Then I took the clock to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve because the tides were low.

Does the clock have a name or is your FJR ticking?

The clock had a nice ride!

Grandiose, the clock is.

So, if you had a replacement clock sitting at home, perfectly synchronized to the bike clock, would the bike clock upon return home be _slightly_ behind in time? Would it be the battery's fault?

edit: Who has a spare cap-bolt cover to donate to `poof's ride?

Is it a little boy clock or a little girl clock?

Sent from the Moto X. A wicked awesome phone.

Clockberry?

Cool, this is the first clock ride report I've ever read.

Nice looking pair.

(clock and thermometer, of course).

Is the clock going to be the official STO mascot? That reminded me of a chilli ride report.

Can we get a dancing clock emicon.

Anyone know what time it is?

Max Wedge · « **Reply #8 on:** May 21, 2014, 09:23:54 PM »

So how long did you sit at the light waiting for it to turn green? I mean, you had a clock.

I'm betting your Garmin is not feeling much love right now.

It at least has the correct time.

That's a big black clock.

I was totally expecting a digital clock. I really should not pre-judge people. I really shouldn't.

Clockblockers.

Heck no, I love that Garmin. The clock can't help with my utter inability to find my ass with both hands.

We now have The Bob Mielke of Ride Reports: the Clock Edition added to our archives.

I thought of Him often while doing this report but, then again, it was a 50 mile ride. A bit long for Bob.

a car finally pulled up behind me after 3 cycles. I did have to run the red light turning left into the scenic lot at the Devils Slide tunnel. That shit was never turning green.

What the hell are you doing up?

Oh yeah, baby stuff.

Well, from your clock, I can see that you were able to get out for a solid 2 hours. Well done!

Looks a little cooler by the water too.

It was about 3 hours! The lunch photo was actually taken after lunch.

Much. Normally the fog burns off a little sooner but it was just starting to lift when I headed inland just after 2pm.

Max Wedge · « **Reply #22 on:** May 22, 2014, 11:40:08 AM »

Is there a graph that shows the time/temp/location relationships?

squeezer · « **Reply #23 on:** May 22, 2014, 04:51:20 PM »

Now that I've seen it, I must admit that you've added a very nice looking clock --
well, you know, nice for a Guzzi-level tech analog clock.

By the way, that lobster roll looks fantastic. Yum.

Yeah, mine's just a wee little digital one, not a big analog behemoth.

Once again you come down the hill to my hood but never stop.

No worries I was still out doing errands after work

And yes the darn lights at 92 and at the tunnel DO NOT SEE BIKES!! Or even sidecars.
