What I Did On My Day Off
I got back from a two day motorcycling trip today, staying at Penderwood’s the night. It was a good trip, except I wish my wife was with me to share the experience: it was fun. I took the back roads for most of the ride: less noise and traffic; more exciting turns, hills, and blind-spots; interesting things to see.
Here are some statistics from the trip:
- One person asked to buy my bike.
- Four people (not including the one above) stopped to admire and talk about the bike.
- A big-ass fly flew IN my helmet, buzzing millimeters from my eyes as it was trapped between my face in the visor.
- 99% of other riders waved.
- I travelled 628 km.
- I got an average of 17 km/Liter, 5.97 liters per 100 km, or 48 MPG.
- Average price per liter (premium gas) was $1.05.
- I burned 38 liters of gas.
Thanks to Pender and Carrie for allowing me to breath their air and buy good Lower Sackville food that markets itself as Chinese.
On your days off, I worked my ass off and got round the clock calls to do shit. Don’t ever take a day off again.
BTW, I have a 2 for one Large Donairs from Freddies. We gotta go this week as well as Kart racing. Coupons expire this month ya know. Oh, and my birthday is next week.
