"A chance encounter", or "You meet the nicest people..."
« on: July 16, 2010, 04:43:29 PM »
I was out riding today and I stopped at a gas station to get out of the rain and grab a bite to eat.  While I was sitting there I saw a fully loaded bike pull in and a woman hop off and head inside, I glanced at the plates and couldn't recognize them.  Finished my burrito, went outside, the plates are British Columbia - mind you, I live in Pennsylvania.  I had to see who this woman was and hear her story...she came out and I said "Nice rig" and she asked if the Honda was mine. We started talking like we'd known each other forever - this is her travel blog, and she's only about halfway through this journey.  The bike is an '83 Suzuki GS750, she's a Canadian musician/artist, and I'm blown away by her story, her disposition (she had just rode through a wicked PA t-storm and still had her rain gear on), this trip, everything.  Now I have to go through the entire travel blog and read it all!

You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(
