Rubber_Side_Down: he's baaack...

Yo hivers! Just when you thought the world was safe for Democracy, Rubber Side Down has returned.
I ain't gonna dish as Hall_Monitor anymore, but I may bloviate about motorcycles and such now and then, and whatever else strikes my fancy. I just won't get paid for it anymore...
So now that I have some spare time, I'm planning a two-wheeled trip or two, in and around applying for work. (Put in a good word for me, eh?)
The first destination is probably Joshua Tree National Park, because it's warm and dry down there this time of year. I hope to camp, shoot some pictures and maybe post them here, if I figure out how to do that.
Before I do, however, I' m gonna head over to Cycle Specialties Saturday, for Triumph Demo Days. It happens to be the day after my birthday, and I won't say which one, other than to note that it's twice the age at which Bob Dylan said I couldn't be trusted. And Bob wore that iconic Triumph shirt on the album cover of Highway 61 Revisited...
So there's a lot of strange karma going on here. Did you know that there are six different kinds of rattlesnakes in Joshua Tree park? I didn't either, but I think I'm takin' my heavy boots. There's also coyotes and tarantulas, but somehow, they don't send the same tingle down the spine as rattlers. I do like the evening howl of the coyotes, however.
More later -
