Twisties Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Julie seems to have been pulling away. I sorta had the impression she was all business (hooning business) when we met in John Day. Link to comment
Mr_Yuk Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Julie seems to have been pulling away. I sorta had the impression she was all business (hooning business) when we met in John Day. Jan - I, er.., cough.., sputter, ahhhh, well maybe it looks that way, sort of. Actually, I am pretty sure that a cute little squirrel ran out on the road and I humanely slowed down so as not to scare it. Yes, I'm sure of it, I saved that cute little squirrel. And what about Julie and the squirrel? Did Julie try to save that little squirrel's psyche and not scare it to death? Noooo! Full speed ahead, man the torpedos. Non-motorcycle-riding women, children and little squirrels run for your lives! I don't think I let her lead anymore on that trip! Bah Humbug. Merry Christmas, sort of. Rod Link to comment

notacop Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I kept seeing brake lights flash...I need to do a tread inspection to see if all of it is being used. Nice view coming down the hill though. Link to comment

Mr_Yuk Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 I kept seeing brake lights flash... I have seen that before on other videos I have taken. It is not visible in real life. I don't know what that is from. She is not on the brakes and doesn't ride the brake. The actual brake lights are much more bright. I have wondered if maybe my headlight is catching her reflector, but I would think that I could see that with my eyes. Rod Link to comment
Quinn Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Is the squirrel related to the rabbit that caused Alton Brown (feasting on asphalt) to crash on Pikes Peak? --- Link to comment

I didn't come to a full stop and chat with him, I had a girl to catch, er.., try to catch. Rod Link to comment
