Bill Hawkins rode a 250cc Honda from Ajijic, Mexico to his daughter's wedding in Washington state with no phone and a deadline worth keeping. A roadside mechanic, desert silence and a hammock between redwoods give The Burrito something no touring catalog can sell. The Grand Canyon rearranges his sense of scale while the wedding defeats an ambitious agreement not to cry.

Robin survives an MSF RiderCoach gathering where a suspiciously tight U-turn box gives Captain Sport Touring a public humility demonstration. Back home, Maggie's SV650 gets a luggage-rack fitment fight and enough coolant to require a turkey baster. Divisive Dogmas then finds the quickest way to start a motorcycle argument: ask about oil and leave.

Brian continues The Thread Files with rivet nuts for thin metal and wire inserts for threads that have left the building. He sorts installation tools, loose inserts and metric pitch traps before returning to the KLR doohickey's apparently permanent argument. Somewhere between a hot charging fault and a GSX-8R fork cartridge, the service manual still owes him an explanation.
