^^ooofff, sorry to hear about the ribs, hope to see you there in any capacity^^
Was prepping this weekend! Tires scrubbed, bolts bolted, bike CLEANED (made me think of Paul, always gave me shit for not having a clean bike
). Nothing but gassing up and packing
arty
Anyway, prepping and riding got me thinking of past rallies and all the awesome amazing people you get to meet, ride, and spend time with. Great memories and miles of smiles. If you are interested in going and are on the fence for any reason, pull the trigger and go!
I also had a “holy shit” moment. A very strong memory popped. On Hoho 2021, I had the pleasure of having lunch in Etna at Denny Bar Co. with Paul “Big Dog Bites” and Ed “Sweeping Winger”. Moto lunch for me is usually gas station or roadside, sitting for a long lunch means I’m not riding. Boo. But that Saturday, I heard Ed and Paul talking about this place in Etna and I’m thinking that it would be really cool to sit with these guys. I am so glad I did. A nice long lunch with two moto OGs on a day when we didn’t have to be anywhere. I will miss them.
I’ll be thinking about BDB, Sweeping Winger, and Hoho this coming weekend. My bike will be clean, I’m not going to be in a hurry, and will bring some crazy unnecessary tech gadget. 3 scoops please.
