A little over a week ago, I had joked about going to Chicago to visit some friends, some family, and see some sick motorcycles.
A week ago, mkramer1121 sent me a message stating that i should come.
After giving quite possibly every excuse to not get off my lazy ass....I began making arrangements to have my animals babysat, taking off work and talking the boyfriend into coming, or not freaking out if I went and hung out with 2 or more dudes, that I know only, via SOHC.
Needless to say... I GOT MY WAY!
HAHAHAHAH!!!!
So, mkramer and spikey bike graciously offered a place to stay and even an extra bike to ride!
Friday morning, day before mvr, i woke up at 5 am and threw the boyfriend and the dog in the car.
The boyfriend was sick, and the dog was antsy, mother nature #$%*ing hates me, but after 12 hours, 2 energy drinks, alot of pee breaks, pepto, antacids and a freaking monsoon, we made it.
Naturally I couldn't go straight to bed cause of "nerves"
So we had 2 or 14 beers some talking, some singin, some horsin around the spikey bike, around 230 am I finally got to sleep. Goodnight spikey bike!
I wouldn't complain about my sleeping situation, because I did indeed have a dry (mostly, thanks stanley) inside place to sleep.
If my dog wasn't such a dufus. I might've slept more than 2 hours.
Naturally I was unhappy about not having my own bike, but I had the next best thing......welll sorta!
mkramer was super nice and allowed me to borrow his versys, only, the boyfriend came with and I was too short to reach the ground enough to safely operate it so.... I had to ride on back
But that was ok! and you'll see why. All the stuff we miss while we're riding is really pretty amazing!
First we had to return some video tapes....I'll shutup for a while....
The mosquitos there are huge......nah. hahaThere was almost a dozen helicopters leaving the naval base.....
It's hard to take pictures straight up.....
It was beautiful out, although it was bloody hot!
And then we found the traffic! yaaay, I sure missed it!
Mike's purdy little bike giving him some "trouble" Yea right... He just wanted to ride the shoulder....
Spikey, showing off his abs.
I love this picture
Just signs.. Oh! if you look close under the rubberband on my arm you can see my header pipe burn is almost healed!
ahhh the skyline!
To be continued....
