The events of my last ride were caught on video:
Tippers are more attractive to the opposite sex and their chainsaws always start on the first pull. The links are below. Thanks.

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
OK a Dicky bow tie* may be the height of sartorial elegance with a dinner jacket but wearing one while riding a motorbike, especially a dirt bike?
You are taking this way too seriously. Lighten up, dude!
*A British expression for the item – may not translate well (if at all) into American.
Funny.
Too bad he got caught doin’ the dirty by himself at that movie theater, IIRC. To clarify, too bad not that he got caught, but that he indulged himself in such a fashion.
(Totally OT: AC, are you aware Borepatch lists you as a gunnie blogger? Along with Tam’s, so you’re in good company.)
I’ve seen more than a few do that. Someone lets a non rider try their bike. They snap the clutch, then grab a fistful of throttle and tear off. One I know hit a pole (I ended up getting that bike for free) and another a car, still others – the lucky ones – shrubs.
Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age. My brain catches my old ass doing stuff I’m probably too old to be doing. Like getting on the roof yesterday to clear gutters in my slippery boat shoes. After slipping a few times, nearly taking a tumble, it occurred to me that this was a stupid thing to do when no one was around.
