So How long did that take?

Just over 12 hours. Had to stop for fuel more frequently than I originally thought. The hills of north Florida and southern Mississippi really played havoc on my fuel economy.

How’s Singapore, Donny? What you there for?

Ok, it's a real trip because it's more in line with what you would like to do? And how does riding a motorcycle equate to being a redneck?

Post by **xer0s** » Tue Oct 30, 2018 4:15 am

Well yeah, it actually is more in line with me. But really it has more to do with Gramps being a dull piece of shit...

Its not my first time so its as expected; clean, hot and expensive

Its a brilliant place; lots to see and do. Diwali is next Tuesday so I will try and get some pictures. Off to Universal for some rides tomorrow then might be hitting up Atlas bar in the evening.

Other things planned include gardens by the bay, drinks at the Skypark (on top of the Marina Bay Sands), a trip to Raffles, China Town and Little India...a few other bits and bobs too.

I cut my trip short due to poor weather forecasts for the south eastern united states. Forecasts call for rain Wednesday, all day Thursday and all day Friday. Not wanting to get caught in the cold rain, I decided to ride straight home from Nashville today. I made it 800 miles in just under 12 hours.

Total miles for the last 4 days across 7 states.

The mountains in Tennessee were a fun ride. Nothing like the open road.

Queer0s is eternally butt hurt. I'm sure my trip to the Dominican in December will suck too when I post about it.

Post by **xer0s** » Wed Oct 31, 2018 3:54 am

Well, you definitely called that one. The Dominican is where all the slack jawed snoozers go for a cheap all inclusive. Have fun

Go on a real trip ffs...

Edit:

Here ya go, Dominican at the top of the list for cheapest all-inclusives. Good choice Gramps...

Speaking of trips, the wife and I are trying to decide where to go in the Spring. Since we hit Borneo last go round, we’re thinking maybe Europe. I’m wanting Iceland, but it’s still up in the air...

Gonna try to get up to Seattle in a few weeks to hit Olympic and Mt. Rainier National Parks...

Is Gramps too poor to go on real trips? What's the story?...

Post by **Κracus** » Thu Nov 01, 2018 7:02 pm

He has the balls to take them on a motorbike.

In August my son and I went on a 6 day trip to Philly, NYC, Atlantic City and Baltimore via plane and multiple Amtrak, and stayed at the Bellevue by Hyatt in down town Philly.

I just got back from a planned 8 day ride through 9 states, cut short to 4 days and 7 states due to rain.

In December the wife and I will be going to the Dominican for 5 days where we'll be staying at the 4.5/5 star Hard Rock resort.

I'm not "rich". But I'm doing okay.

That got out faster than you can say "triggered"

Post by **YourGrandpa** » Thu Nov 01, 2018 9:09 pm

The presentation of reality = triggered.

Whoa! You flew on a plane?!? Too cool!!

High roller!

Someone quote my Dominican post so Gramps can see it. Ignoring posts is so fucking stupid. No greater evidence of being gotten to...

I hope the irony of Geoff calling out someone elses trips for not beling real "real trips" wasn't lost...

By the way, if anyone is in NYC from December 15th to 19th and fancies a pint, let me know

Do you have a specific time in the video you're referring to? Maybe I'm adjusting the camera, avoiding pot holes/man holes/road debris, being pushed by wind off the mountains/tractor trailers or just having fun.

edit: Since you mentioned it, I paid particular attention on today's rides. I noticed a couple of things. Whenever I drop one hand from the handle bars I tend to lean a bit in that direction. This causes the bike to veer slightly the same way. I also think my aftermarket wind screen is responsible for gradually pushing my motorcycle to the left at speed. I never really noticed this until today. I just made the minor adjustment while riding.
