Pissedandbroke on Route 66

Unbelievable ... we finally left the grips of Las vegas, the ride south was smooth sailing untill about 3 hrs into the trip . We stopped to check directions as we exited the Mojave Desert , just outside of Amboy , and i noticed my bike sounding louder than normal. Driving done the rd another couple of km we stopped again at a Gas station being rebuilt and that as far as i wanted to go with her. I put a quart of oil in and it just barely reqistared on the window , holly shit ! where did my oil go ?? The knocking did not go away so plan B ..... one of the locals offered to give us a ride anywhwhere we wanted to go ...he had a truck and a trailer!! Dave was his name nicest guy you could meet, probably in the whole of the USA! We were so lucky to have broken down here of all places if you have to break down .. loaded up the bikes and headed back to Las Vegas . Dave had a couple of rules , he likes to drive slow and you had to tolerate his smoking.... ( the good stuff ) shit . 3 hrs later we were back at Gabrielle's house ! The ride was great driving in the desert, clear night stars were out , things aren't that bad we had a good buzz on and were in the desert with our new friend who makes Diesel motor bikes in his spare time !
