The Circus of clowns is always about.
If you're willing to watch it.
One ride with the guys I sometimes ride with, we had to divert from original planned route because the highway was closed due to a fatality wreck further up the road. We then decided to divert to the next town East on the interstate, we fueled up again in Carlin NV and were planning on getting gas at a little town just South of ID, 120 miles away. We pull up to the little grocery store and gas station on the rez and find the fuel pumps are not working, all eight of them. So we ask the people in the store where the next fuel is, which is in Bruneau ID, another 80 miles away. One guy in the group has a tuned bagger that gets in the mid twenties MPG's. He proceeds to push his bike to each pump to try to get gas, the woman from the store asks me, didn't he hear me tell you guys that the pumps are all down? I tell her some days you just have to sit back and enjoy the Clown Circus when it comes to town. I thought she was going to pee her pants she started laughing so hard. \

Just Wow. What luck. Riding to Omaha for my Nephews wedding, I got 26mph nearing triple digits in a hella headwind. I coasted the last 1/8 mile to the gas station. 5.27 gals.
