Pretty good thanksgiving for me: went to my aunt's house as usual and had some delicious turkey that my uncle smoked, lots of really good food with my cousin's excellent pecan pie for dessert. I managed to eat just slightly too much, so I wasn't totally miserable. I hung out in the back yard, smoked cigarettes and talked to my cousin about matters of great...

Hey, thanks for asking!
But firstly, great video.. i'm inspired, perhaps i should make one too! I was struck by the excellent visibility you have there.. there are some great roads around my house in West Sussex but it's heavily wooded around here.. so it's like riding through a tunnel of trees much of time... zero run-off..jeje!
I like the latest upgrade to your Zed! Seeing the pics of you cutting aluminum shims reminded me of a passage from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, jeje! But good to see you have some good weather still! Aqui, hace frio de cojones, jeje! .
I'll update my journal in the next few days! Am today in a hotel, working at my agency's head office.. will be home by Thursday night tho'...
Yay for polished aluminum!!

New Rule: The rest of the world can go back to being completely jealous of America.
Our majority-white country just freely elected a black president, something no other democracy has ever done. Take that, Canada! Where's your Nubian warrior president? Your head of state is a boring white dude named Stephen Harper... and mine is a kick ass black ninja named Barack Hussein Obama!
That's...

Thanks!
They're actually not very heavy at all. The main body of them is a very thing silver that is just folded over. The heaviest part is the actual hook.

Well.... that is an aspiration... but in all seriousness i'm not sure how quickly i could realistically enact it. A few months ago i was planning on taking a career break at work, renting out my house, and moving to Madrid... but of course that is all now out the window, so to speak.
Work has taken a more positive turn just lately, and not withstanding having to live in hotels for half the working week, it's pretty much ok. So i'm perhaps not so desperate to bail as i might have been. So... in answer to the question.. i'll certainly be stateside again soon... but i still don't know about a permanent move. But i'm not ruling anything out....
I do need to avoid these euro-chics tho'. They're nuts. Or at least the ones i meet are. It's North & Central & South American girls all the way from now on for me....

They do indeed love a Southern accent. Las chicas espaolas used to go nuts when i put on an Atlanta accent. For serious. Maybe we should swap. You come over here and handle all the crazy euro-babes and i'll come out your way and put the zed through it's paces. The more i think about that... the more i like it... jeje!
Rust Never Sleeps
A few years ago, I got a $21.50 GPz tank on eBay. It was in terrible shape, all rusty inside, tons of Bondo on the outside. I stripped it down to the bare metal so I could see what I had to work with, cleaned it out with muriatic acid, then neutralized the acid with water & baking soda, braze welded a...

Time will tell. at least congress is not filibuster proof All i know is when he said this "We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there." First of all he's got 4 guaranteed years and second of all, where the fuck are we going? That guy can read a fucking telephone book and the crowd goes nuts. Oh well., i'll just continue sticking to my conservative values and principles and take comfort in knowing that i'm not a fucking sheep. And how have you been?
jimmybackfire:
Whoa! Dude, when did I say you were a fucking sheep? That statement was not aimed at you. I was just saying that if nothing else, I can be happy with myself for sticking to my convictions and belief system,etc and not be swayed by flowery speeches and elocution. I wasn't overly thrilled when McCAIN got the GOP nomination. I didn't even vote for him in the primary. As for the white supremacists, I would just assume lock them away along with the likes of Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah "USKKKA" Wright and the black panther party..I Mean really. They're all the same to me.

Yes, the lastfm.
I gave it a look and will try to set up something.
I was bummed the Rideing I thought that I'd be able
to get in Wed & Thur didn't happen. Small plus I'll
get more than 30 hrs in for the week.
This evening as I was comeing over a ridge there's
a great Western view and the sunset was glorious.

The flat black bike and leathers totally make you look like you should be on your way to Thunderdome.

That was a fun little bike journey you took us on.

Boreing would be nice once in awhile.
Tom Waits' daughter used to live in my town, so I'd see old Tom all the time. He never takes his sunglasses off and is hilarious in avoidance of being recognized.
