Attended PGR mission in Parkersburg, WV today. The KIA was Special Operations Chief Nicholas “Nick” Null, 31. Battled rain on the way there. But, it cleared up for the services and was a nice ride home this evening.
Helped out with an information table today for The Patriot Guard Riders at an event at Cabela’s in Wheeling held by Boatsie’s Boxes to show appreciation for veterans and current military.
Saw one of these for sale the other day. It’s neat. It was the yellow/black version.
There’s a tornado watch here in the tri-state area this evening. It is very windy outside again.
I got the paper for the motorcycle and got the regular plate on it today. I have to back to get the title in the morning. It may have been ready before closing today, but they weren’t sure how long it would take. I haven’t gotten the vanity plate ordered yet. I’m still trying to figure out which one I want to try for. I was thinking I would try for the next in the series of my plate on my car. But, then had a couple of ideas for other ones. On a motorcycle, however, they can only be 6 characters.
I took the bike out the highway today. I discovered I don’t like the windshield. I think it’s too short and makes the wind buffet me in the eyes. I would probably like it if it was longer. But, as it stands, it took my glasses off my face several times. I like how the bike handles, so far. It seems like it handles a little easier on the highway than the smaller bike I’m used to. I’ll know more as I get a chance to ride it more…. which may not be until Spring now.
The weather forecast is for low 70’s and sunny on Friday. It will be a perfect day for riding my motorcycle. The only problem is that I don’t have the title work done. I called the previous owner and he will not get the paper notarized and mailed until at least Saturday. It stinks.
So…. sitting on a motorcycle for 30 miles one way to sit on a saddle to ride a horse…….. maybe that wasn’t such a bright idea after all.
