Evenin' folks.

I got my ride in today. I found out that sport bikes are NOT the best bikes to be on for over two hours! :lol:

My GPS didnt hold a charge, so I couldnt use it. My personal cell phone had a 50% charge when we got back from my haircut/walmart, and it was completely dead in two hours. :facepalm: So, I got my work cell phone and it only had a 25% charge. WTH?!? I put it in the tank bag since it had the most charge(Its working great Bamrz! Thank you!!!) So, I just tried to get to the road I wanted from memory. Afterall, I was staring at maps for two days straight. Naturally, that didnt work out too good. One of the major state roads was under construction. Nearly a mile of it wasnt even paved. After dropping my bike in sand the first time, I was scared as hell driving on a surface of nothing but sand and gravel. Even though I could feel the bike sliding around, I managed to keep it on two wheels. I made it about half way to Columbia, stopped at a gas station, then punched in the road name on my work phone and prayed that it would last the half hour needed to get me to the road. I got there without to much problem. The road itself wasnt all that great. I dont think its been paved in 50 years, and the right of ways had been mowed, so there was only half a lane without grass clippings that I could actually ride on. But there were lots of signs showing curvy roads next 5 miles, speed limit 35. REALLY curvy roads next 7 miles, speed limit 10. It was actually a fun, though a little bumpy ride.

Time to go to bed. Early. Tomorrow is going to be a REALLY LONG day. Its my 8 hour day, followed by 6 hours off when Im going to try to nap, then back to work from 10p-6a, then start my day Tuesday at 7am until 4p. Then practice at....7:30...?

Goodnight all!

Um, I have 2 of them coming. One from the co-op and one from a pre-order, at this point I'm not sure which one will arrive first. You are welcome to one if you'd like, I knew there would be someone that would want one at a decent price. :)
