Had to pick up a prescription\u2014no idea why that took 30 minutes, but it did\u2014and go out to the courthouse complex to pay the property taxes on our cars and motorcycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re doing construction down the hill to the left out of my neighborhood. The dude with the slow\/stop sign posts up at the end of our feeder street. He kept trying to say something. I kept shouting, &#8220;I can&#8217;t hear you,&#8221; and eventually gave up and just went the other way. So angry yesterday at a bunch of things. Probably shouldn&#8217;t have gotten on the bike in that state, but here we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bike was a total pain in the ass to start. I feel it&#8217;s getting worse. George says it should start easier when we get the digital ignition installed\u2014eliminating the points and the analogue timing advance. I just hope I can find time before I wreck the starter and\/or flywheel. Got a set of clutch parts for $300 from a rando on Facebook in one of the Airhead groups. Just in case. He packed them poorly, just stacking them on top of each other in a USPS Priority Mail box with a few pieces of paper in between each part. They look OK but I&#8217;ll have George eyeball them. I&#8217;ll never understand why people half-ass protecting the stuff they ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wes_r90_courthouse-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9111 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wes_r90_courthouse-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9111 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wes_r90_courthouse-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wes_r90_courthouse-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wes_r90_courthouse-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wes_r90_courthouse.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t ride angry &#8230; except when you have to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9111,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[158],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-riding-without-cruise-control"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
