Alaska Day 26

 

I will be moving from the Best Western over to the Park Inn which is across the street. Could not get a deal with BW but Andrew gave me a room with fireplace for 50.00 a night vs BW at 130.

THE STAFF at both places are nice…….last night the 21 year old bar maid at the Park paid for my beer. This am the girl running the cafe at BW said breakfast was on her.

AS i LAY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD YESTERDAY….I was amazed at the concern and kindness given by total strangers who kept me calm, made me comfortable, re treived items which I re quested on or in my bike and went and got shopping bags from their cars to put the stuff in and gave blankets etc to put under my head……DIRECTED traffic around me…  I am humbled by this experience.

WENT TO WRECKING YARD…BIKE STARTED AT THE TURN OF KEY…DROVE IT IN YARD IST GEAR…..MOST LIGHTS WORK THOUGH THEY ARE MISSING LENSES AND SOME HANGING…….WIRES ALL EXPOSED….WIND SHEILD CROOKED….FAIRING MOSTLY MISSING…tIME FOR tHE DUCK TAPE….I WILL TRY AND RIDE IT LATER TO THE MOTEL…JUST AROUND THE CORNER. IF MY CAMERA WORKS i WILL POST SOME PICS….I WAS WEARING IT AROUND MY NECK INSIDE MY JACKET AND I BELIEVE THIS IS HOW I DID THE RIB DAMAGE….I KNOW STUPID.
