Well, I don't know what to tell you. I try not to do that.

Come on OP... where is the rebel in you? Can't you just ride fast across the border?

Canada sounds cool to me... wouldn't take a whole lot to convince me to do that.

I guess in this age of computer checks, they can find anything out. So you can't go to Canada at all? May be you can ride b!tch and we'll tow your bike and then you can get on your bike after we get in country.

I could ride fast across the border like Billy the Kid but I don't think I could outrun the hail of gunfire that would most likely follow. People get paranoid these days. Although I am sure that our northern border guards are not nearly as trigger happy as those along the Mexican border.

Oh well. I wonder if we stop people coming into this country if they have had a DWI?

Count me in for next year's rally. Doesn't matter much where either....... except I don't want to go where there is a huge rally as it would be tough to get a hotel room or even a place to park.

And breakfast has to have BiscuitsNGravy.

BnG; just noticed the pic in your post with the Nomad next to what looks like old (and rusted) auto bodies from many years past. Just think... there was a day someone bought those cars when they were brand-new on a dealer's showroom floor and you know they were proud of them... if not even nervous about the cost.

Kind of sad to see that time was long ago... and who knows the history of those cars. If only they could talk... might be an interesting story.

Who knows... someday the "ole" Nomad may end-up in the background of another person's picture of their "newer" bike. If that happens... you better hope the Nomad can't talk!!!

I hope not just biscuits and gravy. Some fried eggs, rashers of bacon, sausage and potatoes. Johnny cakes with real maple syrup would round it out.

I would have said johnny cakes but I didn't want to sound like a pig. I figured my list was long enough.

I am really just happy if they don't over cook the eggs.

Having grown up in the east, English style/New England breakfasts were the norm. I wouldn't consider you a pig at all. A man's gotta eat.
