Here is the road that gives you 54 mpg Hawk. How fast do you think you could get going on this road??? endless.... Niy; zzz9(fingers were on the wrong keys darn it).. But, remember Hawk, on State Route 447, I only get in the mid to high 20's if I am lucky!!! From Nixon to Empire it is 60 miles. I can not go from Nixon to Empire and back to Nixon on a full tank! I have gotten as low as 22 mpg on that road!!!
My cousin called me when I was in Nixon. He was in Empire and asked if I wanted to have lunch with him in Gerlach (62 miles from Nixon) at Bruno's. I said, "Sure, be there in 30 minutes." He said, "I'll see you in an hour!" I was there in 29 minutes!!! These Canes fly when you push them.

Joe ...your right wrist suffers from the same irritation as mine by the sounds of it mate
a cop once told me there was a cure for it .... his answer was 6 mths in a little room with tiny windows ... but as he said , with my attitude , , it would prolly have full 3 meals room delivery service thrown in at no extra charge.... sounded like a good deal to me?? ... LOLFuel consumption = what frame of mind I am in "X" road conditions "+" how far the next gas station is , divided by how hard Kerri can thump me whilst being blown off the back :-) ...
As a rule it usuallly = not much!!! ....

Small little room
Thought you went fishing. Missed you for the couple of hours you were away... 24/7
Sometimes that small little room seems like a nice place to be. I would make sure that I bite the officer so that I would get put in a solitary room by myself. I would sit and think of the Tao Te Ching and think about what Lao Tzu would say, "A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." I think Lao Baby had a Cane back then!!!
Before I got the TL1000S and the CBR1000F, I use to like just cruising at 60 mph singing Country Western songs in my head, with my lower back compressing into a mushroom shaped bone structure. Something in these sports bikes brang out the animal in me.
Now I sing "Born to be Wild" and lay on the tank in a decompression state of existance! The problem is, I want more speed than 150 mph and when I get that higher speed bike, I will want more speed... I guess old SwisherRed would call me a Lesbian Nympho on a bike with designer Stilettos!!! I want it all baby!!

Hard long days
Steve, I feel for you brother. Being a plumber, you probably have to put up with a lot of sh.t now and then. I know when I did plumbing in the wineries, I had days were the lady's monthly disposables clogged the grinder pumps to the domestic sump systems. Now those were sh.tty days my friend.
Hey Red, of course you're killing me with the laying down stuff! And to think, I left myself wide open for that one! As my brother use to say, "Well b.tt f.ck a fat gal, dip me in chocolate and throw me to the Lesbians"!!!

Dirty job
Steve, I liked plumbing. At Sutter Home Winery, I put in over a mile of new copper piping to a new tank farm. Put in 200 new SS wine tanks and ran copper pipe to the tanks. 2" and above.
Clean, new work is fun, but getting dirty is what plumbing is all about. When we had to power jet out the latteral lines in the domestic waste water mounds, my buddy Tom would eat his cheese sandwich every time! Now talk about one sick puppy, Tommy boy was the cream of the crop! Old Tommy boy's breath could knock a Buzzard off a Sh.twagon!!!
Hang in there Steve. The weekend is coming soon....

Giving her her head
Shadow, I did not do the calcs. I know I had to slow down threw Nixon and threw Empire. Those two places are the only choke points to Gerlach.
So, you want me to paint a full picture. Me on my Old Lady CBR laying on the tank, wearing my leapord skin thong, designer stilettos, Penlopy Pitstop pink scarf flying in the wind, blitzing through the desert at a 125 calculated mph, singing at the top of my lungs some abstract Boy George song, while looking like a Wild Nympho Lesbian drooling over the thought of jagermeister and a Red Headed **** (that part's for you Red)!.....
Good morning Steve, did that picture wake your **** up!!! Kind of hit you like Manfred Mann's lyrics "Blinded by the Light!" The light being my clothless **** in the sun with only that little itty, bitty cloth piece seperating my cheeks! OMG!
Oh yah, of course safety first, so I would be wearing my yellow ICON helmet....
Come to think of it, I think I dressed like that at the last Burning Man event out there in the Black Rock Desert!
