Default Riding home from work today ...

Denver ... 73 degrees ... bright sunshine

got to my house ... just couldn't stop and get off the bike!

40 more miles of cruising trying to decide which pipes to order from Dr. V-twin

V&H ... big shot longs or true dual fishtails

ever get to where you're going ... blow it off and just keep riding??

I was headed to Sturgis this year and before I knew it, I was in Canada. But two days later I found Sturgis.

Sometimes when I'm riding to someplace, I just go somewhere else.

True duals all the way...When I ride to work I feel like bypassing it a heading for the mountains.

Can't figure it out. When I need to go somewhere it's always two miles to get there and 30 miles to get back home. Go figure.

I usually end up taking the long way home, even when it's raining. Those rides will get even longer when you put a set of Samson true duals on. Puts a big grin on your face too
