  |  Never ride when you're sick...  Ok, so I HAD to try it. Today was such perfect weather.. Unconvered the bike.. checked everything over.. checked the gas.. unlocked the cowel.. turned her on to warm up.... put my jacket on.. then helmet.. then gloves... walked out of the house towards "Mona" (short for Demona, that's her name  )By the time I got to my bike, my head felt like it was going to EXPLODE from helmet pressure! My throat started hurting again, and while I KNOW it was not possible, I felt like my throat latch was making it worse.. My nose had got all stuffy again from the head pressure, and there was NO WAY I was going to be able to close my visor without feeling like I was suffocating..  I yanked the damned helmet off. Petted Mona and told her I was sorry, and pouted all the way back in to take off my gear.. By the time I got back in the house, I was dizzy.  Imagine if I had managed to get on the bike! What was I thinking?  I take that back.. I wasn't thinking at all. Cold must have gone to my brain. I HATE being sick, and we FINALLY have no rain!!  |
