Cold and windy today so I might as well work on the bike in her shade cover. It's warming up a little so I'll run into town. I changed my shift lever back to the one I had on there for 20 years. The new one I bought from Z1E looked great but I couldn't get one notch down because of the pawl holding the kick stand spring. I'd miss shifts as a result.

I don't care what it looks like. I don't miss shift with it.

When I get back from town, I think I will attack my new oil cooler. That will take some doing. :whistle:

These people were playing cat and mouse with me for 5 miles. When I could pass, the van and car would speed up, then they would slow down again. They thought they had me again, I don't think so.
:angry: Saw it was clear and went for it. By by.

The car followed me all the way into town. All butt hurt. :whistle:

Almost got me. CHP will give tickets to anyone. They're revenue collectors more than LE in my opinion. :dry:

Without a doubt in the world all they do is revenue raising - does absolutely nothing for road safety - can you see them putting fine money back into the roads. They go on about "speed kills" here - well rarely it might but it is the shocking state of roads in this country that kill - will compile a short video of them and post as soon as i can.
What was the speed limit along there Steve ?

"It's 55." The slow birds do 35-45. Arrogant people. There is a law about impeding traffic but it is rarely enforced. Our SO will, if nothing else, pull them over and read them them "riot act". Sometimes even pull their licence if they're over 70 and not sharp. I love that. I'd love to see one of those "land yachts" being hauled away by a big rig wrecker. :woohoo: Our roads will only be fixed if enough people are killed on them or it's time to apply for more grant money. Starts in May and ends in June. If they don't spend it all, they won't get as much the next fiscal year. Another racket.

Feeling kinda shaggy, I went into town to see my barber and get supplies. (beer, cat food and ciggies) I don't think his daughter likes me or maybe she does. :whistle:

Had to drop Bossie off at the sitter. :( Cold as hell and my daughter wanted me to take the truck. Turns out she wanted to use my tools. Building a office. Oh well, a working turky day. :whistle: It's 4:10 PM and into the low 40's. Yeah, it's cold. :pinch:

Windier than FK. Vons has a new GANK. You use your debit card and they charge credit price.

Open season for scams.
