Washing Wanda

Yes I did!  In honor of her 26,000th mile.

The view to my south, at 5:50 p.m., CDT.

The view to my north at 5:50 p.m. CDT.

Now, you may speculate as to why I didn't ride to Nashville, tonight.  :)

... but the truth of it?  I could not get the effin' 12mm bolt on Wanda's gearbox drain to break loose. In fact, I ruined my Lifetime Warrantied HDX t-handled driver in the attempt, twisting the motherfathering plastic handle by more than 90° (and will get my refund later this week, as I'm no fookin' brute). Chinese shit, y'all. ALWAYS LOW PRICES.

Spotted: Andretti 50

Actually not supposed to be a bad Chinascoot. Stylish, for sure. I heard they had some fuel tank issues, didn't cover them all under warranty, and beat a hasty U.S. retreat after a class-action lawsuit.

Also saw a red Honda PCX heading towards me on Jefferson Pike on the work rounds this afternoon. So there's at least one other, out there in the area.

Beamer!

To its credit, it had two projector-lookin' headlights, as if it maybe had HID lighting.

Safari!

Yes!  A Safari 50cc 4-stroke!  Did not ask what they wanted for it.

Groovy floorboard, dood. Hang 10. And a foot-actuated rear brake!
