Thought it was gonna be a labor day clearing big limbs last storm dropped all around with reward of remaining responsible leisure time to grease Trixie's slides to know for sure that was the non idle worsening issue... then my S.O. and I heard what first thought was distance thunder but then no not on this clear hot day, so 2nd though was the pot hunting choppers, but no it wasn't as constant and fades away, hm, must be heavy truck in the distance struggling with THE Gravel, then Wes appears at our sliding doors, me still in pajamas. One of the 1st things mentioned was are all women in a bad mood on purpose?
Hot Dog! Irresponsible leisure time at hand!
A quick once over by video oh oh... also found master cylinder leaking after renewed outer seal for INOA rally, ugh. Topped off stuffed paper in area - done.
Discussing if a C'do could handle Colorado Mt's paths that Wes just got back from playing on a 100cc Honda he said he trails so steep washed out etc and scale of landscape he didn't go as far as intended afraid he'd crash down a ravine and never be heard from again.

While the anadamides levels rose - Wes lapsed into his hillbilly Curmudgeon manner...

Wes's took a fun way down to tap my overhead tank's motor feeding tit.

We took Race Track Road 221 then Rock House Road to flow into Eureka Springs.

Wes was leading as Trixie was scaring me on handling, felt like the power steering fluid was too thin for her factory forks so they bounced a leaned C-do like too small a car would front to back. On Rock House had a close encounter of the Harley bagger kind. Its a low traffic tight narrow path and they go lazy or scared and two of them crossed mid way into my inside lane mid apex, but my habit to hug the edge paid off again as nil time to react. Wes told me a Chipmunk almost got it while dancing a switch back jig in front of his '71. He felt something and asked me if I saw a fur ball, "nope just that fresh cracked armadillo speed bump, so must of only been its tail or a paw".

Decor on wall inside just to put us American deer dodger in our place.
Eureka we made it to Basin Spring a hippy hang out and focal point of main streets. Road built up a full story so there's underground city too and Mud Street is just a quaint old name.

Just another of so many others I randomly thought of yo'all at, in time.
One lane bridge and elbow
One lane swing bridge that was almost weirdest surface I've crossed, beams worn mostly arched but randomly as their wood grains, I swear I though I'd picked up a splinter for a flat in front.

A good spot with shade for the camera man, as I tippy toed the dusty off canter bridge chicane. Still had a jerky jarry fork twitch tire hop sense yet.

Dang non return to idle meant I had to stay on brakes not to just zoom right into the lens, as slow as it seems I was working to keep it that way thank you. Slowest I could go in 4th no throttle was 35 mph. ugh downshifs didn't slow to but 30 on the level.

Shadows getting long, temps cooling so deer moving we hit fuel tit for 3r time then made like horse shit to hit the trail home. Wes also reminded me that his '71 was doing exactly same thing Trixie was with clapped out Amals, till he put on Miki carb, which I've run on both my Combat just fine but don't want to any more.
At start of the day I told Wes his ride was the crappiest I've tried, which he teased me on every stop he had to wait up on me, which meant mine was even worse, so bad I told him if I'd put that much into Trixie and she was that nasty I was selling her as not having much fun vs work to exceed parade speed in turns.
So we checked my air to find 20 rear 18 front, ugh mud and wash out crossing after storms duh. Wes had 28f/30r so I did 27f/29r and lit out on North most steeper part of The Pig Trail. Google generic map of hwy 23.

Well what do ya know, I was about riding on flats sheeze. I got my jollys off flying carpeting back to the barn, so good again I didn't take short cut home but lead or rather waited on side for Wes to catch up the long soothing smooth pavement way, then I hit THE Grit and made - this time.
OOOOOHHUUU, it was almost dark when I hit pasture and hi beam revealed deer hides to hunt, HOT DAnG- with new pleasing handling sense I roared right off the path and straight at em like Lighting McQueen on a mission, they couldn't believe it at first and only reflexly turned to run back - I almost clipped them so they upped the pace for 80 yds till 3 of escaped over the fence but they'd blocked
that gap to a 4th one which ran back ahead of me so I REALLY SNORTON'd that one a jolt of adrenalin to see its muscles bulging that are 4'x's denser than a horse > exploded in terror to 45ish as Trixie pasted 50ish just as it found a hole to shoot through as I shot by. HOT DANGITY DOGGIE DOOOOOOO, they are imprinted now by Combat on the prowl and hang tight of flee when ever it thunders in the distance or helicopter nearing or just me coming home with a glint in me eye. Main danger to avoid is not to run right over them as once they get opened up they are corner cripples.
Here's Trixie in moon light before I put her up warm and wet.

