"I'd be riding today if...."

OK, this is sort of a game.Tell us why you're sitting there posting instead of out riding your Nomad. Extra points for the most creative reasons. I'll start:

"I'd be riding today if...."

...if I didn't have a stinkin' cold.
I've gone through about 300 kleenex this AM.

Hardly creative, but I'm bored and had to think of something to post. ;)

...if I didn't have work I have to get done on the yard and the house before the rain comes in tonight. Yuck!

Right now it's a maintenance day---both bikes and the ATV. It's 40 degrees, probably will go for a ride later today, maybe 55. I've planted 65 trees in the last week (long story) and I could use a ride.

... if I hadnt crashed on Wednesday

If it wasn't my weekend with my kids. But the bike needs a good washing anyway.
Hope your OK LW.

I felt like it. For some reason I just feel like taking it easy today and relaxing.
So far I think LW has the most sensible reason. Sorry LW ;)

If my wife didn't volunteer me for volunteer work for single moms, and then on the way home we saw a dog get hit by a car, the owner(of the dog) tried to catch the dog to get it to a vet and the dog bolted. By Coincidence we spotted the dog 5 miles away. We doubled back got the dog to stay with us, read the tag, called the owner. The owner came picked up the dog and now all is well.

D@mn sorry to hear that LW!

No need to get that creative you know.

caddman11 · 04-26-2008, 03:20 PM

I did get my ride in, short as it was. IMO the dog story and the lonely hearts club is the best story so far, two for one.

MarkG · 04-26-2008, 04:33 PM

Rode yesterday. Got up this morning, removed bugs, gunk & grime, then polished the bike. ::) Not fast enough, the wife thought we should go out for lunch. She eats slow, so 2.5hrs later I am finally back home. Waiting for her to decide what I should go to the store and get. ??? By the time I finally get home from that it will be too late. :-[

Since the bike is polished, fueled, etc., all I have to do tomorrow is get up and get gone.

I'll think of someplace to go for a while.

**ringadingh** · 04-26-2008, 04:39 PM

I worked in the backyard all day, raking, digging and moving a pile of heavy rocks. Im too damm tired now and Ive had a few beers, its easier than cooking.( my wife is away this weekend). Now its supposed to rain the next couple days.

ponch · 04-26-2008, 05:08 PM

Too windy, I had to spend time with a contractor and designer, and I had things to do.

rewindgy · 04-26-2008, 05:12 PM

Actuallly took the KLR out today! Back alley still got a ton of snow and a tiny bit of mud! But they claim its a gonna warn up now?

blowndodge · 04-26-2008, 05:13 PM

I rode 65 miles today and 40 last night!! It's 99 in the shade today. Got a little pinging but not near as bad as it was stock. So now I'm reported in CD !!!!!
