The date for my first official all-day ride. Stacy and I took the bikes out at 10 yesterday morning and hit the road in search for dirt, sweat, gasoline and fried chicken. And we found them all. the north texas area has a lot of back roads, some twisty, some turny, most windy and dirty and even found one with some great chicken. talked to a cop, but didn't get busted. eating chicken in that county was legal, thank goodness. we ended up west of ft. worth at our furthest point and stopped at the stockyards for lunch. i'd never been to the stockyards, but it's a breeding ground for rednecks and bar-b-que. according to stacy, i've got some redneck in me, so i can't get an ass-whoooping for that comment. we then stumbled back to north dallas and proceeded north to mckinney where we stopped at my roommate's parents and spent 30 minutes making fun of him. apparently, his twin is toying with the idea of getting a harley. mom was ok with that, but if my roommate so much as tries to spell the word motorcycle, my ass is in a sling. who knows. we ended the day around 8:30 last night where we collapsed on a hard floor only to feel the vibration for another 20 minutes. i'm pretty much cashed, but didn't waiver on taking the bike to work today. and i've already started having dreams about motorcycles.

oh, and i know this means nothing to any of you, except for two, but her name is Dobra.
