Nothing like an up- beat riding buddy

[1olbull]

I'm trying to get to Spokanistan sooner than that Bull. Work had me on the calander this fll then it moved to Dec now to Spring. I should be there for a week of work and I plan on taking the weekend for myself to visit anyone who will sit a spell. Maybe head down to see @RocketRoger and you too if I can.

Hey Buddy, this sounds like the start of a PLAN!
I'm always down for a run to the Tri-Cities to see Roger and Teri @RocketRoger .
Perhaps get @Bob R to ride down there as well.
Let me know when your plans are secure and I'll post something on the Rocket Owners Northwest thread.

A beautiful thought Jack!. I like my beer thick, the kind one must chew before swallowing. Sometimes cutting it with Rum helps...

I got rum Boog, & I cut the beer with malt,& I got spoons to eat it with. How am I doin?

@Boog @captain jack
This is sounding better and better as I happen to enjoy COLD Guinness!
Sadly we are separated by WAY TOO MANY miles!
Perhaps RAA XI this summer???

Well bull, I think one day I'm gonna have to make the trip, & when I do I want loads of help in getting around.(BBQ's too) Oh yeh, beer too.

I've got you covered should you drift through the New Jersey/New York metropolitan area, captain jack!

You come to the Northwest area and I shall indeed toss out the red carpet!

Humans are wired to fixate on a target, thats how our ancestors could (and still can, sorry creationists) swing through the trees at break-neck speed. We would chase a target (the next branch to grab) but not at the speeds that exist on a motorcycle but the principle is still the same.
Everyday I ride into my forecourt and have to roll the bike around 180 degrees in a very tight space, about as tight as it gets on a Rocket with the feet up. When I was trained we would turn the head almost over the shoulder to fixate on the end on the turn (actually the instructor said look at the sky as a means of emphasizing to not look at anything), not the bits in between. If I lapse my target fix and look at the concrete pillar that I am trying to avoid I almost always miss the full turn as a result. I think the hard thing is to trust our brains ability to micro-mange all the input, balance etc required to achieve the outcome.

Well whichever side of the US I begin or end, I seem to be covered by TriumPhill & 1olbull, I wonder how many could guide my between the two? I really would love to do the trip, never know, one day I may rock up.

 

[TriumPhil]

... and if or when you do, we'll be at the ready to roll out the red carpet, Captain.

Dallas, Texas is covered if you come this way.
