I just had a Waterford cop follow me for THREE miles thinking he was going to catch an easy ticket.


He was parked at a relatively high traffic (for this town anyway...) intersection waiting for some tard to fly past or have a broken light, etc when i approached. He IMMEDIATELY starts eyeballing me as i throw my hand out straight and proceed through the intersection. He MUST have known my bike was old enough (85 and older, mine is an 83.) to not legally need turn signals since he didn't light up or squak at me. He just kept a fair distance as i keep the speed 2-3mph below the legal limit and carefully signal all my turns and generally be a "model citizen" the entire distance to my home. He finally gave up and sped past me as i turned onto my home road. :)



tl;dr FUKK DA PO-LEEEECE!

The weather was gorgeous today. I played GTAIV until 5am last night and was woken at 11am to take a friends' kids to chuck e. cheese. After four hours of screaming kids and bargaining over which toy i will buy them i finally get home and rip the tarp off my baby. ('83 Suzuki GS1100E)

I'm fairly disgusted by the stench of mouse crap under my (raised) rear tire, but get over it since they stayed out of my bike proper. I race downstairs, rip my battery off the tender and race back up and plug it in. In less than 2 revolutions it roars to life in a nicely controlled idle. I let it warm up (with a couple quick blips for my own sake) and it does so with only some minor smoking from the block/exhaust. It stopped eventually so i write it off as either the gobs of WD40 i coated the bike with before the winter or dry/hardened gaskets from the long storage period. Happily i crack the drain bolt and wander off to let the old oil piss out.

Twenty minutes later it's bone dry and the moment i torque the drain bolt back down, it rains. Even if i'll willingly ride through ride, i can't help but think i'm being mocked.

Why is it every time i think to myself "Hey, i'll get the bike out for the season!" it then snow at least 3 inches? You southerners don't know how lucky you are!

I just unplugged our fridge since it only has condiments, soda and a turkey in it. It all got jammed into my parents fridge to save money :P

I love you Rachel.

Don't you love finding dead simple fixes to perplexing problems? My GS1000E will idle high at 3k or so once you ride it a bit and wean it off the choke. However if you start it warm it'll happily idle at 1100. I wrack my brain all night after replacing my intake boots. Then it logic hits me. I adjusted my throttle cable at the bars, but not at the carbs. I should go fix that before i forget it tomorrow and start the process again :P
