Due to an odd array of events we took this beast to church Sunday. It was our only option aside from staying home. One vehicle had an ignition issue which has since been resolved and the other vehicle was parked on a soggy lawn where we both attempted to push it out in our church shoes. Dave's attempts must have been much more enthusiastic than my own judging by the amount of mud on his shoes as opposed to my cute heels. In spite of his brawn the soggy lawn only digressed into a muddy mass and didn't not give up the car. So we did what all Alaskans would do on a frosty morning. Took the motorcycle.
It's impressive how the loudness factor increases exponentially while in a church parking lot as a couple services are in sessions within the building. Now we've taken our previous motorcycle to church on a number of occasions. The circumstances were a little different however. Such as; the fact that we were not only on time but early, another ward was not already in their meetings and that bike was a little quieter. Not that any motorcycle could really be nominated as the quite child by the librarian. It was a cold morning as well. So I will tell the ward members that sound carries better in cold temperatures and that is why your slumbering new born was awakened in a fright and not consolable through the rest of the day.
It worked!

Welcome back Dave. That's quite a story. This bike looks much more tame.
I was wondering how long it would take the bike to make the blog! Nice picture! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Back!
It sounds like we are so missing out on the snow blower fun Popa.
Bryan & Bobbie, looks can be deceiving.
Coolmom, I languished two days trying to get the video of Dave's first drive into the sunset on here to no avail.
Am open to any and all instruction on the matter.
I'm having fits trying to post vids on my blog at the moment too. NICE Christmas wreaths, very festive in each window. Oh, yeah I guess there's a bike in the pic too, COOL BIKE! Oh yeah, and HI DAVE, didnt see you there. You know I see the crafty stuff first, sorry! Welcome HOME AWAY FROM HOME!
Welcome Home!!!! You look awesome.
Happy New Year to you and Valli!
Uploading video is the same as with pictures. There is an icon for videos right next to the images. Click it and it walks you through everything else. You probably know all this, but my sis-in law had no idea. But anyway, if it isn't working it may be because the size is too big. There are ways of shrinking down video but you need certain software to do it. It seems most people today have something that will work. Those are my thoughts.
Bryan thank you for the thoughts.
So here is what it's been telling me. "Your tag is not closed" or some other stupid thing like that. I can watch the video in the preview but then it won't publish it.
I rely upon the mercy of the masses in this endeavor.
duuuuuuuuuuude. that's a sweet bike. i was just thinking the other day about when we used to spit-joust on our bikes as kids- your ride has definitely improved!
