I wrote a blog about it but just can't bring myself to post it.<br /><br />Yes, two bikes is a nice chore to have to try to manage. We have the SV650 up for sale 'cause with three bikes, and me being the principal rider--I just couldn't keep up. Besides, I really prefer my bike over them all so the others were a tad neglected.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-31494844486862037722010-04-29T19:26:17.822-05:002010-04-29T19:26:17.822-05:00davidaid, thank you so much for dropping by.

I expect it any day. And yes, I do have an air compressor--a small portable one that is easy to transport. But a lot good it did me 'cause I didn't have it with me at the time. I even have access to the little Slime thingy that Chris L. has (Dave has one). At the time, I just needed to get on the bike and ride.(This is in reference to my ST, not the GS I was riding and writing about in this post). I didn't think of what to take. Since getting my bike back from winter camp I haven't reloaded it with the standard stuff--although I've been riding enough that i should have done so by now.<br /><br />I need some "laugh" movies. I will check out Starquest. What I'm really looking for is a really silly movie that I can't recall the name. The woman, who is either Japanese or Chinese, rides a BMW 650 that can fly, start itself up and come on demand. I've seen it about 100 times but can't think of the name. Oh well...<br /><br />Thanks Jack. I'll let you know about the EZ air...Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-25790758313613078992010-04-29T19:09:07.582-05:002010-04-29T19:09:07.582-05:00SonjaM--thanks for dropping by and the well wishes...SonjaM--thanks for dropping by and the well wishes.

At first I was jealous about your opportunity to ride two great bikes, then I remembered I already have a couple... :) :) <br /><br />I also find my dualsport much easier to do a u-turn on than my sportbike. I think it's the handlebar layout. <br /><br />Nice title too...

Trust me on this one."<br /><br />One of the more useful pieces of gear I have is a licensed Harley Davidson product. (Imagine that.) It is a beach sized blanket with velcro tabs to keep it rolled. It is waterproof on one side, and fleece on the other. It is great for stretching out in grass that ma be a bot to cool, or slightly damp, to start with. I got it at a Haley dealer's free when I bought a pair of gloves. <br /><br />Speaking of gear, did you ever get the EZ Tire pressure gauge? I was wondering what you thought of it. I have ordered a new voltmeter like yours.<br /><br />And Sharon, I was surrised to read that you were fillig up your tires at the gas station. Don't you have a tire compressor with your tools? Ask bobsoot about the one he has in the garage, no bigger than an electric drill, with a built in pressure gauge. I have a Cycle Pump unde my seat for those days when the rbber needs a little topping off. <br /><br />I hate going through the motions down at the gas station.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-82338906879159066352010-04-26T18:59:10.187-05:002010-04-26T18:59:10.187-05:00Thanks for taking us on this short and sweet ride,...Thanks for taking us on this short and sweet ride, although other things seem to worry you.

I never really thought about riding on my own but I loved it as a child, with my dad.<br /><br />I took a deep breath of contentment after reading your post. It just felt good, to read it. Sounds to me like miles well spent. Thank you for sharing the joy of it.:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
