i took the bug eye brick off the truck friday for a saturday ride in the santa cruz mountains... there was some folks watching me take the bike down... they looked bewildered...
today i put the bike on the truck and the same folks were outside the hotel watching me put it up... still looking bewildered... i figured out they were hanging out in the smoking area so these folks must be heavy smokers...
when i was all done one came over and said... sir... that is one intense hobby you have... i said... its not a hobby... its a habit...
empty bed except for all the gear...
bug eye brick all covered in geezer...
bug eye brick with bags and mirrors ready to come off...
bug eye brick with bags and mirrors removed...
hand crane on mount and chain on headache bar...
sling around rear wheel... through pipe to keep straps away from side panels and seat... around frame straps in front of tanks...
up and ready to go on side stand...
sitting on side stand ready to slide into place...
strap around wheel to slide to over to clear trailer when hooked... chain and strap holding rear wheel to headache bar...
front and rear wheel strapped down and frame strapped down ready for the gezer...
all geezered... time to roll to the next town... next week in tulare... then onto the socal... lthe oc and the la...
its a habit... like smoking the cloven hoofed beast of the pasture... jonesing for 2 more weeks...
you gotta eat...
