2001 midnight star
This summer I when solo from Vancouver Island BC Canada to New York City. With my wifes blessing, as she got tied down to work at the last moment and couldn't go. Well that sucked but she said we had planned it for sometime and wanted me to go, so yeah I yes OK Baby!!! I can't write everything I did but to start I will say I never met so many nice poeple on one trip in my life. I started by going to Sturgis Rally for 3 days, Met a fellow rider on the way, cool dude, we partied in Sturgis and he had to hit the road home, back to Washington. Sturgis what can I say, don't believe anything anybody tells you about Sturgis, just go and experiance it for your self that is the best way to do it just go!!WOW to much fun. I then headed for Niagra Falls, going through Chicago, then Detroit, up between the lakes and to a friends Daughters place her and her hubby lived about 1 hour from the falls so that was great. I stayed there for 2 days and then on to New York and New Jersey I want to see the Statue of Liberty, empire state building, time square ground zero and anything else I could see, It was quite a trip in and out on a bike come to think of it never seen any bikes on the roads in or out. I was told by many poeple as I crossed the states, that I was nuts to go in to New York on a Bike. ( I was pulling a trailer too). So I got to see the green lady as they call her and the empire state building ( from a distance) I tried to get into the city a couple of times only to end up back at the toll both to pay again and again. So I when't through down town New Jersey got to the Liberty park, got my pictures, and had to run for it, as there was a thunder and lighting storm hitting just after I got there. So soaked to the ass before I could get my rain gear on, couldn't us the GPS, to find my way out, 3 to 5 lanes of rush hour traffic, rain bouncing off the road about a foot in the air, did I meantion the roads were very bad like 6 inch deep potholes, semi trucks throwing waves of water over me, can't see through my windshield, and then the toll guy told me I was going the wrong way.....Hmmm. So I evenully found my way out 2 hours riding in the rain, and all I could do was laugh, because was the hell It was an adventure, So then I went to Columbus Ohio to the Motorcycle hall of fame, which was pretty cool, and Jack Nickcolaus golf museum ( I'm a golfer too) then it was off to Minasota to go watch Tiger and the boys at the PGA Championships in Chaska at Hazeltine GC, the poeple traffic at the golf course was worse than the traffic out of New Jersey. I then headed for home stopping again in Sturgis for the night, then Winthrope, and through the North Cascades, and back to canada. Well this is a very short version of my trip but all I can say is it was a blast a total blast. It was all about the ride verything else was just a bonus. The eastern sea board this past summer was just riddled with rain for most of the summer, and believe it or not I only got rained on in New Jesrey and in Sturgis once, for the whole trip unbelieveable. The rest of the trip was nice and hot.. beautiful. Oh yes never had any problems with the bike or the trailer, Ran like a top, I love my Yamaha, and I must say I met a lot of Harley riders, that really liked the style of the midnight Venture, I had a lot of compliments on my bike, also won Best Japanese bike at our toy run this year, or 25th anniversary run about 13 hundred bikes to cool. So thanks for reading I hope it was as good for you as the trip was for me. keep the rubber side down and safe riding to all.

*Why we should not flirt!!!!!!! *
A couple were invited to a swanky family masked fancy dress Halloween party. The wife got a terrible headache and told her
husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take
some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going.
So he took his costume and away he went.. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke without pain and as it was still early, decided to go to the party. As her husband didn't know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.
So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every
nice 'chick' he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there.
His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry and devoted his time to her.
She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her *husband.
After more drinks he finally whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had passionate intercourse in the back seat. Just before unmasking at midnight , she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and was sitting up reading when he came in, so she asked what kind of time he had.
'Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there.' Then she asked, 'Did you dance much?'
He replied, 'I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the spare room and played poker all evening.'
'You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!' she said with unashamed sarcasm. To which the husband **replied,
