Still poor, still rolling...

The smoke, clatter and clank of life is behind you. The shake and push of combusted chemical is in you. Ahead of you is is the wind, the road, and the things your trying not to hit!

I took the Katana out on a ride with the CMA and discovered their average speed was around 90 mph. This is not what I consider rolling but more like testing my faith in the fact that God doesn't want me dead yet. In all fairness they warned me that they were a faster group than some of the other chapters. I'm hoping to work in a slower ride but they are shutting down for the season so I doubt I will get the chance.

This is part of my hobby that drives me crazy, all winter now I'll watch other people that still make cards, paint pictures, or knit and I'll be over in the corner going crazy with nothing to do. You say things like I'll rebuild my bike over the winter, but then it's cold and who wants to do that? The transmission went out on our 01 Impala so we had to sell our worldly goods to make ends meet. When your down, you just gotta keep rolling.

I started a new project, a rat rod ten speed that will hopefully get a electric motor to help push it along. Check it out.

Who cares?

Yeah! So if you haven't noticed blogging is not my strong suit. I haven't posted since April, and it's August. On that note who cares? I don't see this as any part of my life's work to blog. It is what it is :)

So I've been riding my Katana form time to time. It's cleaned up nicely since winter storage and has become quite the street bullet. Of course the rear tire is wearing and the chain is streching, but that's normal for a rocket. I've been on a ride with the riders in the son (a Horizons Church based group of riders) but found I was the only one there with a wife and kids at home. I'm still looking for that place I fit in. I'm looking at riding with a Christan Motorcycle Association group called Godspeed next and they all ride rockets. It will be a real change of pace I'm sure.

I sold my motor bicycle, again. I thought it would help someone out but they just resold it and crashed it. I think it's time for a new approach on the motorbicycling building. Not for my own bikes but if I'm going to put them together for people they are going to have to bring the parts. I can't afford to build them and hope someone will buy them. So there will be one more boardtrack. Third times the charm right?

Adam asked if I wanted to ride the Katana to first Thurs this month. Most everyone I know don't like riding downtown so I was shocked he was up for it. So I missed out on the Velodrome races but had some cheap pizza and a Dew. Life is good. He's all ready planning next months ride too! I'm trying to wrap my head around the Minneapolis Mess Around coming up in September. I first heard about this rockabilly event at the Bluecat Motors open house. Gotta love Bluecat, check 'em out.

As the early 70's movies used to say "More to come?"
