I worked with people on the flood recovery yesterday until 6 pm - just dog tired from the heat. SWMBO and I double dated with my friend MikeP (versys) and his SWMBO. Mike informed me that they were going riding today with another friend Randy and his SWMBO, and wanted to know if we were interested in joining them.
Ms. Pants wasn't too crazy about it, but I talked her into it. We were also joined by Randy's son, who rides this AWESOME Honda 500X that I simply fell in love with. I didn't take but a few pictures, so it doesn't really qualify as a ride report.
Mike is really loving his big Versys. He's already got almost 1000 miles on it, and has been farkling away (it's a sickness, really).
SOQS is having fun. She made me turn around and go back home for her hat. Didn't want helmet hair in front of the other ladies.
Randy rides the big V-strom. Had the rims powder coated and they really pop.
It was just what the doctor ordered. We rode about 175 miles through the woods north of Lafayette, and also through some flooded areas (roads receded of course). The weather was overcast, and the temperature was actually tolerable while moving at highway speeds.
Took a nap this afternoon. I'm ready to get back to work tomorrow.
Stay thirsty, my friends.
