Reboot Day Two

This sucks.  My mind is on work, not making Juice.  Lucy is not 100% , so she's not in there making it. Hungry ...   lil bit of a headache...   few more days of this until I find my groove. How the hell did I let my weight creep back up to 300 or so? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

REBOOT! Juice time....

Damned I've been slacking.... Riding the 'cycle ...    Traveling...  injuries ( my excuse for not being in the gym )  ...  blah blah blah.. Well.. here we go (again).  Day 1 of juicing.. how far will I make it?  Hopefully 10 days...  made it 7 days last time and felt like a million bucks.. Weighting approx 300lbs as I type this.  Buzzed my hair off almost 2 years ago as punishment! ( something like that )  .   Still haven't gotten back into my 38 waist pants.  I'm assuming that bodyweight will be under 280 to get me into them. Will this be the beginning of finally getting back into them?  I hope so...........

Group Ride .. Pet Peeves

Large Group Rides... to Ride or not to Ride... that is the question Over the years, I’ve become somewhat opinionated on this subject.   When I ride with my buddies, there are usually less than 10 bikes... so it’s manageable.    But several times a year, I find myself on some of the big rides.   You know the ones.   The Toy Rides in December.   Charity rides for children, some for fighting diseases, some to help others in need.    Many of us look at these as opportunities to help, others to ride with fellow riders, others as simply an excuse to get out and ride.   But, big rides (ex. 50+ bikes) expose the problems and dangers of riding with fellow bikers. Here are some of my thoughts. A few of my pet peeves. First, the Good!   .   I’ve been on several rides that had Police Escorts.   Police Block the  major intersections and other potential trouble spots along the way.   Thank you!    They went ...

Why a Slingshot?

First things First... This is called a Motorcycle.  It's Not. Or, maybe it is.  It's technically a Trike , which  qualifies it as a Motorcycle in the US . Calling it a Trike stills drives a few nutz. Calling it a Motorcycle pushes the hardcore biker off the deep end! Ok, lets be honest.  It's a 3 wheeled car, that doesn't have to meet all the BS safety regulations due to it being, legally, a Trike.  So, it's legally a Motorcycle.  Still with me? It's got 2 wheels up front, 1 in back.  Remember when the CanAm Spyder came out and we were all scratching our heads?   Same concept except the passengers sit side by side. So, you can use the HOV lanes in heavy traffic; by ourself.  You can attend motorcycle rallys ( that'll piss a few off ) .  You can ride with or without a helmet ( well, depends on your motorcycle helmet laws).  Mostly, you get to be different and have some crazy fun! So, we can agree that legally.. techni...

Why do I Ride?

Just read a heart wrenching summary of a Riders' recovery after a near fatal accident about 2 years ago....   Additionally, this morning, I learned of some friends losing their son last night in a bike accident ( still shook up about that one ) ...    Some folks question 'why we ride' ...  Is it safe? .. is it smart? .. is it...., you get the point. We ride because its who we are.  Some of ride with helmets.. some without.  Some in full riding gear, some not so much .  It's who we are....it's our choice .. If I was going to worry about the 'dangers' of Riding a bike all the time.... I'd be giving in to our primal fears.   I'd sell the bike(s) .  I'd sell the sports car.  .. I'd just drive around in my F350 Dually .. maybe with some extra metal on the Front Bumper to protect my paint when running over the imports and other inadequate vehicles on the roadways... but ...   I don't worry. Life is Short... enjoy...
