Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

[MacDoc]

Finally got out for a ride. Gorgeous day. How did I ever do 750 KM a day for a week when I was 70.
50 km and I'm seriously hoping the drugs kick in for the ride home.

They did but I was still very tired and sore. Early bedtime and source word paid off..then some luck

Four out five letters on the hop.....a gimme !

Set up for a ride on Thursday with buddy on Aprilla. Glad he got Canada when he did ...we had fun doing Skyline Drive on my fourth Vstrom 650.


Latest idiocy from the US …
Would have cost us $180 US each to drive that ….and they wonder why tourism is down 30%

Collected a free protein dense burger double burger with bacon ...and of course I ordered a couple of Hash Browns for $1.50 each to go with.
Ozempic may have been snoozing since I was due a shot yesterday.
That burger was a little over the top.

Tried the new helmet with earplugs and of course it is very quiet that way. Had misplaced the IEMs but they were found.
Sold a suitcase for $90 so with a few other sales had enough to get the new sprockets and chain ordered. Dealer sez will be installed before the holiday break. It's really my only concern with the bike and I can hear the chain when backing up....some kinks I think.
The CB500F burns no oil and tire pressure stays up tho the front drifts down a bit. Don't care about the steering bearings unless a sale comes along.
Starts immediately every time.

Tried a couple layers of padded shorts today hoping to stay comfortable on a longer ride tomorrow.
