Stirring the Pot, I am. - Ulvetanna_imp - 01-27-2018
It does occur to me that some members may be taking my wordy posts far too literally (pun absolutely intended). Yep, I'm stirring the pot a bit to see what floats up, that's all. A sense of humor is helpful, but there is always the ignore list.

If I wanted the pot stirred, I'd go make some soup.

The site is still up and around after all these years!

More pot stirring; I am sticking around until VLJ reports back tonight. Or plan on it, anyhow. I hate night riding, don't do it unless there is some ridiculously compelling reason, like, if I just bought a new bike and just HAVE to ride it. Or have to test some new thing, or check the headlight aim.

Where is the ignore list option?
I’d like to sign up for it.

No worries on the lengthy and opinionated posts. As to length, it's good to follow the Gettysburg address method. I will channel Lincoln while others channel Everett. (No offense to our southern friends.)
On the other hand, some of the ride reports I've read on this forum have been breathtaking - you don't realize how much you just read or have seen 'til it's over.

Agreed - I avoid night riding like the plague. Around here lots of critters come out at night on the roads. Besides, things that are a mere annoyance in the daytime can become quite deadly in the dark.

Same here Winston. Too many animals, particularly deer after dusk, plus other obstacles and debris to avoid at night.

Rural riding at night, yes, avoid if at all possible...but city riding on the freeways, that's a blast at night. I mean late after a hot summer day, 11pm or later when there's no traffic...head west towards Portland on I-84, but veer south on to 205 then down and around to I-5 where ya' take a right and head north on 217 through Tigard, right on 26 and through the tunnel--nothing like tunnels on a motorcycle--a quick jog on 405, then back on I-5 north, cross the bridge into Vancouver, W14 east to the 205 bridge, cross the Columbia back into OR and then return home on I-84...the Sportster was fun on that, exhaust never sounded better, gauges all lit up, the CB1100 instrument panel--a work of art at night. Somenights I'd do that, "finish", and then turn around and do same route in reverse...a good two hour plus ride. A weeknight is better to avoid the crazzies.
On the other hand...I've had to ride in rural Mexico once at night when I miscalculated how far away the next town was...white knuckle riding all the while fearing gaping pot holes would swallow me up, or a burro, vaca or cabra, or otherwise inebbriated being would jump out in front of me. Got behind a decently moving truck and was happy to watch his tail lights for an hour.
