Telluride

On occasion, I enjoy the challenge of taking one word, and milking the rhyme out of it for all its worth, around a particular feeling.

This evenings’ ride began right away with interesting things. While waiting for a green light at a highway 34 intersection, it appeared two vehicles were pulled over across the way and two policeman got out and walked toward the front vehicle, and while they did so, a person jumped out the passenger side of a white truck, the other vehicle, and bolted! ⚡️ k, bye!!! 👋🏽 __________________________ I found a very neat unexpected short one way dirt road section with a healthy drop-off down to a gently flowing river! ________________________ I found a lovely little reservoir and some road connections I was unaware of and a few ranches and a pasture full of grazing horses! and some big-ass mosquitoes and a large cloud of other bugs that plastered my face shield. __________________________ And my specialty, aka sworn enemy—three separate deer encounters. Only two of which were waiting right around a bend I was carving and accelerating out of. 🦌 brake ✅ x2. But I wasn’t even mad bro, it’s hard to be when you are having the time of your life! _________________________ #tiger955i #triumphtiger #triumphtigerexplorer #adventuremotorcycle
^ This is why we ride. _______________________ This is why my test rides and errand runs turn into several hour jaunts. Why I keep finding myself on roads which have an ending or direction I’m unaware of. Why I choose to get lost. Why I keep taking one more turn that will make it take longer for me to get home. This is when I feel peace and happiness. Moving through the universe on two wheels, it does it for me. It’s my thrill. *happy contented sigh* am I right?! ....yes. I am. ________________________ #tiger955i #triumphtiger #triumphtiger955i #triumphtigerexplorer
Well boys, it looks like adventure is back on the menu!! After a frustrating few weeks of waiting for parts and struggling with forward mechanical progress, I got the Tiger roadworthy again! <><><><><><> My 20 minute test ride turned into a couple hour ride. You know I’m eager when I head toward the mountains with ominous rain clouds looming overhead. <><><><><><> Pavement, gravel, dirt, mud, and rain. It’s important to be thorough in a test ride. Colorado has had an abnormally wet spring, which has kept things delightfully green. It makes me immensely happy to be riding again! Enough to want to break my online absence to share it! <><><><> I hope your life is as green with growth and life as the scenery I passed through today! #triumphtiger #tiger955i #triumphtigerexplorer
Yesterday. All my troubles seemed so far away. #triumphtiger #triumphtiger955 #tiger955i
Fridays are my specialty. Do you ever buy edible flowers just because they exist and you can? I’m fairly confident it’s a gimmick and grocery stores are like, “humans, Amiright?!? I bet if we put flower petals out there and labeled it as edible, they’d buy it. Hah” meanwhile, as store management is laughing I walk in and am like, “what! Flowers are already great to take in visually. Now I can take them into my body?! Done ✅ “ they are beautiful. And taste fine. I don’t know if they provide any nutritional value.
Suns out guns out. ☀️💪🏽 I love when I get to work in the sunny outside !!! Cutting some Jerusalem stone today. (A Dolomitic limestone, sourced from ...you guessed it, Jersey. ....I mean, Jerusalem! )
