It seems I am the only one of your ExNotes writers not on the road. Joe Gresh rode his resurrected Kawasaki ZRX to Laguna Seca (where he is camping and spectating this weekend), Bobbie Surber rode her Triumph Tiger up to Canada for a Horizons Unlimited event, and Mike Huber is rolling around the Pacific Northwest on his recently repaired BMW GS (presumably headed for the same event as Bobbie in Canada). I need to get out on my Enfield. Soon, my friends, soon.
Me? I’m home, continuing to play with things that go bang. That big photo up above? It’s a Ruger No. 1 in .257 Weatherby, with the best piece of wood I’ve ever seen. Keep an eye on the ExNotes blog; we’ll have a story on how my .257 Roy No. 1 came to wear such exquisite lumber.
Stay tuned; there’s good scribblings coming from all of us.
Never miss an ExNotes blog:
So… everyone is having fun but you!…. Well enjoy the things that go bang and let us know again when you get back on the Royal Enfield go on another adventure.
I know. On the other hand, it’s 98 degrees on the other side of that window right now. It’s 117 degrees in Death Valley. Today, I’m perfectly happy sitting here playing around on the computer.
Our summer in the northeast has been fairly miserable this year. There’s been rain and murky clouds nearly every day and when the sun does come out it’s sweltering hot and humid. Like 98% humid. And the flooding in Vermont and New York State. Bad. It’s been no fun riding in this weather even with the mesh gear.
Keep your powder dry…
Yup
That’s a gorgeous piece of wood.
It sure is; thanks. Watch for the story on it. It will post in about a month.
