The setting is so…
In real life, I can attend only 1 Michigan game to my fall schedule quickly filling up with reunions, invite from Theo, the mayor of Amsterdam, to party our way from his family’s ancestral castle all the way to a party he is hosting in Prague. I am definitely going on that trip with no end date…I could spend a month or more with him.
Im likely going to be working more this summer and fall with Will that will require a good bit of travel. it is going to come down to compensation as the company he is contracting for will be paying a part of any contract with me going forward. I did 3 reports over the last 6 months for Will as a favor to an old friend, and to prove to myself that I still had the chops. I absolutely need to make new contacts..something I have some old friends working on for me. Unfortunately, that will likely require some travel as well. A face to face conversation to establish parameters and personally connect with the prospective source is critical to establishing if the person is the genuine article or is not someone I can’t take seriously. I’ve found that weeding out the clowns and those who have delusions of grandeur about themselves is a long difficult process.
Which will leave me with very few open weekends if compensation is worked out. There are 2 games to consider:
1). Attend the USC game with the parents, aunt, and uncle. It will be a nice weekend and historic, but very chill.
2). This year, my 2 uncle’s retired and passed on leadership of their MC club, still all ex-rangers who hide in plain sight, to my cousins Brandon and Dale, both desert war decorated vets, who have made a few changes to update the club. They changed the name of the club that, even though they had minority members, was a bit racist for the 2020s. New “murdered out” club colors with dark army green piping on patches. Changed from all Harley’s to any bike made before 1980 if you choose not to ride a hog. All bikes must be “Murdered Out” as well. No chrome, black or wrapped pipes, black satin paint with a no gloss flat clear sealer. They used to come with us to games when we were kids and are huge Michigan fans. Both really want me to go and Brandon already called my pops to pledge to him that nothing will happen on the trip.
They want me to go to the OSU game in cowtown with them…and by them I mean a dozen or more of their club members in colors riding into town on bikes. They said they’ll have a special “Legacy” vest for me, and I’ll have to pull my ‘79 KZ1000 out of storage now to have my bike guy Jerry get it running and converted to a mono shock..riding that rigid old school frame kills my back just thinking about it. Paint is easy ..I’ve always painted my own project cars. It would be weird for sure, because the opportunity to go outlaw has always been there for me, and I was dead set against it my whole life. Don’t know how I feel about wearing colors I didn’t earn, but damn..that would be an awesome way to roll up to the snake pit, with a platoon of real killers..at least I won’t feel weird about not belonging in that manner. These boys are a decade younger or more and are true “Hell raisers and Life takers”…we will definitely have a good time, especially when Moore outclasses Coach 3rd base again. It’ll be a ribald blast of sin and debauchery.
Gotta admit, I’m really struggling with this. The USC game will be epic. Rolling into cowtown with numbers from the deadliest outlaw biker gang in Michigan most residents are unaware exists would be a bucket list experience. Fixing and modifying my Kawasaki classic “Widow Maker” will be expensive even at friend prices..I really don’t know what to do here. The only other huge minus, you freeze your ass off riding in 50 degree weather, if it’s over freezing I’m still down, but if it’s gonna be in the 20s with winds and snow flurries? I’ve ridden in that weather before in my 20s and have no desire to do it again.
If you’ve been here awhile, then you know I’m legitimately not right in the head, and I’m sure you’re seeing something I’m missing. Pretend you’re my psychiatrist and I asked you for advice. I’d prefer to make the ride to the OSU game..for obvious reasons. However, Ive had a pretty good last 2 years of stability and I’m confident I’d be able to behave myself..as long as nobody effs with us. As my psychiatrist has, you’ve been happy with my state of mind for awhile, but all it takes is one trigger to set loose the monster within. Still, I’ve become somewhat of a shut in, this year I pledged to be more social with people my age and have some fun.
So tell me Dr., what game should I attend this season?
