We had plenty of ex airborne regiment in our unit. They were nuts.

Not everyone is pussy. Pretty cool jumping out of a "perfectly good" airplane.
Just found out another coworker of mine who retired only 4-5 years ago is very unwell and counting his days.
Man, this just further reinforces my earlier discussion in this thread to live life now as you never know if you’re going to be able to do so in retirement. Ugh.
Anyhow, I pushed my Iron Butt ride up to Monday instead of tomorrow. Reasons.

I've been following the mantra of "eat the dessert first" for quite a while now.
yeah
Report: All the talk of pants pooping makes me think you're scared. Because you're scared you think we all should be. Not true.I need a hurt feelings report.
I **** my pants just watching that video.
I’d rather Evil Kneivel my bike over a pool of hot lava than skydive, sorry guys. Call me all the names you want, I’m noping right out on that one.
Beautiful day out there today. I planned it so I wasn’t looking into the sun on my way home so I did dirt on the way up and twisties on the return. About 500km in total (I waited until about 11am to leave to warm up as it was 0c when I checked the tire pressures during breakfast.
Some proper off-roading and a beautiful trail connecting Marmora and Deloro (called Twin Sister Lakes Rd), and a view from the bridge on Old Hastings Rd (it’s dirt/gravel road and if you like to drift it’s a blast), and the nice pavement twisties of Lower Faraday.

I got out for a little toot after work. I did not put the liner in my jacket and soon regretted it.
I think all the people who already packed away their bikes in such a way that they can't (or won't) pull it out again until the spring are going to regret it this weekend. Forecast is looking freakin awesome for being almost November.

Did you tackle both water crossings?
Isn't that a badge of honour on a KLR?
I'd much rather fly a sailplane tho we did have to wear a chute.
My fav plane at the Smithsonian. Think there may be one at York Soaring that does not get used enough enough.

I would say less badge of honour more rite of passage.
I put the liner in my coat, rolled the bike out of the garage and went nope nope nope don’t need the liner, bike says it 15c and it’s feels sunny and warm. Tossed the liner aside and left and bike quickly said “fooled ya, just 12c old boy”. It was 17c by the time I hit Bancroft but the temp drops quickly after 4pm.
Cool. Keep me in the loop!
