no, it is supposed to be "turning over a new leaf", but not directed at you, in particular.

Why don't you just say how you really feel Dennis?

are there any baja forums for sober people? Suffering through someones addiction on the road is horrible! Suffering through an alcoholics typing is
also horrible.

If frequent misspellings and grammatical errors are creative, then my Grade 4 stories are the best literature in the English-speaking world
I think there is a mental health issue going on here

Well actually...if you read all his stuff...there's a vast amount of suppressive phases towards the females. Seriously. If I were to talk to a female
the way he writes about them....I'd have facial disfigurement from all the slaps!
Some of his questions are "questionably". I study and read stuff like the BN here to see what I may need BEFORE going to Baja's back country. Water
purifier? Well Hello! The claim of being an experienced world wide rider is being written by an inexpedience dessert rider, much less Irish coastal
rider.
If he just drop being just a smart twerp...he'll get a lot more help here and a hell of a less "fat drunken guys riding in a red car with fat
ladies... responding.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

12 31 10 19:38. I´m in the back of a policia car. How did this happen, what did I do? HELP
I spent the day in San Diego. I went to a bike shop in El Cajon, they closed early, I went to Walmart... etc
I got more than half the stuff on my list, success? Oh yea; I changed a little money just like it said on the money thread.
Costco 12.1500 $300.00 pesos 3,644 change $0.92
Cosco - no bike rack
While waiting in line, I noticed that Levis fit Mexican girls very well.
San Ysidro 12.1180 $300.00 pesos 3,600 change $2.92
San Ysidro - bike inside no problem
While waiting in line, I noticed that Levis fit Mexican girls very well.
The lady at the Costco entrance didn´t know where the money exchange was, she does know where casa de cambio is, no card needed.
The pepsi machine at Walmart stole my $1.25
Walmart - no bike parking in entrance - resistance = lady 100 kilos more than me.
The first San Ysidro casa de cambio said no pesos. That lady only had 50 kilos on me.
I didn´t think about it at the time, is the F.L.U. onto me?
¿whatever?
On the ABC bus to Ensenada I was the last one onto the bus. Just watching to make sure no one removes my bike from the possum belly. The 1 seat on
the bus was next to a lady only 30 kilos more than me, maybe she was 4´11. Even when she spent over an hour putting on another layer of makeup, in
the dark, I didn´t make the connection to the F.L.U.
Ensenada: Tienda Gigantic. 12.1431 $10.00 some bread change in pesos
While waiting in line I noticed that Ensenada girls have no Levis.
As I walked along the painted red bricks eating my pan, I noticed the leather store was over crowed, mostly middle aged women with 2 children. A few
40ish men, they were taking orders, not giving them. I backed out of the store when the biggest lady looked at my pan to long. At a smaller leather
store with just purses and such I got brave and went in. I got a couple of bruises sure. Position in line is determined by kilograms, not how long
one stands there. These ladies mean business. I´m only 200 pounds. F.L.U.?
casa de leather. 55 pesos 2 x 12 bottle rockets 2 little spinney things.
No Levis.
Hey; I got some bottle rockets, lets light one. The polocia were on me before it hit the ground and went pop, dud. Honestly: I admire a lady in
uniform, Levis or nor not. Her partner was doing the yelling, she was clearly in charge. He had a few English words. ¨You no ticket, you police
station.¨ It´s all so clear now. The F.L.U lured me into thinking fire works were legal, normal, acceptable. They were passing them out to their
children, by the thousand.
Now she is clearly demonstrating her ability to use robo cop as a marionette. When his English runs out, she taps a little board, and he has one more
word. I can´t see what she is tapping from the back seat of the Police car. Cybernetics? He does not resist. I,m shrinking smaller and smaller,
help. When he loses focus she flicks her pinkie finger, another chewing, not much left back there. He finally said the one Spanish word every
person knows, ... dinero. I offered ten dollars. She moved her head 1 millimeter to the left, he over reacted, NO. twenty dollars? Her nose
raised less than half a millimeter. I paid. She got both bills. He let me out of he policia car, and patted me on the back. She spoke for the first
time.
¨YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN´T HIDE.¨
F.L.U is a top secret organization with offices in every city, every village for that matter. Hell; they have offices all over the world. government
sponsorship? You bet. Insiders say governments need their support. You can climb up on a mountain and escape them for a little while. Sooner or later
you will run out of food and come down. They will be waiting!
F.L.U = Fat Ladies United |
Man oh man, we've got a live one here. This guy's a couple sandwiches shy of a picnic.

Boy, I haven't seen so much "love" expressed towards one of our own since Skeet was posting regularly. I do miss that old fart, but this new guy is
quickly taking up the slack, only with the opposite political slant.
For sure, I wouldn't be caught dead on a bike on the Transpeninsular about now since he has a big old target on his rear.

He really could add value to this board...writing about his daily run on that bike. I would mind reading the day to day logs of a Baja bicyclist .
Day 1 : I saw fine specimens of cactus, woodpeckers and talked to a nice rancher .
Day 2 : Weather little windy. Ate the best fish tacos. Roadway is little too narrow.
Day 3 : I saw the bumper of.......aaaah!
Day 4 : Dennis wont let me off his motor home's front bumper since yesterday.

Don't do that chrisx. I just talked about skyrockets and the board had me tarred and feathered within the hour. That was after I was called an idiot
and a troll.
Dogs are what you want to talk about. They love 'em more then anything else. Dogs, got it?
