Um, not me.  That would mean taking it out of my Entry Foyer, away from the specialty HID track lighting that makes it look so purdy, and rolling the artifact outside where it will most definitely get soiled by the elements.

No sir, not me.  My Ducatis are staying inside, thank you very much, where they can be worshipped properly.

The foyer? Isn't that just a little too close to the door for comfort? Aren't you afraid of incoming dust particles landing on said artifact when the door is opened? Or do you just use the backdoor of the house? I took mine out of that nasty garage years ago and brought them inside where they should be. Have you seen how actually dirty the roads are around here? Disgusting. Not getting that crap on my ArmorAlled Michelins... no sireee! [laugh]

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.

i made pancakes last night, and put sriracha all over them.  some syrup, too...and then i remembered i had these soft granola bars...so i mixed up one of those in there, too.  all around, pretty good.  i'm glad to have inherited my dad's eating habits, in that respect.   [thumbsup]  the day that i found out that cheezits were good in cereal...it was like an epiphany!

Rich,

You going on this two wheeled Arkansas madness again? You deserve to finish it out after getting ripped off last time. April's run was my re-do. Now that's out of the way I can just sit back and enjoy the Sept. run. Had to get those roads mentally exorcised to make a clean slate of it. [thumbsup] Hope you can make it!

Anyone else?? Donald? Someone?? Really blows me away that more folks don't get in on this. The roads are great, very little traffic, even the ride up and back is good. A little slab but much less than the run to the Hill Country Ridefest. Anyone who isn't doing the HC run really should consider joining us. Ride Master Swanny always puts together some great roads and the Russellville Holiday Inn is a good home base... I'm sure it has nothing to do with it having the only bar in town! [beer] [laugh] Still plenty of time... come on, you know you want to go! [thumbsup] [moto]

We meet up on Saturday morning (8:00ish??) at the outlet mall in Allen (north of Plano) which is right off Hwy75/Central. Ride up that day and end up in Russellville, AR late afternoon. Hang out, hit the bar for a beer, have dinner, bs, sleep and hit the road Sunday after breakfast for a Tour of Northern Arkansas Swanny style. Check with him about the route, I think he mentioned it earlier in the thread but I'm too lazy to look. Gotta be a 350-400 mile ride. Hit the Holiday Inn after the ride, repeat the previous evening's entertainment and head home after breakfast on Monday, same way home as Saturday on the way up... except without the enraged Park Rangers on the Scenic Drive in OK and AR! By the way the Scenic Drive is freaking awesome! My personal raceway for over 25 years! It's technically a "park road" for 52 miles with no intersecting roads, only scenic turnouts. The trick is Park Rangers/State Police patrol the road only on Friday through Sunday. Their prime time ticket opportunity. They don't even bother patrolling Monday through Thursday evening. Was told that by a Leflore Co. Sheriff's Officer. Good enough for me. Doesn't make up for the bullshit $251 ticket we got in April. Wankers!! >:( Tommy, I'm sure you are familiar with this bs being from the Deal's Gap area. No where near the oppressive police presence as that but apparently it's getting there. After a quarter century of riding up there that was my first taste of major cop voodoo. Anyway, it's worth it. Easy on Saturday on the way up but you could bust balls on Monday if you want to. We had a very nice motivated cruise coming back on Monday this last April. Nothing crazy, just a real nice, easy high speed cruise on the Scenic Drive. Really sweet. Think about it. Check with Swanny on the route stuff but I guarantee it will be awesome! [thumbsup]

OK, no paragraphs and mucho run on sentences! Am I on form or what???!!! [clap]
