The Ride Report

I saw the coolest Halloween costume ever on the freeway this afternoon. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me so I didn’t get a picture. I was tooling down the 101, heading north through the Cahuenga Pass near Hollywood Bowl, when I saw a motorcycle coming up on me in the left hand lane. […]

Today is my birthday but I’m not much in the birthday mood, so I decided to celebrate by going for a solo ride. I’ve been wanting to ride through Death Valley for awhile now, but I never can seem to find the right time to do it. Today looked like the day — I’m off […]

Aaaaaaaaaaand…. I’m back. Actually, I’m still here — I never left, I just got lazy. I got busy with the club, busy with the bike, busy with the wife (pun intended), busy with work… You’ve seen it before: Blogger blogs, blogger falls off the face of the earth, blogger comes back and resumes posting fitfully […]
