Summer can't get here fast enough

Taking the boat in for its yearly service. This likes to put dents in our wallets. We put 160 hours on our first boat in our first year of ownership. There's nothing like being out on the water, well except for the highway on two wheels or in the band van.

3 "

Since I broke one of my seat springs yesterday, I replaced the 2" springs with some 3"  springs. I am hoping this will stop the bottom of my seat from bottoming out with my fender. I guess if I lost a few pounds that could help too

MLK

I was fortunate to have MLK Jr. day off from work. I rode with a few guys from work up to Julian & Lake Cuyamaca. We met up at O'haras pub in Lake Elsinore.

It ended up just being a meeting point since the pub was closed. I would have loved to have a bloody before the journey! We went out through the backside of Elsinore and ended up in Fallbrook. Note to self- when riding with guys who have adventure bikes be prepared to ride on dirt roads. There were 3 BMW GS 1200's, a Triumph scrambler, a Harley Road King, and me on my chop. The pavement came to an end and there was about a mile stretch of dirt/sand road. Keep in mind i run an open primary belt drive and this type of road is my ENEMY. If enough dirt/sand or a rock got under my belt i would have been stranded with a broken belt. I figured i was only 20 miles from home so if anything happened i could get someone to come pick me up or call AAA, so i went for it. The guy on the Road king didn't seem to happy about it either.
As we head down the road there were more obstacles. We had to cross 3 small creeks. I made it across the creeks but while doing so i broke one of the springs under my seat. These springs are the only suspension i have on my bike. So i rode the rest of the way with a fucked up seat. It really took a toll on my back cause i am used to having the springs.

We made it back onto paved roads and were on our way to Lake Cuyamaca for some Schnitzel! We couldn't have asked for a better day. The weather was amazing

Next stop was the Julian Pie Co. Make sure you go here if your ever up in the Julian area in California


After stuffing our faces with great food it was time to go home. Overall a great day.

OMA

Life


I had a weird experience last night. I saw one of my friends go out of consciousness for about 15-20 seconds. Eyes wide open but not responding to anything. He was super sweaty, hands were clammy. He is a super healthy drug free guy. He snapped out of it and went to the hospital. He is fine now. It just really fucked with my head to experience that.

Enjoy your friends and family as much as you can. Life is short, any of us can checkout at anytime without warning.
