All systems checked and double checked, packed, repacked and final system check later tonight. Departure time 5:30 am tomorrow morning, or earlier.<br /><br /><b>Joe:</b> Yes you can boost the battery but not "jump" start a scooter. Same with any vehicle with auto transmission<br /><br /><b>Geoff:</b> I would have never known you lived in Tennessee. You still have your UK accent<br /><br /><b>Gary:</b> I don't know how you crammed 4 months of stuff into your saddle bags. I'm only gone a fraction of your time and I'm struggling<br /><br /><b>SonjaM:</b> as you know, Gerard is a jokester, and he did fidget a bit on a straight stretch<br /><br /><b>Jack:</b> I wished you had stuck to your original plan of coming to Redmond too. Couldn't you have sat pillion with another rider<br /><br /><b>Ms M:</b> I was going to get my V-strom washed, but somehow didn't. I did get a lot of action video with soap suds, and unusual cleaning action. Water was flying everywhere. I could title the video "GGW: bike wash" <em>(GGW= Girls Gone Wild)</em><br /><br /><b>Nikos:</b> I noticed a photo of Mrs Nikos you posted recently. Please send her over. I may send her back, someday<br /><br /><b>Jimbo:</b> You have to be very careful of the quiet ones. Thank you for your birthday wishes. Too bad you couldn't have come west to visit your relatives in Vancouver, WA. We could have diverted for a visit<br /><br /><b>Troubadour:</b> The wee is top heavy already without more added weight. I think the problem is more mounting and dismounting rather than the ride<br /><br /><b>Tony:</b> I did a poll and everyone except yourself thinks that they are PJ's . They are chuckling behind your back<br /><br /><b>Kari/BlueKat:</b> Can't wait to see you Saturday with your matching Ninja Green Crocs with matching Ninja<br /><br /><b>Mr Conchscooter:</b> actually, it felt okay, until he tried to reach for my cheek, and not the one under the helmetAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-30583234322329318782010-07-14T18:23:11.858-07:002010-07-14T18:23:11.858-07:00I am a failed pornographer.

A somewhat arousing post from someone in their 60's that otherwise would seem to come from someone that I always assumed was sort of reserved and mild mannered. <br />Okay, I really knew better.<br />I, Too have never ridden with another rider and can assume that there is a lot of difference to handling techniques, etc. But I really have to question your choice of rider from which to lose your virginity.<br />But I still like the combination of weenies and crocs in your pictures.<br />Well done my friend, and hope your birthday was well worth it.<br />Have a great time in Oregon!cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-43509971190554130092010-07-12T04:26:23.784-07:002010-07-12T04:26:23.784-07:00Happy Birthday Bob!

Your closing photo is the kind of shot ...Dear Sir:<br /><br />Your closing photo is the kind of shot that does proper justice to any motorcycle column or blog. It is the sort of thing I expect to see from the likes of Conchscooter in Key West, and so seldom do. Therefore, you are temporarilly forgiven for assaulting the senses with those pink crocs. Also, the close-up of the blond in the black slinky dress has earned you points as well. <br /><br />I wouldn't dream of riding anyone pillion on my bike, even if they could fit in there behind me. Bob, you've got some set of stones. Then again if I had been there you would have the the jumper cables too, as they are always in my side cases. <br /><br />Several Mac Pac riders left for the west coast today, with the intent of hitting the rally by the end of the week. I envy them this ride. And I look for your impression of your first BMW rally.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-32498993022290238932010-07-11T18:20:44.804-07:002010-07-11T18:20:44.804-07:00Gerard is just the guy, I so can imagine him doing...Gerard is just the guy, I so can imagine him doing 'the girl' on the back of your bike. Gives me the giggles, too (ok I AM entitled to girl sounds...). Kudos to you that you managed to get the two of you safely back home. I cannot imagine having somebody fidgeting around behind me... Happy birthday, and we will celebrate together once mine comes up in a few days.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-73552047966740791282010-07-11T18:01:23.244-07:002010-07-11T18:01:23.244-07:00I love your posts....

You certainly have an eye for glamour photography and the collection of high heels was superb. Thank you from the other side of the world!<br /><br />Regarding two-up riding, my blackbird was pretty tall and the pillion pegs were very high up. Pillion mounting and dismounting was always stressful and I had a few close calls.<br /><br />PS. I thought your food portions were very sensible and healthy. About half what I was served up in Tennessee when I was working there for a spell in the mid 90's!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-32430239863262525822010-07-11T17:07:23.684-07:002010-07-11T17:07:23.684-07:00Did you really mean that you can't jump start ...Did you really mean that you can't jump start a scooter, or that you can't catch it in gear to start it?
