Ok here is the story. This morning I called the Dr's office to get some paperwork. The lady that answered the phone asked "should I fax them to you or just put them in the mail?". It was about 75 and not a cloud in the sky so I said I think that I will just pick them up. The Dr's office is 17 miles from the house but I took the shortcut through the hills. When I got back home I had 132 miles on the clock. I felt good for saving them the trouble of faxing the forms to me.  |

Hehheheheh... Yuuuup... LOVE the Valk, reliable as all get out, EXCEPT for the navigation system, it tends to develop errors... The spousal unit long ago learned that if she asks me to "run to the store and get a gallon of milk", she needs to specify which STATE, or at least which CITY said store needs to be in!  |

Sometimes I say I am going out for a ride... the Ol'Lady asks... "When are you going to be home?"
She hates it when I say... "Thursday."

Everyone knows a Valk is faster than a fax machine!  |

I had the same problem one day. Told my wife I was going to the store to get an oil filter. The store is about ten miles away. Four hours later I see that she left a voice mail asking were I was!! Well, I was down by the Mississippi river!! In the opposite direction from were the store was!! I did get the oil filter though, there have been times I go out for something and never get it!!

Seems I too have gotten to where when I say I am going for a ride, she asks, 'Will you be home tonight?'

I rode to work for 35+ years.
Always told my boss that every day I had to make a decision whether to turn into the driveway for the office or just keep riding. Reminded him many days when it was a very close call.
August 26, 2000 I failed to make the turn, damn it was a good call and a nice day for a ride.

The wife is now trained.
She sees the Valk out and I say I'm going to the store/Daughter's house/friend's house, she comes out with her helmet. Many good memories made that way.
Neighbor knows when I call he needs to go feed the dogs.
Life is good!
