Drinking beer, talking bikes and eating cookies at Jaegerhaus.

Listening to Der Golgo blow his nose like a goddamn walrus in the bathroom.

Seriously, sounds like a wildebeest.

I'm growing more and more fond of the idea of my detached "guest house"...

Drying off. Rode the SV in the rain this afternoon, apparently it was not "rain proofed." Rode it the 18 mi home as a 325cc single.

EEEEEEW. Mine used to do that. Contributed to my trading her in.

Apparently it's possible to fix, but it's no fun when you're clipping along at highway speed and suddenly your engine is dragging a cylinder.

Right. Wouldn't be so bad if it were the cylinder that was easily accessible. Little dab of silicone in the plug boot and I'm all set. I think.

Sitting in a semi-crowded bar in the suburbs. DerGolgo, in thick German accent, just loudly annunciates to his phone "NEWS FOR EBOLA!!!"

One of the funnier moments from his tour of Oklahoma was when we went to a liquor store to get some beer. The man behind the counter spoke a dialect of Urban (Black) Okie.

"Did you find everything okay? Can I get you anything else?"
"I'm sorry, I can't understand a word you're saying."

So I got to play interpreter.

You're forgetting the funniest bit. From what I recall of that encounter, I was not the only one flummoxed by strange talk. When I told the man I didn't understand, he didn't understand me, either.

I didn't forget, I just didn't tell the story very well.

Sorry, it's the perils of posting from my phone...

So yeah, neither party could understand the other, due to their respective accents. I could understand both, and they could both grok my stentorian oration. When needed, I can speak uninflected NPR English.

I've never heard Robert Siegel say "fuck" quite as much as you do, though.

I lost it at "uninflected NPR English."

At this very moment I'm celebrating my temporary freedom for the first time in two years.

See y'all at DOOM. (Though I fear it's going to be a bit soggy.

Grounded and fuming over an ill-fitting new rear tire which was special ordered.

Yeah, that won't fit. 4.10-18 Kenda in foreground, Heidenau 4.00-18 in back.

I'm feeling not myself. In a good way. Instead of the standard diet of miller Lite, Jack Daniels and Metallica, I'm having a glass of fantastic Merlot, listening to Lorde's lesser known tunes, mostly live (kid is a prodigy, don't ignore her just because she's popular right now), but still working on the sportie. 3rd shifter shaft seal in a month. Must be installation error...

Sitting on my porch, drinking redbull to washdown some Norco while waiting for some dude i have never talked to on the phone, named Rench, to call me...typing is not my friend right now

Lmao, sorry man. I sent that PM and went to bed. I'll hit you up this afternoon.

Having a glass of my own special variation of the Rusty Nail and watching Big Ass Spider!
Which is surprisingly entertaining and well done, doesn't even look all that cheap.

Thinking about getting out of bed. I've been here a couple days.

Geek, sometimes you have to take the good, take the bad, take 'em both and then you'll have the facts of life. Out of bed is where it all happens.

guitargeek · Post by **guitargeek** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 4:43 pm

Taking a break from replacing the floor under my toilet.

Rench · Post by **Rench** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 5:11 pm

We take it back, better to stay in bed if that's what you're putting off.

What, you think I take to bed because I'm afraid of the world outside? Really?

No, man, I have lupus. I spent too much time brush hogging on the tractor the other day, got too much sun, and missed a dose of some meds. Add that up and it equals bedtime for gg.

But I'll sure try to keep your wise wisdom in mind...

Sorry Geek, don't follow you on Facebook so I don't know about your medical condition.

guitargeek · Post by **guitargeek** » Mon Oct 27, 2014 3:42 am

Better today, actually, though I still have to finish this fucking floor...

I've been dicking around trying to get what are supposedly the lightest, grippy-est, most fragrant, best tasting, longest lasting wonder tire in the history of tires... since the end of September. I was hoping to have a set before going to DOOM on wear bars, but that didn't happen.

So the rear tire eventually flew overhead on it's way from Germany to California, and then back over to this side of the country, only to be way off in size. That one (pictured a few posts up) didn't even fit in the swing arm. Front was back-ordered. Much to the annoyance of the moto supplier, I convinced them to take back the special order tire, cancel the front, and order a better sized set.

That order was supposed to be placed today, but I got a call saying the new front is unavailable in the US.

Today I said fuggit and ordered a set of Shinkos that could have had on the bike already.

The end of the riding season is rapidly approaching, and I'm missing out on riding.

This is why you keep a spare around. Spare bike I mean.
