      some nice aircraft landing lights yah got there. Holy hell my bedroom window was on the side of the house directly inline with the local RCAF base glide path. The voodoo pilots would flip there lights on coming in two abreast one slightly aft and it was like sunshine. Lit up my star wars poster magnificently. Tax money well spent.

      noreg the dry rider was one piece and had a really long high not very comfortable neck thing.
      Hondaline was twopiece but only leaked from the neck.

        35' this morning on my ride in... Around 4:30AM. Work is killing me right now, I got done around 10PM, Back at it by 5AM. Bring the kids back to campus has been possible but boy it's borderline not sustainable for the employees. All 130 of my employees worked OT last week... I had 70 hours logged in 5 days. Going to be a tough 9 more weeks.

        Hoping to get out of work at a decent time today...

            That's a tough schedule, Jedz.
            As you well know, riding when physically and mentally worn out can be a dangerous venture.
            Please take care.

              This week is easier, I'll be at 55ish hours as long as I don't get called into work again over the weekend or the evenings.
              Rain and 30's F this AM... I took new (to me) car in.

              Only image I got, I left the trailer at home.
              If i was working less I would run the bike but, too tired to mess with the VMAX at 4AM, in the rain and 30' weather.
              Best,

                First day that I have been home and not cold and rainy in two weeks.
                So, go for ride.
                Stopped at this park on the river, just to see what was going on.

                No boats going in/out. Is often one of the first places that see fall color around here, but not yet, and that is okay with me.

                Noticed that the gate was open to the other part of the park that has been closed all summer due to high water over the road at the picknic area. The gate was open so I went over to that side of the park, went past piles of stone and some construction equipment. Stopped to look around at the construction going on. And along comes a front end loader. Driver glares at me as goes past.

                I head back out and notice the frontend loader stopped at the gate, and looks like the guy hurries out and to the gate. As I am approaching, he is starting to close the gate, and he can see me comming and keeps on closing the gate, I keep going, and he doesnt stop closing the gate untill I am almost there. I wondered if he was just trying to make a point, or if was purposely trying to close me in there. (I know there is no good way out, cuz on previous occasions I have tried to find a way in around that gate.)

                    What a jack-wagon Dave, at least he stopped closing the gate.
                    I would love to have the energy to ride. I got up[ again this AM and was too tired to get on the bike. Another Honda day.
                    Enjoy your weekends.

                          Just got home from a 420 mile weekend, which took me to Payson, Flagstaff, Prescott, and Cave Creek before home again.

                              I never let the weather stop me, since we never know when our last opportunity will come. That said, the highs were only around 104 in the Valley, and 72 in Flag.
