Mexico, via Red Oak

Whys that? That motorcycle is going to get stopped up or gumbed up only
going that close.

You saw that on the news also.. huh ? Rest easy.. we'll leave Irving, go
directly through Ft.Worth and hit IH 35 south.. bypassing Red Oak..

Better hitch up and go with us, Gary..

 

Grapevine and Irving are my limit. <g>

 

Well, I keep it regularly, and sufficiently "spanked". <g>

Besides, as my testosterone levels decrease, so does my
distance and speed. Pretty soon I'll be limited to just
goin' around the block. <g>

Hey, I was in at Lamb's recently, getting a headlight bulb.
Shuffled over to look at the wall lined with Gold Wings.

Those things have got buttons, switches, GPS, Sonar,
ADF, ILS, Radar(visual), MTV, closed circuit, and a
few other enhancements that I either didn't see, or didn't
recognize.

I know they don't feel as big as they look, but I just can't
get a grip on the size. I guess they must ride pretty smooth
or they'd slosh out all the swimmin' pool water. <g>

I also talked with a guy at NW Keller's a week ago. He
was riding a '06 Ural. I'd never personally seen one of
these, but I thought it was a BMW. It's got a kickstart,
in addition to electric. And, it also has a reverse. But, it's
not one of those electric reverses, it's driven out of the
gearbox. So, unlike the electric reverse, one could prob-
ably run this bike up to 40mph in reverse.

Now that's handy! <g>

lol.. It's funny, but you can see everything in the world, if
you spend enough time in that drive in.. Holy moley.. I don't
think I've ever seen one of those things and if I did, I didn't
recognize it.

I've often claimed that I have ridden with just about every-
thing that's on two wheels, but that Ural thing is completely
out of my range.. Ah well.. live and learn..

It wasn't something I'd be interested it, but he seemed
happy with it. I can say that when he cranked it up, one
of the few "gawkers" asked if his kickstart was still
engaged.

You may recall the noise(s) that could come from an
engine with a kickstart not fully disengaged. But, this
twin cylinder, horizontally opposed engine, had a lot
of valve train type noise.

He also made no excuses for buying the bike based on
the fact that it was cheap(relatively speaking, I guess).

And here's the model he had: (The Wolf)

Additionally, regarding that Ural site, take a look at these
animated cartoons there. I thought they were somewhat funny.

have it. But there's a button to take you there.

I know one thang, there's a lotta ''Ugly Named'' Motorsikels, and Ural
is certainly one ot 'em. Actually, to me, it takes first place in that
category.
And made by Russians, did I hear right??? If I never lay my
eyes on one, I dont give 'uh dang.

Hail', I havent even seen no' BlackBird Bike yet. And it is a gawldern
US Honda.
