Got to love it.



There is nothing like coming out on a cool morning in the fall and
heading to work astride such a sweet bike.
Mother sun to the east and full faced stepchild moon to the west playing
at opposite ends of a sea of blue all swept by the playful horse tails
that are cirrus clouds. A sight to make one's day unflappable.

As it was I scuffed one of the saddle bags on the bumper of a Mustang
while maneuvering around the filling station. I now need to get some
rubbing compound to clean up the slight scratches.

Then out to the Interstate and to work. You come down that on ramp with
the engine on song at 7000 RPM and accelerate out to merge, up a gear
and place yourself on the highway. Then signal and over a lane, up a
gear and set into a cruse. Size up the traffic ahead. Signal and back to
the middle accelerating around the left lane camper. Signal and back
into the left behind the rest of the flow you caught. Man is it nice out
here today. It is bad when they are move 85-90 out there and all you
want to do is play auto slalom with them and have the knowledge that the
bike is more than up to the task.  You look ahead and see the opening
coming in the middle which would lead to a clear lane on the right up a
couple and back into the middle and a clear sail. It is ohHH so
tempting. Up that last gear and just smile.

That's why he's Black and goes by the name Shadow.  Still, to deny him
his legs on a day like today where everything just unfolds before you is
no loss. It is just a variation on the melody, oh sweet melody.
