Yep, hit a "Curb" of new concrete, 4" lip, sharp edge of concrete when new pavement covers old black top and they forgot to place temp asphalt for a little ramp, a dozen cars had front blowouts. I hit at 39Mph because i was just throttling up coming on to the freeway. (Low speed Wobble) Sliced front tire in half, $12.5K to "Re-Fresh " ride. Likely the worst part was the wife was 6 car links behind me, never saw me go down, but drove up on it. She saw me, and a guy walking back to her saying "He's Alive" 5 Quote
minermark Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Morning gang Thursday eh? 47, Rain, projects. Told-ya they save all the "Better Looking" weather Chicks for prime time Tv. Taking the wife out to Breakfast, hobby lobby, See's, ABC Metals, Pub flyby. 3 Quote
babadono Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 ^ Roger that, its raining down here too. For the next 3 to 4 days so they say. Time for indoor projects once the weekend comes around. Have to take the better half to LAX Saturday morning, she's going to Peru to see/take care of MIL. MIL is now 95 and living with SIL which is a much better situation then trying to live by herself. Hoping the round trip to the airport is only 4 hours, wish me luck. 4 Quote

She gets a trip to Peru which means you should get a trip to Hope. 3 Quote

Not a good feeling when you know you're going down while on a bike. Been there, twice. Neither one my fault. Between my two street bike wrecks....2 totaled bikes, 3 totaled cars. One of my brothers was always amazed that I would spend $600 on a helmet. 5 Quote

CECAA850 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I guess Chuck still hasn't figured out the quote function. We'll have to send him back to the remedial forum for a week or two for a refresher. We'll keep your thread alive in your absence! 3 Quote

I just ask the wife, Redding outing?, local concert, Chef @ the local Irish Pub, stay @ the local casino for $50 a night. Yep, this is a good thought. 7 Quote
mungkiman Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Today was the first easy commute after 8 days of icy roads in Portland. Since 2 white knuckled hands on the wheel were no longer needed, people seemed to revel in the opportunity for even more flagrant honking and gesticulation... 4 Quote
