Default RE: Ride time

Was out for about 4 1/2 hours....not as warm at the beach[&:]

Guess it's been a long time since I've been to theRock store..Iforgotwhere it was, rode all over the place in the hills...and missed itby about 1/2 a mile.... Oh well went to the coast and north past Neptues nest.

Stopped at the Harley Dealer and bought a new pair of Chaps...Mine were too big on my legsand flapping me to death.

Time now to relax and have some fun.

Think I'm going to stay inland tomorrow...it might be a bit warmer. Not that it was too bad but why ride in 60 degrees when you can ride in 80 degrees

There are a lot of people who wouldn't be quite so worried about a drought if they had a motorcycle.

I can't remember the last day I haven't ridden my motorcycle. I think I've been on it every day this year. I've gotten rained on a bit, and I've ridden in the 20s a few times. Tomorrow may reach 70, and I may see the Queen Mary II under the Golden Gate Bridge.

California may suck sometimes. But not all the time.

This post is really bumming me out. Right now it's 7 degrees out.
Looks like a couple of weeks just to get into the low 40's. Winters
never bothered me unless I owneda bike at that time.

Rock store today with Scootergrrl. Directions for Bluerose since you live in the valley...Lets see here. Get to the 101 freeway south if possible. Get off at Kanaan dume rd, turn right. take Kanaan Dume (or maybe it is just Kanaan there) to mulhollnad HWY, turn left. Down the windy hill about a half mile or so. You can't miss it. If you are coming from the other direction (woodland hills) reverse the turns. But if memory serves you live in Simi valley...

It was in the low 50s here yesterday, so I really had to bundle up
Suppose to get into the 60s today, once the sun comes out, I'm gone
