Back from the dead

I’ve been AWOL for a long time now, dealing with a new wife, animals, cars, etc. Let see if I can keep this going and take it somewhere interesting.

Too much crazy? or not enough sane?
Sep 23rd 2007jismayDeep Thoughts
Most of the time, when I’m not tooling around on the T100 I’m having a good time in the Miata. Unfortunately, the water pump on the car broke this week and the parts weren’t going to arrive until next week. This left me in a bit of a pickle as I had a hockey game on saturday night. So, instead of doing the smart thing and borrowing a friends car I decided to see if I could get everything onto the bike.
A few bungie cords later and it turns out that you can indeed strap an ice hockey bag and a pair of sticks to a motorcycle.
I’ll Meet you in San Francisco – Day 1
May 3rd 2007jismayDeep Thoughts
Destination: San Francisco
Mileage: 86
So far, Irvine to Agoura Hills.
There is something peculiar about Los Angeles, as I pass LAX and enter the city proper I bid farewell to the gusty and rambunctious coastal winds that I have been battling through since Irvine. Entering the shadow of the city and the coastal ranges I encounter a peculiar stillness as if the winds have decided to ignore the City of Angels. It is always a good thing to be free of the city though, and as I merge onto the 101 I lean forward and goose the throttle, not long now until I reach Agoura and can rest until the morning. Today will be the short one, tomorrow I have the long but beautiful CA101 to look forward to as I slowly stretch towards the city on the bay.
