I took a ride south yesterday morning and got a late breakfast. Hard to beat biscuits and gravy with Tabasco, topped with runny eggs. Born to ride Work to ride Ride to eat... Still have to cut 10#+ as my Aerostitch Transit suit etc is too snug... Shooting for 210... My fastest red will be that much faster huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted June 17, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted June 17, 2023 I'd still like to get to Boulder to visit a high school buddy. This season problem is I have a project starting which may screw up the whole summer because the client has delayed it by three months Still gonna try but five hundred miles a day in my shape is all I think I can do...

For us Antipodeans, please elaborate on what 'biscuits and gravy' consists of. I've managed to work out the runny eggs. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to work out the runny eggs. 😉 Exactly as stated. A high starch gravey usually with chicken stock and bits over lard based biskets. Traditional American plebian fair. Personally I'm a well done scrambled egg onion & salami with a shortstack and chocolate milk ITM type of guy... https://www.kktv.com/2023/02/22/ihop-is-bringing-back-free-short-stacks-national-pancake-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Heli ATP Yes, just like a scone. It is a popular breakfast bread usually used for a breakfast sandwich or in this case, covered in sausage gravy. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this doesn't really come under the umbrella of what we did to our bikes but since we're already down the rabbit hole...... Ok guys, thanks for the replies and to furthering my education. Just on the point of 'our' scones though, while they might sound similar to your biscuits, they are never (that I've ever heard of at least) eaten as breakfast fare but as a mid morning or as an afternoon snack usually with coffee or traditionally with tea. The quote in 2plus3's screen grab of piling sugar on to sweeten is never done (again that I've ever heard of ) but rather jam and optionally clotted cream is used to sweeten things up if desired or they are simply consumed as is or with a little butter. But now I have a hankering for your breakfast bread! There, now back to what we did with our bikes. 😄👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted June 18, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted June 18, 2023 Weekend's mileage so far. Does the rest of the world celebrate our Hallmark Card Co.'s another excuse to market Father's Day? Watered the back 40 post ride yesterday. Going to dispense fluid cheer to the SWMBO's front babies before SSU later this AM. It takes a minimum of 2 hours to water every other day as we're in a very bad drought. At least I had time to at least RUN the VTR last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member piotrek Posted June 18, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted June 18, 2023 What was old is new again. I got tired of the Scorpion exhaust, particularly on longer rides... so I thought I'd go stock for remainder of the year (or beyond). Sourced a basically brand new FZ-09 exhaust locally for CAD $30. 7lbs heavier 😒, but it is quieter and the sound is less percussive. The exhaust tip shroud/shield needed some edits (interference with centre stand), but easily done. Will keep the Scorpion on hand for now and clean it some day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the baffle and wearing ear plugs I don't notice mine at all while riding. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sirepair Posted June 19, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted June 19, 2023 Today is "Ride to Work Day", so I did. Apparently it is also "Free Bike Wash Day" as my Fudge is getting a rain-water rinse! All good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started to wear me out... so it's gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draco_1967 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Finally got out for a decent ride yesterday. The Tracer is filthy, but still rides like a dream! I was hoping to ride a nice long loop, but one of the passes is still closed. Oh well, the road is twisty on the way back too, so no loss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
