North Valley Cycle in Phoenix, AZ has a new 2014 Black CB1100 for $7900. [/size]

sounds yukky huh? but earworms are actually catchy tunes or dittys that get stuck in your head that you hum over and over. I had a terrible time with them on the men's trip this year. I'd get one stuck in my head and say to my brother "I have this song stuck in my head" and my brother would say 'I can help you with that" and then start singing another annoying song that would stick in my head. When I'd complain about it he'd say "I can help you with that" and start singing yet another song that gets stuck in your head. arrgghhh

On tonight's ride my wife and I are out cruising, beautiful country roads, (by the way Country Roads by John Denver was one of the ones that got me on the Men's Trip as was Willie Nelson's On the Road again) and all of a sudden I realize I am humming Roger Miller's "England Swings" song, just 1 verse, over and over:

England swings like a pendulum do
bobbys on bicycles two by two
Westminster Abby the clock of Big Ben
something something something... little children

it wasn't until an hour after the ride I remembered it was
"the rosy red cheeks" of the little children. It was still stuck in my head.

So, how many of you have this affliction and what are some of the annoying tunes that seem to get stuck the most (and please don't even mention that stupid Don McClean song or that will be stuck in my head for days lol)

We'll be heading out on our 2016 big trip on October 8th (good thing that I finally finished my report of our 2015 trip). The usual band of ragtags sans my still-recovering wife are going to check out the fall colors in West Virginia. This is my friend Mike A's trip and it looks like a good one, especially because it includes an afternoon of riding with The Ferret.

I thought I'd put out our itinerary in case any CB riders will be in the vicinity and might like to meet for a ride or a meal or something.

DAY 1 – Saturday 10.08.16: From Chicago TO Marysvill, OH via US30 and US33


DAY 2 – Sunday 10.09.2016: MARYSVILLE, OH TO ELKINS, WV

DAY 3 – Monday 10.10.2016: Loop Route from Elkins through Parsons, Thomas, part of Maryland, and Seneca Rocks.

DAY 4 – Tuesday 10.11.2016: Elkins to Marlinton, WV via US219 and Highland Scenic Highway

DAY 5 – Wednesday 10.12.2016: Exploration loop into Virginia through Snowshoe Ski Area

DAY 6 – Thursday 10.13.2016: Marlinton to Charleston, WV

DAY 7 – Friday 10.14.2016: Charleston to Cincinnati via some route that The Ferret will come up with.

DAY 9 – Sunday 10.16.2016: Columbus, IN to Chicago via US45

Recently finished a trip from OR to midwest and back, bike was in the sun long hours over 2 weeks of riding, the rear turn signals faded significantly from orange to dull, whitish color on the top. Questions: will this affect my mpg? should I change my oil?

Love it.

Out in LA for the weekend, and got a chance to blow the dust off the Speed Triple I keep out here, and go for a nice head- clearing ride up and around Angeles Crest. I left the Atlantic Ocean at Sea Girt NJ at 6 AM, and 10 hours later was on a spirited ride in the mountains all the way across the continent.

While I don't get out here enough, I get great peace of mind knowing my steed is on its battery tender in the clubhouse waiting for me! Beautiful day.

Veldt has a very cool helmet design page that lets you configure a completely custom helmet that they'll manufacture for you. It can get a little pricey, though.

Ouch

I'm down to 1 street bike ( GS1100EZ) which is in dry storage. My XX left last week for FL and my N1K was picked up last evening headed to Cave Creek AZ. Robe, maybe you'll see it near the twin restaurants up there. The new owner is Dave Lindgren who owns First Class Auto Body in Scottsdale. Nice guy who is also a pilot.

Since buying my Stromer ST1S (e-bike) in late June I have not ridden my motorcycles. What started out as a novelty has turned out to be a passion to pedal. I've gone from riding to training. I average 120 miles a week and the training shows. I have recently bought a SPECIALIZED ROUBAIX EXPERT UDI2 and plan my first century ride Oct 16th. I train every other day (30-40 MI) switching bikes. My weekend ride has increased to 65 miles with Elev. Gain of 4800ft. With my Stromer I average 19-20 MPH (Like riding a Motorcycle) my Specialized is 16MPH.

I ride motorcycles to fast and my ability to react has slowed down the last few years. I've been lucky, pedaling came at the right time for physical well being.
