I just did that, plus I work a freakin' half block from Mr. Beef!

What time are people converging there?

Looks like it's just me and Phil, so we are aiming for 12:30pm to 1PM as to not fight the lunch crowd.

I should've taken today off work. I feel like a bag of dicks and would rather be eating beef than fixing trucks.

Wow! What a day for a ride. Still can't escape the bad roads and traffic but what a perfect day. After changing the oil on the Gixxer, rode up to Mr. Beefs with Phil. G2G and Fractalspehere met us up there.

Mr. Beefs is very good by their hot peppers suck. All I got was celery and no one hint of spice. Beef is very good though albeit overpriced at $6.50 a sandwich.

After lunch Phil and I did two runs on Lake Shore Drive and then took a break at Chinatown where I enjoyed a mango bubble tea drink from Joyees.

After that I headed to Skokie to swap the Gixxer out for the 1971 Honda CL350. After failing to kick start it, Phil figures out that the ignition was set to OFF. Ooops. Switched it to on and it fired right up. Not bad for a 39 year old bike with dirty carbs. I was able to ride it all the way home. Going to get working on restoring this bike.

Mr. Beef sucks. I mean it tastes pretty good but fuck man those prices were fucking outrageous! I had a beef with celery, cheese fries and a fountain drink. Total bill came out to $11.25 I think Portillo's rocks the shit outta Mr. Beef. Downright puts them to utter shitty shame AND it costs a fraction of the price.

Great day for a ride but I was once again reminded why I hate riding in the city. My neck is killing me from not having the wind to hold up my large noggin because we were going so slow.

Mao's Honda is loud as fuck and is fun to ride. Hopefully he gets those front brakes fixed first cuz he had to run a red light since he couldn't stop in time

it's funny how our minds play tricks on us especially for stuff that we THINK is supposed to be the way it is.

Women tend to be more detail oriented. They notice the little things than men often overlook.

I left Brian the keys but he's going to have to ride dirty as I took the plates off to put on the old Honda.

That's how city employees roll, with their out of city residences so they can avoid taxes and buy guns, shameful
