To follow up from last week
I will feel better later today once I get to the back-cracker and he shoves the last of the stuff into place. I had a fun time with the ladies from the cathouse and so did the Old Wench. We put a ticket into each bucket for the Chinese Auction and by pure chance I won 3 of the 4 that included booze. I got much picked on about that and enjoyed every moment of it.
Can-ams ---------- in a few years I may be looking for a good used one. I’ve ridden a couple and they are a lot easier to handle and more fun to drive than the usual trike or hack. Tons better than the old servi-cycles. My real issue right now with them are
- Parts – sometimes the wait for even simple things is a couple months.
- Dealerships – I have like 2 around me 160 miles apart. Long haul if your scoot is sick
- Mechanics – they have no real factory training system yet and the shop manual sucks. And because of the lower “circulation” no one is staying up nights to do a good private edition type thing so you can do your own work.
I have thoughts somewhere in the back of my brain of finding one with a blown motor and putting V-twin power inside the frame. I’ll have to do a lot of one-off but the end result could be worth it.
I remember him. Got friends like him as well and that’s part of the frustration. It’s hard to look at a dude missing an arm and a leg riding along and admit that you’re “caged” over back spasms. But mine is like a scoliosis with spasms and when that spasm hits ----- nothing works and my eyes do this most amazing crossing thing. I’ve had several compound fractures that haven’t hurt nearly as bad. But its hard to explain. Lets just say I got a lot more sympathy for Mario than I used to.
