Injury Leads to Boredom!

4 Wheel Weed Whacker

Ok, sometimes when you can’t ride for a while you probably get a bit crazy right? It seems maybe I have gotten to that point while wearing this cast on my broken thumb. I needed something to do so badly that was “off road” that I went out and bought a 4x4 Geo Tracker!

You have probably seen them but never paid any attention to them, I didn’t. But now I own one just so I can get out exploring off road in a small economical little 4x4. It is quite capable of covering most areas of off road as long as you don’t get too crazy or try to go too fast. Short wheel travel and a small motor limit your speed. But with a cast on my arm how fast should I really be going anyway and it is keeping me from getting on the bike when I know I shouldn’t. Besides that, I can carry an ice chest with a cold beverage while I am exploring and that may not be all bad. 

My buddy Mikey (Mike Harper) called to see if my “Weed Whacker” made the trip home without any problems. I almost fell out of my chair laughing!  So from this day forward the Geo will be called the Weed Whacker!

So off I go to see what kind of trouble…..I mean what I can find in my little Weed Whacker.  Only a couple more weeks and I will be able to climb back on the 2 wheeler and as we all know THAT is when the REAL FUN begins!

Talk to ya soon,

Let’s Go .....Shopping?

Yeah let’s Go Shopping!

Week 3 of any injury is about the time a guy starts losing his mind because he can’t ride. I have been out to the races and practice tracks to help some of my riding buddies but have time to kill when I can’t do that. So I take a trip to see a nephew’s (Rob) store that I haven’t seen yet. It is a Consignment store in Chico, Calif. It is called “Home Consignment Plus”.

Wow! What an eye opener, I know where I will be doing my Christmas shopping this year. I think he had every category you could think of in home furnishings, toys, jewelry and sports related items.

I was impressed with some of the things people consign to sell. If I were furnishing a house I would definitely shop there. Best of all we spent the majority of the time talking about motorcycles since Rob and his son Shane are Moto/gearheads. They were about to load up and drive down to watch Hangtown the first outdoor National. 

While I was there I tried out a few of his recliners on the floor and found several to my liking. One in particular that I lingered a bit too long on and got caught napping, kinda like some of my starts. I never thought I would enjoy “shopping” so much.

Next time I am out of action I think I will stop by and see what new recliners he has on the floor.

How Do You Handle Injury?

This is what happens when #33 hasn't ridden for two weeks! 

Pray for him....
