Weekend
Took what will probably be the last ride on my ’73 650, following my new ’81.
I wanted to get some more work done on the 160 today. I’ve been hitting random aluminum parts with the buffer during spare moments in the garage, but nothing major. However, today was the first really cold day of the year. Maybe it’s winter now, I don’t know, but it’s fucking cold and I didn’t do a damn thing.
Grocery Shopping
With my Jeep’s transmission on the fritz, groceries have been reduced to the bare essentials.
Hot Springs Trip
Hot springs strip to an ‘undisclosed’ location on the Salmon river pretty close to the River of No Return wilderness. First stumbled upon in 2004, used my brain to get back 6 years later and ran into a Dee Synder look-a-like at the gas station. Made this trip with a clan in the bus. Of course the VW felt right at home and the terrain was no problem. As usual the Waters of Enlightenment were plenty and much was learned and seen.
That tarp and rock shack is a backwoods steam room in which the water comes out damn near boiling, flowing under your ass, then mixes with the creek. It’s in Panther Hot Springs if you want some info on it.
Rockers Reunion Pics
Thanks to Chad, Bee, Fritz, and the rest of Ace Motorcycle and Scooter for putting on a great show – we had a blast despite the weather. Stay tuned for Justin’s pics.

I voted for this '74 IronHead in the "Best Modern American" category... there were no modern American bikes at the show so it won. Ha!
Another Vino with a windshield? Get real.
Mother’s Day
Rode the K1 out the the ‘burbs and washed it in the yard while mom did some gardening. Also found some killer vintage BlueBlockers at a swap meet (along with some random tools, etc). Great day.
