Well, it sure has taken a long time, but the Pikes Peak update is finally done! Without much time to spare either, because we leave for Deals Gap in five days! Click here to see the update.
Last Wednesday I went to Sharon for the Small Ships Review. It was pretty cool and I have a video of some of the small ships here.
A couple of weeks ago at a poker run I won a $10 gift certificate for Warren Harley Davidson. My charger for my Chatterbox unit stopped working so I was headed up to Shadetree to buy a new one for the trip next week. On the way there I remembered my gift certificate and decided to stop and see if they sold them.
I have never owned a Harley but I do respect them. My visit to the Harley shop was a little bit alarming, and I’ll bet you there are a lot of Harley riders who share my concern. It really looks like Harley is not focused on motorcycles anymore. The majority of this shop is devoted to non motorcycle related items. They sold baby clothes, clocks, chess sets, ceiling fans, jewelry, candles. dart boards – the list goes on and on! I think it was the ceiling fans that blew me away the most. Ceiling fans? CEILING FANS????? On the plus side, I figured a motorcycle shop that has all this stuff probably sells Chatterbox equipment. I wait at the parts counter and ask if they sell the Chatterbox helmet mounted communicators. The guy behind the counter had no idea in the world what I was talking about. The guy had never even heard of Chatterbox. This was not some young 17 year old kid either, this was a middle aged biker guy. I’ll bet it breaks the hearts of serious old time Harley riders to see how things are changing.
