It Is Alive!!! Bwahahahahahaha

I get it. My DRZ and a few others are up for sale. Especially if it's uncomfortable and causes a hip issue. I love them all but sometimes a guy has to cut ties with some of his favorite girls.

I bought that second tank of gas today. So, 150 miles @3 gals of regular 50mpg. The old broad has always been good on gas. That distance would be 6 gals of premium with Arpok.

It looks like I'll be riding the Maggot for the foreseeable future, and I no longer commute to work anymore, so I pulled the scooter trunk off the rear rack. Just doing that makes it a lot easier to swing my leg over.

I had a minor 'oh, shit' moment when I went to remove it as I had wired a brake light to the trunk back in 2011. I had a sigh of relief when I lifted the seat and I actually wired it in with plugs. I was kind of patting myself on the back when I saw that I did a pretty pro job of wiring up that bike. Relays are all labeled, routing is neat, zip ties trimmed. It almost looked like I knew what I was doing.

I took the old fart out for a run today. It started right up after sitting since Octember. Weird that a bike that’s so hard to throw a leg over can feel so cramped once my butt is parked on the seat.

Exactly how I felt about my brother's older Goldwing. It was amazing to me how huge the bike was but how cramped it felt once I was riding it.

I took it out for another 50 last night. The cross winds were rough. I love the bike but I'm still thinking of finding it a new home and maybe going with something a bit smaller and lighter.

I avoid interstates like the plague, so something like an older RE Bullet 500 may fill the bill.

Right in my line of thinking.... I think an older Bullet would be awesome. My emotions say "older, drum brake, split motor", but my logic tells me "disk brake, unit construction motor".

Heck, I'm having a hard enough time remembering to put my foot down when at a stop on the Honda. A right foot shift, left foot brake would be...well...interesting.

She's still a goer.

Uncomfortable at times, but still a goer. I met Old Weird Harold for breakfast yesterday in his little town and kinda, sorta took the long way home.

My Model G complicates matters even more. Not only is is right side shift, but it's "1-up, 3-down."

I was pushing the old fart around in the garage, trying to get it in the right spot so I could close the overhead door without it tripping the sensor. Damn near dropped it, again, when the sidestand folded up. I felt joints popping while holding it up and getting the sidestand back down.

Another reason for probably finding it a new home.
