Assless Chaps Required

My dad’s home from le hospital. Now, instead of nurses poking him with needles around the clock while his ass hangs out, he gets to wear pants and go in to have his blood drawn every few days. Major improvement. Still not ideal, as his knee is ginormous and unfixable until they get the blood clots resolved and he’s off the blood thinner. Not exactly the news an active 63-year old likes to hear. (By active, I mean like rides a bicycle on purpose over mountain passes just because they’re there. It’s probably why he survived the clot passing through his heart, and why I would have dropped dead.)

It’s also why Bob and I got to take my parents’ Goldwing for a joy ride to fill it up with gas before winterizing it for my dad. There was a chance it would be a bit chilly on the ride, so I borrowed my mom’s leathers, including her assless chaps. (Are there assful chaps? I’m guessing not. Wouldn’t those just be leather pants? Answered my own question right there. Alrighty then.)

My main job on the ride, aside from wearer of assless chaps, was to take pictures from the back of the motorcycle.

First, a self portrait.

Between Sierra City and Downieville.

My pilot, during a pitstop in Downieville where we scoped out an OHV location. His true passion is offroad, not on. Although, riding the parental units’ Cadillac o’ bikes did make him long to add a commute-bike back into the garage.

What?!? No pictures of the bike itself? Bummer. But looks like a fun, and beautiful ride.

I know. I know. Can you tell my mind was on other "things"?

I still think Bob has a nicer ass (no offense)

[califmom]

I always knew you had a thing for him. You guys would look good together onthat Goldwing.

So whose ass is that? It's a nice one and your ride sounds wonderful! Sooooo glad to see ya'll enjoying life again despite all the rocks that have been thrown, and it's awesome to hear good news about your Dad (Way to go Daddy-o! He seems like a pretty cool cat!).

Hey, if you got any of that ju-ju left over can we borrow a little for this afternoon's appt w/ the oncologist? No BIG worries, he's just been a bit more tired than usual and I'm hoping it's just the 65 hr work weeks showing! I'd sure appreciate it!

Big C-free ju-ju coming your way! (That's my flat ass, thank you very much.)

If you needed assless chaps, you could have borrowed mine.
