Since the breakup I’ve been doing daily 100 mile rides. One destination yesterday was out to a park that I used as another safe haven as I was finding my true self years ago.
I took a bunch of pictures using Open Camera. There are a bunch of settings to play around with and I like it much more than the OEM OnePlus camera app. Not bad for a phone with a single rear camera (OnePlus 3T), but they did come out darker than I would have liked them to be.

I've never seen a Gold Wing that wasn't saddled with 500 lbs of "just buy an Accord" before. Looks great.

Sweet bike! H/T for Open Camera. I'm going to try it on my Essential.

Does a Goldwing really only do 80 odd mph?

It actually does something like 130 mph.
The 85mph speedometer is a common sight on 1980s vehicles in the US, especially on vehicles that can go far faster than 85. I think they’re there to discourage speeding?

Kind of. Due to the energy crisis of the ‘70s, the national speed limit was set at 55mph, and manufacturers were told to set the maximum shown velocity on the speedometers at 85mph, to apparently trick people into thinking they can’t drive any faster.
To get around this some manufacturers of high performance vehicles would stop the numbering at 85, but leave the hash marks after.

I found your twin working as a stewardess for United. I stopped short of taking a picture.

What!?!?! As in she looked like me? Or is an addict of motorcycles and planes?

Looked like you. I thought perhaps you had picked up a new job and didn’t tell anyone. Then I heard the flight crew is based out of Indianapolis.

I wonder how much flight attendants get paid. I could use this breakup to completely reinvent myself and chase aviation like I’ve long wanted to.

Man... weather just needs to hurry up and change here. Still riding every day, but the constant rain really limits my desire to go on extra rides.
