Bugs were out in force here too especially between orchards and vineyards. It (is) springtime. My helmet shield and the front of the bike were covered! You hit more the faster you go…After tomorrow’s ride it’s cleanup time for sure. I’ll take the Kawasaki Sunday. The Honda is on the lift...

Why?

Took the Busa out for a short 135 mile loop. Was a bit chilly and breezy but there was almost no traffic. I saw one bike, an 07 CBR1000 with under 5,000 miles. Looked great but small compared to the Busa. I thought it was a 600 at first glance. Rode over a couple favorite 8 mile straights...

In a practiced draw and shoot I’ve found that clutching the center of my shirt with my weak hand has an excellent steadying effect on my aim.

Whaddyathink? A pic of your pic with my iPhone 15

Bordello? I’ve got a good story about one I visited in Mexico in 1970. Right out of an old B movie.

42 now but supposed to rise to the 50s and 60s by the weekend and into the 70s next week.
