  Distance per day is a state of mind.

I had to make a stop in West Little Rock, AR. This meant extra miles. I was nervous as I was traveling with a brand new Goldwing, and I was straddling a Yamaha FZ6. At the end of the day, we'd traveled 564 miles to get to Sturgis, KY. That may be common place for many of you, but for me this was my longest in a day. Distance between stops really is a state of mind. Sure, I got hot, my butt was smarting some, and once my hip hurt down to my knee. The longest jaunt between stops was 157.3 miles. The point is that with God's grace, taking alleve before we left, and my motocross padded underpants, I made it :-) Oh! I'd been over 400 on this bike once, and knew I'd make it one way or another. I turned over 30,000 on the odometer on this trip. I probably won't get much out of a budget priced bike that resembles a sport bike with over 30k on it huh? lol Now, I can't wait for the Yamaha FJR next Spring, or...    less

  Does music drive you? Can your moods be swayed by it?

  I'm pretty transparent for the most part.  You can (according to some), read my thoughts, by lookin' at my face.  I HATE that!  So, I listen to music, to help me be a little LESS "see thru"...  Cause while I'm...  moreI'm pretty transparent for the most part.  You can (according to some), read my thoughts, by lookin' at my face.  I HATE that!  So, I listen to music, to help me be a little LESS "see thru"...  Cause while I'm a pretty "straight-up" person, there are times, when I would like to retain, a little mystery.  And music makes it a whole lot easier, to keep some things...ALL TO MYSELF. Or to change a mood, from bad to good. Anyone else feel this way?  I'd love to hear about it...from ALL Ya'll!  Ride Free  Tweek  less
