'T'z Gettin'a Be'datt Time Again.
Took'a spin westward with Mama Java this afternoon (Hookey don'cha know.) 'n runnin' one'a my favored roadz, came upon the ol' OH $HIT!!!! scene: lotz'a flashin' ligntz, ambulancez, bluemen-mobilez all over'da place. 'Remainz'a some bike layin' up against the guardrail on'a outside've'a turn.
That'n'a leavez startin'a fall made me realize that I hadn't done my usual Smokey'da Bear on the evilz'a fallin' leavez'n whut they kin'doo'da traction tha'cha might be expectin'n needin'. Bikez're the biggest victimz, but when the fallen leaves ('specially dem wet ones) start puttin' a layer on'yer favorite corner'n you might be jus' pushin' Stewie (only'da properly make use'a yer investment a'course) jus' a wee bit 'cauze you've taken'iss corner a whole lot faster hundredz'a timez . . . that layer'a wet leavez'd be a helluva way'da get greeted when'yuh were expectin' yer ol' buddy traction. Temperance'n caution ladiez'n germz. 'Z my ol' favorite sergeant use'ta say: "Lett'z be careful out there."

'Didn't sex'da scene Joe.
'Don't know any incidentalz, jus' noted'n kept on keepin' on, y'know? As for femalez on bikez, da very few I know treat da whole affair with respect, but certainly not all'uv'em. If I hadda guess, I'd guess dat'da numbers'a death-wisherz izz'a same "per". Itt'z jus' that there'z considerably more guyz out there on bikez'n there are galz on bikez. But, fer'a fact testosterone figurez into'a lodd'uv'itt. 'N, in'iss day'n age'a the blurrin'a the line betwixt'da sexez . . . some'a deeze "ladiez"re carryin' more'n'eir fair share'a the stuff themselvez.

Hell Java, they are talking about highs in the 40's by the end of the week here in NC. I know those leaves or hell but summer tires below 40* or so don't work very well either.
Be careful out there winter is coming! Kevin |

Thanks for the heads up, JJ. With the recent rain here in CA, the mountain roads are full of slippery pine needles and oak leaves.
How many more days of falling leaves left in Joisey? |

N', even when it duzz, itt'z not alwayz'a problem. 'S'jus'att itt'z somethin' worthy'a rememberin' when yer out gettin' unwound in'a twistiez'iss time'a year. 'Certainly doubt that the biker'z problem wuzz leavez on the road surface. And yes isu: summer tirez doo work fine inta'da 50'z. 'Took'a liberty'da watch some'a yer videoz. When I die, I wanna come back'z'a tire salesman in your neck'a'da woodz.

haha why would you want to do that? Did you watch the video of us screwing around doing donuts and stuff? haha We used to eat up tires so bad it wasnt even funny. It was normal to destroy a brand new set in a month or less. Luckily I was awd and didnt have the suspension or frame to drift haha so I didnt worry about tires. We dont do that stuff much anymore, prolly because we dont have good safe places to do it.
