Dude! I was heading to a pickup location where I’m currently waiting. I was on the 134 freeway in North Hollywood bombing along in the car pool lane when I came up behind a Mongol on a Harley.
Normally you avert your gaze, do not engage and whatever you do, do not pass a vested Mongol.
He moved out of the car pool lane and waved me by. Then stayed a respectful distance behind me for a few miles. After a while he flew past me and gave me a wave.

Wow.
My money is on him having needed a transfusion once upon a time and knowing how bloody important your ride is.
There's a difference in riding a naked bike and riding a bike naked.
Won't make that mistake again.
2013 Honda CB1100 Standard. Gone, but not forgotten.
I called the boss as it was happening. He was pretty surprised.
The day just kept getting better. I did 292 miles today and had to stop for gas on the way home in Long Beach.
I was near Mrs. G”s favorite ice cream place. We don’t usually bring ice cream home from there as it’s a 30 minute drive, but my coolers were still chilled enough so I stopped to grab a pint.
The guy gave me a “public service worker” discount. Nice!

Gone, you seem to be spending more time tarting up bikes than delivering blood.
Those are some beautiful pictures Pdedse. Mt. Hood is quite majestic.
Yeah Cormanus, it’s a little of everything. I dropped off a bike that was complete, picked up this one, and helped break in a new rider on a delivery run on the way back home. Soon the fleet will be complete, with all of the bikes equipped exactly the same way so that riders can take any of them.

We've got five bikes total at the moment. Four 1200s and one 1250. This bike and one more need decals installed and all of the other details. I marvel at the intricate packaging of the decal kits from the U.K. They're separated into the different sections of the bike. I'll do a few sections at a time between delivery runs, along with the lights and other details.
