... and women go for ice cream and chocolate runs! :-D :-D :razz:

Having a sh*tty day, was getting no work done, and was out of chocolate. So I went for a quick run to the store - That Bonnie had already put a smile on my face and I was feeling 10x better before I was even halfway there. Love riding that bike!

Short rides on the Bonnie + chocolate + coconut sorbet = :-) :-)



Now if I could only get the Bonnie to write me a 15 page essay on postmodern art...

It really is the simple things in life isn't it? I HATED writting papers in college. Glad that's over, I only wish I could ditch work like I did class!

The guys I ride with and I don't mix riding and alcohol. Just not a good combo. I enjoy a cold beer as much as anyone but I can wait until I park it. But bars always seem to have a line of Harleys parked out front.

+1 on the not mixing alcohol and bikes.

What about sugar highs and bikes? That's probably okay :-D

A few riding rules I live by;

1. No alcohol, no exceptions.
2. I don't ride when I'm exhausted
3. I don't ride when my guardian angel tells me "I'm not in my groove" and am making careless mistakes. I ride home and park it.

This has kept me safe for 37 continuous riding years.

Could never understand drinking and riding. I love my weekend drink(s) but life in a wheel chair would seriously suck for a stupid mistake. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

Seems to be a male hormone driven/macho ego driven thing IMO.

Same thing with riding a Harley or a Big Dog chopper in general. :hihi:

Riding on a chocolate/sugar buzz would just make your survival senses more keen.

...but make it harder to write essays.

I think school/sugar highs are making me go crazy and post threads with no discernable topic - Sorry.

Blah, I need to get out more.
