"The Daytona and I were one bright, jubilant ball of mph."

I can't wait till I get the V-Strom back with a new tire and an operative headlight.  Can't wait.  It's going to be a few days because I foolishly did NOT make an appointment with the dealer BEFORE leaving for the 4th weekend.  I'm going through mild motorcycle deprivation already and I'm not even deprived of the motorcycle yet, and sneaking around as The Invisible Rider is getting really freaking old.

Oh b'the way, the leaking rear tire is a failed plug.  That particular plug was a gamble anyways - so close the edge of the tread block that I never expected it to hold out that long.

And, on an unrelated note: Vienna Teng has a great voice - now if only she'd take voice lessons or something she could produce some truly great songs.  Although there are exceptions the majority of her work has a certain maturity that sets her apart from the majority of the sticky sentimentalism of chamber-pop.  "Dreaming Through The Noise" was the best $6.95 I've spent on a used CD in a long time....
