Motorcycle Days

Well I can't say I got a whole lot done today. I went over to mom and dads. Dad helped me do some rewireing on my motorcycle so I could move the licence plate from the sissy bar down to the fender. I took all the pieces off that were needed while dad got the wires ready to add. That didn't take too much and in no time I was putting things back together. After that dad and I just sat and talked for a few. I told him the story I heard from a passing motorist.... Two men were riding their motorcycles down the road when one mans coat zipper broke. So they pulled over, the man just turned his jacket around and they continued on. A while later the two men were in a horriable accident. When the first officer arrived he began checking for survivors. The second officer got to the accident and asked the first if there was anyone alive. The first officer said "when I got here only the one man was alive but he died when I turned his head around." Dad laughed pretty good at that one.

After I left dad's I went to L&G to get some webbing. Then the rest of the afternoon I spent figuring out a strapping system to take the dog with me on the motorcycle. After a great deal of thinking I thought I had come up with a pretty good idea. So I brought Tuff out and strapped him down.... Well I fired her up and all seemed well at first. I kept petting Tuffs head and telling him what a good boy he was being... All was going according to the way I wanted it so I got on the bike and reved the engin a little...... Oh boy was that where it all went wrong, Tuff managed to squirm his bottom off the seat and was hanging from the bike. So I turned her off and began to rethink how to strap him down. I had to try a few ideas befor I got it but I finnaly found one that worked! So I headed in and out of the house several times to test his ability to stay on the seat and then it was time to test it. We went around the block several times and then down a few more. After that I came back to the house, figured I best not press my luck too much and give Tuff a chance to get used to it befor we make the rides too long. But we made it though Tuffs first ride and I can't wait to take more!

Tata for now!
