My better half does not say anything except be careful when I leave for the ride. Then she will say don't forget "so and so" are coming over later or we are going over "so and so's" later it's her birthday
or someone's birthday!

Just who is she foolin' LOL!

When i lived in Tucson i rode everyday and had a few different choices of rides. I liked my yamaha enduro because i could be cruzin along and then decide i wanted to on a nature ride. no prob. Houston is very humid and rains alot.
I still get alot of riding time. I love to ride, my wife would probably ride with me more but my passenger seat sucks and i can't afford to buy a better one.

We're going to get a larger bike with a better stock seat when i pay off my vstar in a year so we'll probably get more long range rides done. I'll look at that net sight lonestarrider.net. I hear west texas is a hell of a nice ride.
well i'll talk at ya'all later.. hawg gone for now.....

Living in MN somewhat limits the time to ride. In 2009 I didn't make 10,000 for the first time in many years. Have made over 20,000 before. I usually average about 15,000. Come to think of it, I probably made 10,000 this year considering I put about 1000 on my dualsport. Now I feel better!

Last year I was around 12k. I managed that by doing one of the AMA grand tours. I was out all the time riding everywhere. I was great.
This year I want to do around 8k to 10k. Since it is winter, my rides are fewer and far between but I still get out.
Every year I get my bike inspected by the same shop and he always looks at how many miles I put on since the last year. He then gives me this funny grin and says "that cant be right". My response is "Im just a freak" thats all.
