***Sigh***

Heavy traffic, grouchy mood, a-hole cagers, other unsafe riders, cops all over the place,

:roll:

 

[Fstpicker]

You are so right! It can be a pain negotiating traffic at times.


Let's all take a collective deep breath....and unwind.

It's gonna happen. But tomorrow (at least for me) is saturday. And where I'm gonna be, it's gonna be a GREAT saturday. And it's gonna be spent riding!

Think of it this way - at least you're saving on outrageously expensive gas.

 

[Wize-azz]

City riding can be stressful, my favorite rides are around the countryside.

 

[rcsiki]

Same here today, despite the gas price, the roads are packed dawn to dust. Weekends & countryside roads - that's the recipe.

Couldn't believe Premium was $3.80 today!!! AARRGGHH!! :evil: :evil:

Check out the roads between Ft Hood and San Angelo. It used to be nice riding when I was there. (1980's) I remember Fm580 was very nice.

I just got my bike out a few weeks ago (when the snow stopped). So ANY riding is good riding right now!!! :lol:

 

[Frederickson Flier]

80F last Saturday. Today it snowed and never got above 46F. The snow didn't stick but it made me stay in the garage.

Come on Summer!

~FF~

 

[brian o]

[Canuck]

Been there JimKo to the point that I couldn't wait to get off the bike.
You will get over it.

:roll:

:shock: my worst day ever ~ yesterday ~ could have been MUCH worse (knock on wood) ... somebody was riding with me & I'm not religious...

during an escort mission with PGR to Arlington National Cemetery~ I started to get a knot in my stomach - thought about it & should have broke off & went home at that point - but on the way home - in stop-n-go freeway traffic, hotter than sh#t, started really not feeling good - figured it was just heat...

pulled off on the next rest stop & got a $1.75 20oz bottle of almost cold water from their vending machine ~ tried to refill the bottle plus 2 others I had with me at the drinking fountain that didnt work :roll:

sat for a few minutes in the shade & then geared back up & continued on ... still hot, still stop-n-go ... apparently I blanked out a couple of times :shock: but not for too long, & always still in my lane.

I decided to get off the interstate & got to a 7-11 just off the exit & got a huge bottle of Gatorade - stood in the shade under the "no loitering" sign & then proceeded around to the side of the building to dry heave a couple of times... :?

should have stopped then, but felt a little better as I cooled off ... called the wife & let her know where i was at. I went straight to my class (as it was closer than home & I had 30mins to sit in the break room to rest & see how I felt... )

barely made it thru to the first break in the class (about an hour in) called the wife & had her come pick me up - bike is still sitting (i hope) in the Univ. lot ~ I let security & admin know my situation & that it may be left there...

went straight to bed & called in sick today - slept all day, finally ate around 2pm ...

just can't stop thinking how stupid it was to continue on riding in my "condiditon" dont know how I made it from Arlington to Stafford without winding up off the side of the road or lodged in someone's trunk.

turns out it was a stomach virus that the kids had recently (sure the heat didnt help either, tho) :?

 

[Biker Principal]

Hope your feeling better. The heat just multiplies a stomach virus by about 100%.

Thanks - yea ... nothing a good day of being comatose in bed didnt cure ... my left leg hurts tho ... muscle to bone ... :? may have slept on it wrong ? (for 10-12 hours...) :lol:

Riding is what we enjoy.
Traffic is what we survive.


(Especially when it comes to road rage.)
