Motorcycles (34)

Orzzz: I like that..old school. My Triumph is 1965, 500 hardtail. Geeze...talk about age..had to think what year. I had a 1956 Tiger Cub I sold. The HD Sportster in my living room is a 1970. My HD servicar is a 1954.
You must have cold weather gear to ride. Long ago, my ex and I decided to take a ride. November and an 80 degree F day. Hard to remember now..I rode a 305 Honda. Can't think if he had a 350 Honda or had the big Triumph already. Anyway...where should we go. I said why don't we head Oxford way. So we headed off on back roads. Day goes past..he is way ahead. I come to a T. So which way did he go!? FINE! So I parked my bike and sat down next to a corn field. Finally he comes back. I said@%$^#%which^%&%@$# way@#$^$^you!#$@. And where the H are we. He said he saw a sign, Oxford that way. WHAT! We are all the way over there? He said well you said go there. I told him I said that DIRECTION..not TO it! He told me there was a general store and saw shop up the road. Good, lets go there and find out how to get home.
By now the sun has drop and it is getting November cold. So I took corn leaves and padded the inside front of my leather coat. We went to the store. I asked for old newspapers. She said other store..just go up stairs through dads mobile home and across out other door to it. I ditched the corn leaves, AND a couple of sand burrs, padded with papers and we took off. He decided to head to brothers house in the area. We got there, frozen to the core. She turned up the oil heater and I hugged it. We decided to ditch my bike til another day, I pack behind him and he take the cold wind. We got a mile from the house and bike slows. He stopped..lost the spring on throttle. He pushed the bike with headlight and we FOUND it. He put it on and we went home.
NEVER trust an 80 degree day in November in Wisconsin!
