I have been spending too much time riding my new motorcycle and now enough time on the bicycle.

And SK hasn't been riding at all. Whatever. She hasn't been posting much either, but maybe this thread will coax her out of her reclusive little shell.

So 11/4 is the end of days? I mean the end of daylight savings? Crazy how freaking dark it is in the morning. Just between Death Ride (7/10 or so) and Knoxville (9/29 or so), the difference in how light it was at 7 am (whether you needed lights or not) was staggering.

While we're on November, 11/5 is my anniversary (13 years I think - MATH!). I know SK has one soon or happened already.

Packing boxes and driving UHauls is soooo much more fun.

Hey CC I think when I got sick last year I may have posted more. Somehow, you just have more time on your hands and need distraction. How you feeling, by the way? New vroom vroom is great. Having a lot of fun. I may ride to work tomorrow. We'll see - baby steps. Trying to really take it one bit at a time.

mp-please tell me you've done a few motorbike safety courses..
do you see alot of idiots on motorbikes without helmets?

i'm getting there slowly. i'm sure physio will be more painful than how i feel atm. figuring out how to do stuff with one hand is actually very interesting.
just waiting for the swelling in my right knee to go down. that and i'm dying to go out of my house plus some warm weather.

CC - no worries! I took the 2 1/2 day MSF course and that's why I ended up with the motorcycle and the scooter ended up with my father in law...

No one rides here w/out helmets. It's the law.

Get better!

I was glad to see Bubba on Saturday night as I was worried that you might have packed him into a box in all the moving frenzy.

Well, I'm waiting for my knee to get better. You wanna hear about my flat 18 mile ride yesterday? In whence I was scared off the road by a maniacal farmer delivering hay to his cows?

I'm having a glass of wine as I write this, does that make me chief winer?

Oh and what a coinkidink, it's a lovely chardonnay from South Australia. Very tasty indeed.

I'm just waiting to get motivated again.

A "glass"??

Amateur!

I am here to announce that MRI's are not for sissies. I can see how someone who is claustrophobic would freak - such a tiny tube they stick you in! The technician gave me ear plugs and a blanket, I almost fell asleep. It took about 15 minutes, my coffee didn't even have time to get cold.

[maillotpois]

Oh yeah - even my CT scan (which is just a donut like thing) and the weird nuclear test I had where I was partially in a tube were bad enough. I can imagine a MRI would be awful!! (I am a bit claustro.)

Mimi - Devil Mtn Double is fun!! (Sort of.) It's one of those rides where you have a constant dialogue going with yourself about why you're doing it and bargaining with yourself about just going "X" miles further and then taking a break. At least I did.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that the Northern California Sadie Kate loss is the PNW gain. Thank you for donating to our cool women quota.

When are the rest of you going to move up here, anyway?

Dude, you've always been the chief winer, even if you didn't hold the actual title. But, it's yours if you're up to it.
