BSR - Definition of a Short Ride
« on: May 23, 2007, 05:15:06 PM »
*** BSR EYES ONLY ***

I think there is a very disparate view point on the definition of a short ride between the rider and BSR. I know at least in my house.  :P

This is important because you ask?? Let me tell you why.

1. The setup of the bike. Less comfortable seat vs. no tour pack vs. wrap around seat with tour pack.
2. Do I need to check the weather for potential of packing alternate clothing options/accessories (when it goes from gorgeous to chilly to rainy)
3. How much do I need to cram into my fanny pack.
4. Do I need to pack snacks and extra beer and the cooler? (the 2 beer cup is always present and filled upon departure).
5. Do we need to stop and fuel up?

For example, in MY house when HB suggests a "short trip" it's always expected that I pack an extra set of underwear and 3 packs of smokes.  :P

Now I KNOW that the other BSR members have questions that run through their minds when the suggestion of "let's go for a ride". So how do you define a short ride? Does your rider have a similar definition? What do you "pack" for a short ride vs. a long ride? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Well ya know we're dyin to!! Sure wish we were leaving this afternoon!! But I have to say that even if we didn't do the Hoistie/Binx NYC by way of Clinton thru Atlanta, that, in NO way that you can explain to me, is the definition of a "short ride"  :huepfenlol2:

Short Ride Definition = Ride till done!   :cherry: 

If you need new clothes, buy them.  If you need toiletries, buy them too.  No need to spend so much time planning, just get on the bike, smile that big smile and have a good time.   :cherry:

Candy  ;D Trust me...been there and done that!! HB tends to fergit that the young'uns need lookin after (the doggie kind not the human kind!!). I kinda like to give em food and water EVERY day  :P

Plus some planning is essential!! I'm the designated BSRBD!! (BSR beer drinker) Dry counties and blue laws can ruin a trip!!!  :o

Leave the house, swing by Nashville HD to see what's new. Cruise on over to Knoxville, and coast back over to St Louis to ride up to the top of the arch. Go by Keenland Race park in Lexington, amd ride the trace in LBL. THAT's a short ride.

BSR vs CO-Rider? A BSR is just that? Meaning no input just additional bike jewelry? A Co-rider is just that an extra pair of eyes and works with the bike and rider to complement to fullest enjoyment of the ride.

I only post to this BSR thread "only" because Hoist has posted before me so that must make it okay :)

Damn Breeze, you'd mentioned slight navigation issues before, but San Diego is a one heluva detour buddy  :huepfenlol2: :2vrolijk_21: .


(by the way, I love those slight detours)
