i broke down a ways back. flatted out we did. after fueling in palm coast, lynn and i was a lookin across the lot at vera lynn resting next to the pumps. how purty see is. gazing at her ebony tank focus flitting off her carbs to her rear end, ah so purty. but wait, why is she sitting so low? dangit! i walk over to her and a pickemup truck of blue collars, one says , "looks like you have aflat" geex be polite moe...difficult very trying times for mr a type oh. "well, would you happen to know of a place rounds here?" "yes, tri-city cycles".

i called tri city and they could come and pick me up like 5 mintues ago. i was being cheap and questioned him about my insurance covering the pickup and such and was givin the option of him picking me up now, or waiting till after he got back from lunch. "now, please"

he picked us up, loading vera lynn onto his very low toyota pickemup truck and hiho hiho its on to flagler beach we go: south. happens that he had a fat venom in stock and a tube! now, what to do as we waited? well turns out we were 2 blocks from the beach and right there, was finnegan's beachside pub... lunch, some anti type a beverages, two hundred, eighty-one dollars and thirty cents later, and we were back on the highway. only rode to lake park ga that night but we were set to continue our ride to newnan the next day.

it was very dark and a bit chilly as we made our way in the light rain to lake park later that evening. the light bar had been acting up. i needed a 10amp fuse and tri city charged me several dollars for one. this is after i already paid for the tire. dangit. so the next morning i awoke to birds chirping, the sun shining warm, and the desire to roll. i rode down 376 towards us41 where i found a napa store. had to replace the wire connector. hum.., attended triumph open days in newnan, bought a jacket at that event. rode the r3. met up with chy and di, the englishyankee and had a ball. rode on up to dahlonega. rode back to savannah, then on home. now where was i?
