Pardon the interruption

So I got caught up in the planning and what not of the big birthday ride instead of writing the rest of the Grand Oman Adventure.
In fact I’m on the big birthday ride right now so nothing of interest will be posted for at least a few weeks.
Sorry. But your patience will be [...]

All the Ladies

Yesterday my buddy Dove returned Mirabelle to the Castle. I rode her to work today. What a bitchin’ little ride she is!!
Eisen came by and took Sharkey’s rear wheel. He’s gonna take the cast off tire and put it on his streetfighter. Then He will have a bike and can give me Sylvia back. Sharkey [...]

The Bay Area Guide to Lane Splitting Etiquette

So I’ve noticed of late a lot more people sharing the split with me on my morning commute and I feel the need to pass on a few do’s and don’ts. First be aware of other riders in the split. There is nothing worse than being cut off by some dipshit in loafers on a [...]

Almost, cool!

So I have been reflecting lately on what an amazing word “almost ” is. It has the ability to turn a meaningless bit of insignifica, into a much more important earth shattering thing.
For instance. Yesterday I had to go to work. There came a point where I was stopped at a light and some guy [...]

The Long way home

So yesterday I had to go to traffic court in Santa Rosa for the speeding ticket I got on the trip to the Lost Coast with CitizenR. It was a relatively drama free day as I took the day off from work to go. Well it turned out to be such a nice day that [...]

Substitute, Filler, Vegas.

Vegas and I have a very tense relationship. There is so much to do and see and yet I have my favorite places that I end up going every time. It’s like it’s strange and familiar at the same time. When ever I see that continually morphing skyline I know I’m in for a full [...]

Analog answer to a digital question

So here I am in Vegas. Not really diggin it as much as I could, but y’know, I’m coping. I think one of the big reasons is that I’m here working a pretty brutal schedule. Long days that start really early.
As if there is some great sentient will that wants me enjoy myself, we finished [...]

Back to the Lost Coast

So the last time I went to the Lost Coast it was with a group of friends. We were all checking it out for the first time and it was a great discovery for all of us. Since then I have been back in the area once before and I couldn’t wait to do it [...]

400 through the Haze

So I had another rare weekend with no overtime to work. I guess I can’t really call it rare as it has been happening quite alot lately, but whatever.
I kept the weekend open because CitizenR was headed home from her 9 day tour of the Grand Tetons with her dad. They parted ways in Green [...]

M4M

so yesterday I was headed into the City for the weekly Wednesday gathering with all the riding peeps from BARF . This time I was on Mirabelle as she is the most effective weapon to do battle with traffic on the Bay Bridge.
I was waiting at the stoplight to turn onto the freeway and there [...]
