Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence
I am so sleepy.
The winter was so long and so cold, and now that warm weather is here I am going crazy. I’ve been out on the motosickle almost every night this week. Truth is, I didn’t even have the energy to go out on the bike, but I just could not stop myself. The threat of colder weather next week also had me out and about because I knew next week probably will not be so good.
Last night a few of us from the Ride Ohio forum went to a fundraiser that Skidplate organized. It was called Crazy Bowling and it was like regular bowling but you had to roll the ball backwards, or bowl with your eyes shut, or bowl with your non-dominant hand. Everyone seemed to have a great time and they raised around $1,000.
Well, the last few days have been really great.
Sunday I took a ride with Skidplate, Passinthru, and Jason down to Cabelas. It was a great ride and the weather was nearly perfect. It is so nice to get out again!
Today I went to my first bike night of the year! I ran into a guy I used to work for named Andy who I found out is now riding a Harley! It was great to see him and I hope we can hook up for a few rides this year.
I am starting a new site for pictures that I take at bike nights. All I plan on doing is hanging out and taking pictures of anything that I think would make an interesting picture. The address for the site is:
So far the one tonight at the Ice House is the only thing posted, but as summer rolls on there should be lots more added. To see the pictures I took tonight click here!
Ok, people! This is not a drill! The first good weather weekend of 2008 has begun! I can’t believe it took so long to get here!
I managed to get out a little bit a few days ago, and finally got a picture of my new bike out in the wild!
I have to say, I really think this is a pretty motorcycle. It has been killing me to look at this thing every day sitting in the garage and not be able to ride it. It still only has just over 600 miles on it, but that is going to change starting this weekend! Sunday I am planning on taking a trip to Cabelas so there will be pictures posted when I return! If you want to tag along find the details by clicking here.
Well, I am going to announce that I am officially totally fed up with winter. I just can’t take it anymore. I have had all the cold, snow, and ice that I can possibly stand for a year. I guess the bad news is that it does not look like it is going to get any better any time soon. At least it is now March. There is so much snow on the ground here I could just crap myself, and there just might be another snowstorm coming on Tuesday. It is all just getting to be too much for me.
I guess it is not bad for everyone. Deals Gap opened up yesterday, so folks should be having a good time down there. Bike Week is underway in Daytona so folks should be having a good time down there as well. I can look forward to seeing the races next weekend on the television, and then the weekend after that starts the season for MotoGP. Maybe after that the weather will improve and I can start riding this new motorcycle that has been sitting in my garage for so long.
