I ride it virtually everyday I go to work. In some ways, it scares me. I guess it should. As a rider, I know every time I get on the bike, there’s a chance that things don’t go well. However, that chance exists in a car, or walking across the street, heck, even sitting at work things can go terribly wrong. Things do go wrong. I guess that’s why we wear our gear, our seat belts, buy cars with air bags… to reduce the chances, but we never eliminate them. We each have a number of days allotted to us; use them wisely.

Wicke, I’ll miss ya buddy. Shiny side up.

Went on the first “long” ride of the year with my son today. You can see the pictures we took over in the gallery. We took a couple of minutes going over the motorcycle for safety purposes and then suited up. We headed out first for a short ride, so we could be back in time to have lunch with Heather and Harrison. Heading first out Corbett Canyon, we came back along 227, over to Prince and finally home along Oak Park. Didn’t take very long, but it gave Hayden a chance to get his “motorcycle legs” back under him. As for the bike, I ride it almost every day, so I knew it was running well.

After a quick lunch, it was back out. I wasn’t sure exactly where I wanted to go, but I figured south was a good start. We stopped for some pictures just outside of Lompc, and then Hayden wanted to head home. I don’t like back tracking over the same roads, so I spiced it up a little, although we did back track some.

It’s always fun to get out, pretty much, no matter what the weather, but when it’s beautiful and warm, you gotta go. Of course the bugs were enjoying the day as well, as can be seen by my helmet. 8-)
