     Woke up this morning saw the fog,

    went out and kicked the dog,

    came on to Facebook,

    just to have a look,

    but now here comes the sun,

    time for the bike and a little fun,

    don't mean to be be nasty or rude,

    but I'll see ya much latter dude!

    Five of us struck out for West Kerry this morning , 40 degrees and sunny, had a big breakfast in KIllarney then on to Dingle ...next stop after Dingle is Newfoundland, few beers there and home again this afternoon. Wee bit cold but sunny and dry..180 miles of winding twisty roads. If you've got crap in your head the roads out to Dingle will clear it, one lapse of concentration and you meet the ditch. the five of us have been riding together for 20 years and we never let more than a few yards between us, great feeling when you can trust guys like this, knowing what he is going to do by just a look or a small shrug.a ride like this not only blows away the cobwebs but takes the demons too.

    I just back from riding on the Islands of the Caribbean and there is a foot of snow in front of my garage along with a 2 foot pyramid of ice in front of the doors that we had to jackhammer off before we could unload the bikes!
    I wanna go back to the Islands!

    You got caught in a rainstorm...and you have to wash the bike......i would have considered that a lucky break, save me washing it.
