of [...]
