It's funny...

...all those scowling bad ass bikers that hang out at the dealership and pose in their black shirts and jeans(biker uniform)

Aren't riding in 23°F, let alone the 40°F in the afternoon.

This dork rides in a sweater vest and pleated slacks.

I'm wearing my work clothes to the next swap meet.

Riding it like I stole it!

Picked up RMFH's new wheels last Saturday & been ridin' it like I stole it. Literally. It currently has my VStar plate on it, still registered in a MI guys name, but carries insurance in RMFH's name from TN & I have no paperwork to prove my involvement in any transactions of a purchase. I'll be careful riding home at midnight.

Runs nice w/ the Stage 2 kit. Backrest is a discomfort. Rides nice despite old tires. Fresh rubber will liven it up a bit more.

The grips are the BOMB! Some tassels would really make 'em pop. Fringe hanging from the leather wrapped windscreen will complete the look.

The mayor's brother, Evel KENievel is the man!

Look at all this michigan brewery swag!

Thanks Ken! Holy shit! I opened a package and it just kept pouring out. No pun intended.

This is real.

This has to be one of the single worst custom paint jobs I've ever seen in my life. And, I'm sure this guy paid a lot of money for it, or girl. I can't decide if a man or woman owns it now. I'm not even totally sure what the theme is supposed to be or what it means... Judging by the PT Cruiser & the 80's Porsche, could be a homo or a washed up porn star.

 "I'm flaming hot, but sometimes I'm so cold it burns & I also win races for breast cancer awareness" Is the title of this piece of art work.

I'm mean, it is for sale if someone here would like to purchase.

They spent a lot of money on a lot of good parts to build this bike.

Maybe they'll knock 5k off the asking price since it needs to be striped & repainted.

Your thoughts?

BFF sissy is back...

...in black.

Paint's already chipping. Hopefully after a road trip or 2 it will look as good a the rest I the bike!

Probably should have been filling the pod instead of putting this back on.

Oh well.

A real Travel Pack

A lot of posts have been going around about how guys roll on the long 2 wheel journeys. I'm all like "Pffffffff!"

 This is how I roll.

Backpacker's...erm...backpack. Tons of pockets, what do I put in it? My sleeping bag.
Little green backpack? my clothes and toiletries.
By clothes I mean the holiest undies and sock I have. The ones I need to get rid of. wear'em and ditch'em. Couple of shirts, a spare pair of jeans. Spare because I've been known to shit myself. Not like, "Oops I shouldn't have trusted that fart", but more, "OMG!!! I made it to the toilet in plenty of time why is the toilet and stall covered in feces?!"
It happens.

A lot.

Anyways, that blue thing between them is the tent my wife picked up for me at wally world so I wouldn't have to walk all the way to the shed to air out the perfectly fine one I have.

Oh you want to know about my tools? I'll let you in on that too.
I have whatever tools Honda deem necessary to gimme, a pen, flashlight, and an extension cord. At least I think I still have the tools Honda put in there. The tools be under the seat somewhere, the pen is in the tankbag with the flashlight. The extension cord is in one of the saddlebags.

The other bag is empty.

Tomorrow I head to KY to meet the Mayor, and then we go to the tail of the dragon and beyond.

I'll update as we progress.

Wtf, sent to me by my loving wife

This was sent to me via text from Melissa.

M: what is that?
RmfH: a dork. Or were you asking about the golf bag carrier?

Tired gas coffee

Butthurt too!

Mentally clear, but physically fatigued. It was late, we had been at it since 7am. Do we push on the whole way or find a hotel? We chose staying in Birmingham. Barber Motorsports park and museum was going to be a great thing to visit, so why not? I'll tell you why not. It didn't open until 12pm.

Gnat central.

Gassed up in Utica. Didn't take out phone. Fill in details later

If by details you mean the locals starting a drunken fight with each other until "superfly, the tow driver guy" verbally broke it up with his threat and posture, then yeah.

 Yeah, that's what I meant. I only heard it from the clerk calling the "poh-leese", I can't believe how fucked up every town we passed in Mississippi was. Boarded up buildings, everything shut down. Thank goodness for the GPS, I would have never found gas off of the Trace with out it. even if in every town it seemed to take us to 3 shut down/abandoned stations before we found an operational one.

At that Oreilly's in Chapel Hill, we stopped across the street at the funeral home when you guys were here last. It was running a vw beetle engine.


Has "R.F." on the scoop above the headlight.

Knuckle Tats

 I wish I had the wherewithal to rock a knuckle tat. Melissa and I found some tonight amongst the Googles. First tat to show up was the Michigan one. Coincidence? I think not. Obviously stolen from knuckletattoos.com

I think the Michigan one would go great with my hand-map tattoo.
