Karma finally paid off

Big Big big shout to my new friends from the constabulary force.

All the pain, sweat, spilled blood, strained back paid off last night.

On the house front ...

Silly things I have done on two wheels

Oh crap I need to finish my break-in ASAP!

Cue in worst plan ever to cram in as much KMs as I can in one evening:


View Larger Map

It sounded like a very good plan, except:
  • It was early May
  • I left town at 5 pm
  • I had no idea what my range was and if there was enough gas stations along the way.
  • It get dark quite fast in early May
  • This was not the best way to accomplish my goal
  • The bike was 2-3 weeks old
In the end I made it back in town just in time to call my wife good night. I had been driving in the dark for the last hours, I had broken several speed limits and was cold.

That night I broke 800km on the odo and finally was able to rev past 6.5k

But the huge smile I had on my face made it worth it's while!

If I were to do it again, I would probably be stupid enough to try to cram as many KMs in one evening, but this time I would plan my ride using Google Map and would definitely hit the 300KM mark!

Shopping list

The following is now off the shopping list:
  • Givi E41 hard luggage

The following is now on the shopping list:
  • House supplies

Yeah, that's right. I am not putting down the shopping list for the house, I would kill myself.

New word suggestion for the English dictionary

Craptacular: Spectacularly crap. See Craptastic or Chevrolet Cobalt.

Craptastic: Fantastically crap. See Chevrolet Cobalt or Craptastic.

Scamtastic: Scam of a fantastic scale. See Craiglist.

How could GM screw up the Delta platform is beyond me. The Opel/Saturn Astra is light years ahead.