Whoa, I'm jealous Steve, what a cool ride !!! You and Wes are so lucky. Workin' 12 on and 12 off has reduced my Commando ridin' cosiderably though. Did manage to ride 10 miles before work time ... just to combat wet-sumping and get the rust off the front disc. (left the bike oustide last night ... and of course it rained like a typhoon then ... )

Glad to share the road glow. We suffered record rains and heat last two months too. Wes leaves about dawn and don't get back till about 5:30 or 6 pm M>F. I can never predict if I'm going to work one day to the next, living on faith and word of mouth. Not complaining, just not much slack for irresponsible stuff. Last I rode was 2 summers ago when goat took out SV650, which is still untouched but gave up battery for Trixie to live again after dead 4 years d/trod bolt failure at lazy 50 mph sightseeing loads. I'm considered a nut case by many and they are right, up to a point, like that pilot that kept crashing in "Catch 22", just practicing for my escapes... no one wanted to fly with him either : )
Trixie is just girl next door entertainment to me its Ms Peel I'm saving up for orgasmic adventures to come.

Be careful GRM, Hotbots a hillbilly. Yonder is a bit that way a country mile or so!! I am going to have to get to west Arkansas and ride with you sometime Hotbot. All my family lives around Mountain Home, AR where I was born. Now just a Mississippi redneck with one leg too short to remind me of where I was raised!!! Maybe I can put a milk crate on the back of my bike and help you run some shine!!! LOL

GRM, Wes's home is 8 miles up Bernie Mt. form my office in Kingston, but 20 more miles away from my Norton home base. It takes about as much time to get up/down the Mt. as it does to go from our village square to my place, so almost of an hour for Wes to reach my homestead.
Warped, my legs are pretty even having been raised up in Miami Fla. then 25 yr Houston Tex. so once i got to Ozarks where anything level has a roof over it, I tend to stand at a slant instead of full upright like the natives do, until they match my list with a good snort or 3 of the Ozarks un-taxed Kickapoo Joy Juice. Mt. Home is most of 2 hr ride away for Wes and me. I do want to spend some quality time there in fall as I'm told they've a decades long tradition of various musicians playing all day and night on the square. There's also a fair crop of funny weed too, if the choppers or snoops don't find it first. i never thought I'd have so much fun and adventure just in day to day life till I got my self here. Wes and I talk all the time about having a riding party with others for a weekend or so. Let's get er done before we go. Goggle Dr. Shiver Kingston to get phone # or just email ping sometime and see if we can hook up for the treats of Dixieland.

I need to get up there soon since that is where all my family is! I have an uncle that plays with the Monkey Run Boys if you ever get up there to hear some good music, I love to go over to his house with his wife and all their kids and friends playing some old backwoods tunes and a little gospel to boot. There is plenty of wacky weed from what I hear up there, grows close to all the still in the back 40 where they make rocket fuel. About a 7 hour ride in a car so add a few more hours to stop and fill a roadster and re hydrate along with a few cigs to help the breathing! Once past Hoxie, Ar the bluffs start poking out of the ground and the fun roads begin, would love to ride them!! Hillbillies are a different breed and a heck of a lot of fun to be around! I know when I would go visit one of my 7 uncles most of the time his two boys would come out of the woods buck naked and covered in mud and chiggers. Or we would be on the White Buffalo river catching rainbow trout and cooling off yellow meat watermelons in the river to go with our dinner of daily catch and pickled something or other from the garden. I do miss it up there where the water is clear and always something going on, in Mississippi we have what they call lakes which resemble to me muddy puddles that are nothing more than a haven for snakes and catfish that would eat you for a snack.
Maybe one day I can get up there and may have to trailer queen the Norton since I would have to bring the wife and rug rats and maybe break away for some quality twistie time.

Gosh what purdy word pictures you paint. I grew up in Fla. when it was similar farm family folk using dogs to catch hogs and frying up the catfish and hush puppies in pans made of big implement disc under Live oaks with Spanish moss. I could not believe what most the rest of the south calls a lake, low mucky bogs to me too.
There's too much ordinary terrain to cover to bother using up self and Norton. I got a trailer and fixed it up for INOA rally so I can trailer like a wise old fart me and Wes's bikes to various events then haul ass back. Ain't had any 'shine in coons age because distillers either died off, got too old or arrested. Thank goodness its a basic Dixieland life style to see what we can suck out of life while we can. Running naked in the wood as chigger food, what a life time memory, wild as the hogs.
