Your 5 cents worth

To tell you the truth I have it made. I have wonderful roads inches from my doorstep 18 miles of twisty river roads, one stop sign, two lane, truly drop dead 180mph sprint road with no cops. That's my back yard. I do it all the time, and I have sporting cars-and I have done these things and enjoy them-I mean to coast in Neutral into Great Falls National Park, Gravity with launch at 50 in a 20-is it better in an F-40 or a Seven?. To decibal the white House with a Supertrapp on a Sunday Morning -purely out of the American freedom to be "special".

 

So I am 64 and wanting to visit my Kids in So.Cal.-got grandkids now and I have been visiting So.Cal forever-work and kids.hotels and rentacars.

 

So I want to do an ultimate-British Columbia to Baha, seasonally correct. I have done coast to coast and back in 12 days on an Yamaha RZ350-and have a neat rambling experience- Done the last decade Trawlering on the East Coast So I admit it-VW campers make cute-and after that-the selection turns big dumb and ugly-If I could get something --No RVs are death.

 

I have been drinking and---well I will continue this

 

you are a special group--have helped before.

 

I flip between buying a boat and going to Cuba-or doing A Honda GROM down PCH.

 

Need Focus and done

Well, I'd say go to bed...wake up sober...and read again (in the morning) what you wrote last night . . . .Then we can all chat.

Kevin,

Hope you feel better in the morning. We went to Cuba in May.

Happy and sober this AM

 

We all share the love of exuberant cars-I am thinking about exuberant land activities to do, for the last 20 years I have been doing the NY to Bahamas cruising seasonally on a 20 ton trawler. So a land based adventure in a minimal way-like our minimal cars.

 

My first X county in a VW bug then a TVR-and 3 times by motorcycle. So I need a variation of that - I have considered RVs but its a BUS.

 

The Honda Groms seem 7 like in their minimal self.

 

Anyhow

Racing is life-everything else is just waiting-McQueen/LeMans

 

What I am avoiding like a drunk wanting a drink is to do another build/restoration or major mod on another car/yacht or motorcycle-a winters activity.

 

I do these builds and sometimes I keep it for decades wear out the tires-and sometimes I don't like them.

 

Its a dark pit of owning and not using fully what you have built as art. I love wearing out what I have built. the doing and the driving.

 

So I want to drive rather than fix. I love the creative side of fixing. Tempted to obtain yet another special car-the dark winter crossword puzzle that I have done to often.

 

Just Waiting
