three hundred plus run

This afternoon i took the Not Yet A Chopper for a 300k loop along a mix of single and two lane roads. 
After washing off yesterday's roadwork mud she was still grubby but still performed like a Honda. Faultlessly! I ran the tank dry and switched to reserve without missing a beat. Cannot fault her one engine beat. 
Coming home westward bound, the setting sun played havoc with a bug smeared visor. Right on peak time for roos, but once again we dodged a bullet. 
ROOS & BIKES DONT MATCH

I did see a big Harley sidecar going the other way, I envied him running witj the sun behind and his improved capacity to biff a roo without falling over. I  wondered whether that would be a better bike anf decided that yes for that hour or so it would have been. But apparently those big Harleys get really bad fuel consumption. So once we rolled onto our fuel stop just after sunset I was very happy to be Hondering.

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
