Velvet Butt - Saturday through Thursday

[bigjohnsd]

Retirement "job" is moving vehicles around the country for a car dealership.

Flying to Miami tomorrom morning, picking up a Lexus RS350 SUV and taking it to Phoenix, picking up a 2014 Mustang Convertible and bringing it home. I 10 across the south in the Lexus, I'll have to find a way around or through the fires in Northern Arizona on my way through Pueblo CO to see my old Sales Manager who just bought a Polaris/KTM/Ural dealership in West Pueblo.

Expect to get home late Thursday. 3600 miles.

Looking for FJR's along the way.

I suppose to get that job, they don't like to see a bunch of speeding tickets?

 

[majicmaker]

No speeding tickets will be a deal breaker for me!

Velvet-Butt.

Me Likey, Being a Candy Butt and All!

I have not yet had a ticket while shuttling cars about.

I set the cruise at 5 mph over and am generally ignored.

Have had a few "personal tickets" over the years, none on the bike though, not that I haven't deserved a few there as well.

That damn FZ1 almost got me suspended.

 

[Abercrombie FJR]

I know what you mean about the FZ1. Its not the right bike in my wrong hands.

Your velvet but ride foiled my plans. I was thinking about swinging through Spearfish to say hi and check out the location of next Junes ride on my way through en route to SW-FOG in Silver City Wednesday.

 

[bigjohnsd]

Stop on your way home?

 

[Abercrombie FJR]

Stop on your way home?

I do not have a return route planned yet but swinging through the Black Hills on the way home sounds like a great idea.

 

[bigjohnsd]

Pm me your time frame, I should be home May 30 - June 7 unless SWMBO has something planned I am unaware of.

Saw 3 FJR's on the Road today, all in Florida:

A blue one South Bound on I75 north of Gainesville,

A black one East Bound on I 10 West of Pensacola

A Red one West of Pensacola on I 10.

I think the Blue one had a yellow rain jacket or bag on the pillion.

Anyone recognize themselves?

West of Houston tonight after a late start in Gainesville due to a flat tire. Got lucky and found a Firestone store open on Sunday

873 miles in 11.5 hours of driving.
