The fatigue was coupled with dizzyness and light headness, not a good combination for riding a bike. Besides a 5ft 108lb girl friend of mine got in my face and told me, Mr Bill no riding until you are better you hear me! That's my Eva, she rides a FZ 09 and very well too. Actually they are thinking it is some of the side effects of my meds mabye causing the problems.

              Hey! I recognize that rider!

              You don't look like you've lost weight bro. I never got to meet your girl...what a great couple!

              Hopefully, your condition improves and you are able to ride as you always do.

                  LOL guys, she is just a very good friend of mine, though I wish she was my GF big time, she is married., she has been riding for about 8 years. This is her first bike with that kind of power, she is a bit timid with the bike, though I've been showing her how hard she can push it. She hits 100mph she tends to back off real quick. After that little jaunt with the state police, she was pretty rattled the rest of the of the weekend lol. And yeah Ed, I lost 30 lbs, I was at 213 and now at 182. Lost it too fast as well.

                    All day long the wind vane pointed south and that lovely wind gave us a reprieve from the coldish weather from earlier in the week. I hoped to get in a decent ride and take advantage of it. By the time family dinner with the in laws was finished and the kids were in bed it was approaching midnight. It was cloudy, humid, and still warm - a beautiful fall night. I got in a short ride - took the long way to and from the gas station and filled the bike. Too short a ride, but long enough to breathe a big relaxing sigh and smile inside my helmet.

                      One of my favorite rides is 12 miles to any store for anything that will fit on the bike. Bummer, yesterday I needed a gallon of paint, but just can't figure how to tie that down well enough to risk it.

                        This is an old camera bag that I cut slots in the bottom to slip the straps thru. It easily fits (and has) a gallon paint can.

                          Nice, been thinking of making myself one of those!
                          Couple years ago I tried riding home with a quart of paint. Got home and it wasn't there anymore. Bummer, I thought I tied it down real good, never felt it fall off.

                            rphillips invited me to join him and some friends on a ride yesterday. There were three couples riding 2-up which was nice. Always good to have some ladies along. The goal was some pizza place up in the mountains near Chattanooga. Its a nice sedate ride through the rural countryside with good folks. Really enjoyed the company. rphillips knows some good people.

                            The pizza place had a nice location with lovely views. But in spite of all the pizza's ingredients having been imported from exotics locations around the world, it was only ok. Seems having lived in Chicago for 15 years has made me a pizza snob.

                            This ride actually had a couple of GS bikes. A pair of GSX1100s.



                            The ride leader was on the Goldwing. He'd mapped out the ride and was following a GPX track but he needs a little more practice with it as we ended up making a lot of u-turns The ZREX looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor.


                            One of his buddies was on this very pretty BMW


                            And this Honda won the award for prettiest paint. Picture doesn't really capture it, but there is a tiny metallic flake in the paint that really sparkles in the sun.


                            The view from the pizza place. The farthest bridge is I-24. At some point there must have been a wreck because traffic toward Chattanooga stopped for about an hour. Glad I wasn't sitting in it!


                            We rode about 250 miles for the day. I continue to be amazed at the roads and scenery around here. Big thank you to rphilips for inviting me and introducing me to his wife and friends.
