Summer is definitely here
« on: June 13, 2009, 07:24:59 AM »
Because of the damn bugs!! I went to a friends house and sat in the backyard in the grass. No big deal until I get home and start itching. I apparently sat in a nest of chiggers or something because I have at least 100 bug bites that are itching like CRAZY  >:( I couldn't sleep for crap for all the damn itching. I'm going nuts

I'm glad to have a full "wrap" helmet just because of the bugs!  The only time they get in is when I have the visor open.

Winter has just arrived in New Zealand. >:( :(
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

any bug bites? make a poultice of cigarette (or pipe) tobacco & spit & put it on the affected area - pain etc goes away very quickly & welt (whatever) heals up the same
  doesn't work with ready made smokes - something to do with the extra chemical crap in them

Yah, for some reason winter sure seemed longer than usual here in WI.  Today we had 78 and sun.  Got out on the K1 today and the KO yesterday.  I love summer.

Uhhh, that's because it IS longer here in WI.  ;)  Last year it snowed in April, but this spring has been rather forgiving.
