An Old Goat...







I sneaked out the backdoor and fired up the shovel a few days back..Had that urge to feel some wind..Glide is home and in the number two spot..It's going to have to work real hard at proving itself..Little hot that day but I didn't mind..Told not to ride and that makes even more important to do so..That I need to ride feeling has been missing,,,I needed that feeling to find it's way back..

A couple of hours in to back roads to nowhere I stopped and got some water and backed up to a tree..slide down to enjoy..Had that sensation of something creeping up on me so I slowly turned to look..There stood this poor old ugly mean looking goat..Howdy Mister Goat..what's up..Unlike most goat who are loud and whinny Mister Goat just stood there chilling..It got me thinking..Young goats and old goats,,youth and experience..I betting me and the old goat were noisy and annoying in our youth..Get a little older you find that not saying anything at times is the boldest statement you can make..

So as we sat back and shared a ham and cheese..watched the fish jumping in the pond beside us me and the goat we sorta figured things out..nothing said, nothing lost..just to old goats enjoying a afternoon..As I rode away I got to thinking..you know me and Mister Goat are gonna do this again one day soon...See Ya...

The Glide and other junk...

Got the Glide back..new 110ci of fun..wait..Nice I could get use to it..like the bags I can carry rocks in them for the collection..they do rattle a bit..the rocks..Bike was nice for a short time..Shifting got hard between 3rd and 4th..then as the miles wore on it made it to the rest of the gears..It is back home..at the shop..anyone wants it. with less than 4000 miles on it I will take a loss..Might trade it in for a Dyna..Might light it on fire and roast hotdogs..

Went to the doc yesterday..Looks like riding is gonna be slow this year..Health shit has jumped back in the way again..I went through the pissed off..the fuck it and other fine feeling that go along with the news..Jumped on the shovel for a little cool down period and not a block from the doc's place I get pulled over..some jerk off stole the blue license plate off the bike..Now that really pissed me off..ruined a perfect afternoon of life threating lane splitting..Like it mattered..

Well things calm down..life goes on and we just deal with what is tossed our way..It is no big deal..Blood pressure is still good so if I can't ride much it just opens up more time for rants..Maybe a few more old stories will pop up along the way..See Ya...
