ValenBike's Day

[MikeDeY]

So after one terrible Valentine's Day experience, I no longer celebrate the day like normal people. Instead I celebrate ValenBike's day. Every year I buy myself/my bikes something awesome. This is what I got this year:

(I also got a complete engine to tear apart and rebuild, but I forgot to take pictures)

Hahaha!

I live in Hawaii, so the full leather armored jacket and knee length boots from Germany needed to be replaced by a textile jacket and riding shoes. And it's that obnoxious color because the Army says I have to wear bright reflective things. I hate the stupid vest, so I'll wear a jacket.

Nope, once you get inland you have Schofield Barracks, Army and chickens. They also keep the riff-raff out of the Hale Koa, a military hotel on Waikiki where all of us old fart retired military go to ogle the babes on the beach.

Normal people don't celebrate Valentine's Day.

Not yet... They have me in Virginia doing some training, so I shipped the engine off as soon as I got it. It'll be waiting for me when I get back in a few weeks.

Yeah... One of the lucky few enough to live in Hawaii and be able to ride in February, and the Army sends me to REEAAALLLLYYY COOOLLLDDD Virginia so I can't.
