Mad Mikes Burger & Fries (not my dad)

I think this is where we should meet next weekend. Not only do the locals rave about it, but it's on Dixie Hwy, which by touching, connects you back to Michigan.

Plus look at this grease nasty!! I can't wait to eat one.

The beginning of the end.

This was the start of the never ending valve check. 6 of the 8 ex valves were on the low side .008" 2 were below spec @ .007". The intakes were worse. Unfortunately i can't get adjustment pucks. Which i found out after i tore it down. Going on 2 weeks now. Just gonna slap it back together for now and maybe take it to the place in Dearborn that works on old Yamaha's.  I'll post more as it goes back together.

Um,.....I can't wait?

I better put a lot of miles as quickly as I can on the new bike. I'll have a little over a week to get a feel for the 725 pounder. I talked to the guy today, he's still good on everything. Hopefully I'll have it road ready before the end of the week.

So fucking good

Fo real

2nd annual spring road trip! UPDATED:5/7/12!

I spent some time this morning mapping possible routes and came up with this.
Southern spring road trip part deuce

We could maybe do all of Blue Ridge, but the trip would be so tight on time we'd be in the saddle for 12-15hrs. a day again. I'd like to have more time to stop and enjoy stuff. If you can ride into Monday, that's be sweet. I figure if I leave home @ 6am Saturday, I can be in Florence y'all by 11:30. Eat lunch, leave Florence y'all by 12:30, get to Deals Gap by 6:30.(I added and hour almost to each leg to account for gassy pissy stops) Make camp, hit some roads till dark, eat. Sunday morning hit up the roads, jump on Blue Ridge, and take it about half way, shoot north thru Virgina, maybe dip our toes into WV just cause we're so close, and make camp near the Virginia/Kentucky border. Monday maybe do a little morning  back road riding to Lexington, then split up for home. If I leave Lexington by 12pm I should still make it home by 7pm. We'll see how it goes and how tired we are I guess. We may make better time than I plan and get further, it's all subjective, but this gives us a rough outline. As you can see I avoided all expressways, so if we get too far behind we can always opt for the faster route.

UPDATE: We are stopping in Little Switzerland! NC BBQ! http://switzerlandcafe.com/
I'll keep searching for the best eats on the trip. No Boonesville chicken sandwhich in a double wide for us this trip! Remember that dude that couldn't understand me say "can I get some mayo" He had to send out another person to translate. "mayo? maaayyyo? Oh! You mean May-youhn-aaaise!"

Best day in a long time! THANKS N&H!

So I put Biggiesmalls in his car seat to run an errand today, and he didn't cry at all the whole trip! I thought that was fantastic, but as I turned the mom-mobile onto our street I spotted the mullet. A salt and pepper majestic mane, that had soo much more depth of color and body than I can feebly describe. It was flowing, blowing in the wind.
 As if it were a shampoo commercial or something.
I swear it was in slowmo. So I thought the day had peaked. Moments later as I sit in my garage with the baby Porkins and Jake, listening to Jake tell me about the XT350, a fedex truck rolls up. We get a package full of Coney ingredients from Team Tabernacles Michigan chapter! Saying Michigan chapter sounds impressive. Anyway I start feeling sticky in my drawers, but it was premature as usual, because the tank for the XS arrived seconds later from TCBros, and in the same pile of mail were the bungs from Hughs Handbuilt!

I think I may die soon. I'm going to change my pants though don't want to pull out chunks of pubes because they dried into the seminal fluid/undies matrix.

FREE STICKERS

I have decided what I would like to do to give away our stickers.

I will send some stickers to you. Some for your trapper keeper. At least one for something cool.

I would like pics of where you put your sticker, so I can put said sticker photo up on this blog.

Rules:


1. No placing stickers anywhere that would get us in a heap of shit. (on the corpse of the person you just robbed, on a police car windshield, naked children, top secret military information.)
2. Please be as entertaining as possible with it. We are not prude by any means, go ahead and be sick(within the bounds of rule #1) and creative.
3. More rules to be added as I/we see fit.

Here is what you get for your trouble:
If your picture of our sticker somewhere great really tickles our fancy, you will receive some sort of care package. I don't know what will be in that package. Probably some TN or MI products, maybe something edible or maybe something useful. It could end up being a postcard a day for a month with a haiku on the back.

Prize worthy pics will be picked at our/my whim. Prizes will be picked at our/my whim.

So send your requests to rmfinh@gmail.com

 Let the entertainment begin.
