I made up a song with lots of swearing about that truck to the tune of I'll Be Coming Round The Mountain.
(what rhymes with truck?)

I ended up singing that for the whole ride.

If you plan to sing alot I would carry a bottle of water, my throat got really dry after about an hour.

Too funny. I do this all the time. I have no idea why, but I'm sure it has something to do with that seagull hitting me in the forehead at 150km/hr years ago. (I stil miss that old helmet)

OMG that avatar is hilarious.

I sang yesterday but I was freezing my arse off cause I didnt grab my jacket (amazing when its 80 out and then all of a sudden drops to 50 how cold it feels when not 3 months ago you were used to riding in 20 degree temps lol) so thats why i was singing. trying to warm myself up lol. I love the country riding though cause I love the smell of fresh cut hay in the morning

Backroads? I'm too busy looking for deer to get bored.

hmmmm, I never get bored riding, I sometimes get so tired after riding long hours I have near fallen asleep at the controls, apart from that, just riding is enough for me I love it.
