     I know I am not the only one who has weird or unusual thoughts that pop in their heads while out for a putt, so lets start a new game.  Radom thoughts that have popped in my head:

    1)I wonder where that road goes?

    2) I love the smell of fresh mowed grass.

    3) only my I Pod can go from Black Sabbath to Beethoven.

    4) The sun feels great on my back.

    5) the sun is hot on my back.  (sometimes these last two are seconds apart)

    6) Did I close the garage door?

    7) Did I lock the front door?

    8) Why do they keep straightening my favorite roads?... : (

    9) Why as someone who loves the curves, live in a land that is so flat and straight?  

    Feel free to add your own, ride safe.

    Back in early Jan of '73 I was returning from Christmas leave riding from Houston, Texas to Ft. Lee, Va. Going through Alabama I was paralleling a railroad track that was about 400 meters off the highway and I was slowly passing a really long freight train.

    As I rode along Arlo Guthrie singing "City of New Orleans" popped into my head and to this day when riding on a long straight stretch ole Arlo is still singing in the background.

    I have a recurring ? thought while driving,what is it about riding that draws me in so completely and makes me feel at one with my surroundings,and why when I get off after a good long ride I feel both relieved and yet reluctant to leave the saddle?

    Heck, my problem is the random thoughts unknowingly pop out. Like sitting at a light and a "fine piece of womanhood" walks by and she hears those thoughts.

    While in traffic I contemplate "which one of these folks are going to do something that will injure or kill me?"
    On the open road my mind does sometime wander.

    Rex: that is a good one and I have come to a sliding stop to check a few out.

    Rev: that is not random that is always on my mind but a thought that might and I think has keep me alive.

    Blurplebuzz, I have always said that riding is my Zen, the only thing that truly gives me peace.

    And for a few more:

    If I was to keep going how soon before some one notice I never came home?

    If only I could find someone to pay me to ride my motorcycles.

    (on the New Old Girl) did I cancel the turn signal?

    I experience seemingly off the wall, random thoughts all the time.
    1. Did I lock the back door?
    2. Did I turn the water heater temp down?
    3. Does Mom and Dad know how happy I've become (RIP)?
    4. Will our dog be alright in the kennel?
    5. Zen? I can feel my Gypsy smiling and wishing this ride would last forever.
    6. If only............

    Peace

    WHY do I still wanna HURT the dumbazz driver in front of me?
    WHY do the red light's in FLORIDA seem like the longest dang things ... EVER?
    WHY can't I give up diet coke, or smokes???

    WHY is me havin' a beer after a hard day a SIN to so many ... OTHERS?

    AND..why, DIGAF, about any of this? lol

    Once a biker, always a biker. GOD, IS A HUGE BONUS!!!

    Don't look at me any different, just cause my sin is.

    We're all the same. All of us. I ain't HOLIER, and you ain't a bigger sinner.
    SO, can we just go back to bein' US?

    Thanks for adding people:

    If I retire what would I do to keep out of trouble?

    Where is the curviest road in America?

    Where is the curviest road in the world?

    How many motorcycles does it take to make a collection?

    Why will the insurance company not discount my motorcycle insurance when I can only ride one at a time???


    Jimmy: What if??? is the biggiest question I have ever pondered!

    Wow my sense of smell comes back over 40 mph.

    Oh shiny object, a new road or place to eat.

    How low can I run this tank of gas down and not run out.

    Do I have to go straight home? He!! no time to ride somewhere.

    "Wow, hard to believe I rode 30 years without a windshield". Random thoughts of an old dude.

    Peace

     why is the throttle on the right?  Don't they know that most of us shoot right handed? Just kiddin', guys. Altho I used to practice doing that a bit, with a .22, when I was a kid. I hit a hedge apple, went down, fired 3 unintentional shots on the way down (.22 autoloader, safety is on the "wrong" side for left handed firing).  So that was the end of the "mounted" firing-practice.

    Why can't I just ride?

    Thinkin' wind therapy would be waaaaay cheaper. *(not that I can afford the other kind...either)

    Am I the only one dissatisfied with EVERYTHING?

    Why does gettin' "on" in years, scare the crap outta me?

    Random thoughts (more like questions) from the ol' lady who used to be proud to be called that.

    Hey...before anyone comments that this sounds more like WHINING. I admit it. IT IS. lol

    When is it I can get my bike back on the road?

    When can I get a bigger bike?

    Why are there so many Idiot cagers on the road?

    Why can't I have a drink or two I'm an adult?

    I feel ya, Tweek. In time it sucks not having a bike.

    Well when it is hot and I am riding, I ALWAYS think about how I would love to stick my feet in the water. So I look for water EVERYWHERE!!

    DebraJo: I have "summer roads" they follow rivers and streams to help keep the heat down. Right now most of them are flooded. And they are the few around here with curves..
