Last night was a full moon. Left the bar around midnight and rode for several hrs just enjoyin life. I love the cool night air and serious lack of traffic. It's like the whole world is mine for the ride of my life. Get home before dawn and sleep till whenever. Retirement is great!

I hate it when I'm in the middle of the South Dakota at some nasty run down gas station and I need to get air in rear tire of my Electra Glide.
And, it's 100+ degrees out and so humid that I'll have to take my Fruit-of-the-Looms off with an ice-scraper come bedtime And, I'm crawling on what seems like 1000 degree cracked ant infested asphalt, with little bits embedding themselves into my palms, trying to get a cracked air hose with a chuck from 1926 onto my rear valve stem. Of course, any involuntary movement causes burns to my forearm and back of hand, and then after what seems like an eternity, I finally feel the chuck going onto the stem just as the station owner's unsocialized German Shepard sticks it's nose in my ***.
It is during these special moments that I find myself thinking unclean thoughts about the H-D engineers that approved the current wheel-valve location design. And, I hate unclean thoughts!
Thank you, I feel much better now.

We have a serious Goose...Geese problem around here. Have had a squad of these bastards unload on me and the guys as we road. Uncanny that they have such good aim. Green slim dripping all over us. To top it off they are protected, fed and cared for by our town.
