Riding, riding, riding

Ahhhh, I got the bike back from the shop yesterday. Nothing big being done, State Inspection, adjust the clutch and new brake pads on the back. I was good to ride again, even as cold as it was. I had the mechanic, who is a first rate guy, install the wires for the GPS system. Now I will be able to use that on the go as well. I have become very addicted to the GPS unit. Living here in a new location I am still learning my way around. Today I needed to be at a school out of my district and I was able to find it with no hassle.

Looking forward to two big trips this year so far. One is a trip down to the Barber Motorsports Museum, which is in Birmingham, Alabama. This is a trip that I have been planning on my own. I am hoping that a couple other people will make the trip with me down there during spring break. A few days, a couple of thousand miles and taking in hundreds of pristine classic motorcycles.

The other big trip is going to be the BMWMOA rally in Burlington Vermont. I love New England and the roads up there. I have traveled up there a few times on bikes and each time I love it more and more. You can’t beat the winding roads and beautiful scenery. Plus the smell of a pine forest always gets me too. The are some Pine forests up there, hopefully I will get to camp in one.

The job has been getting better and better recently and the house is going up quickly. I am hoping to stop by today on the way home and see what has gotten done over the last couple of days.

Saturday 1/28/06 I went for a nice long ride on the bike. As I was cruising around I went through the town of Klienfeltersville. I thought it a funny name for a town considering what I know about Klienfelter's Syndrome. Anyway the weather was great and it was nice to ride in January in Jeans and long johns.
