I made it! I started riding my motorcycle to work (mostly the Wing) every day. It began on Dec. 26th 2006 and ended Jan. 8, 2008. I rode the bikes completely through the 2007 year! I did decided to call it done when Lorraine needed a ride to work. She’s going through leg rehab. At times it was tough but what a great experience and with many stories to tell.

The month of December has been cold and wet. It’s probably a good indicator what next month weather will be like. Last year January was the toughest month.

I’m almost at my goal of riding one year straight to work. I’ve only had a few weeks of the year that was rough whether it was hot, cold, foggy etc. Just a little over a month to go!

Took off for the annual SLO (San Louis Obispo) run. We ended up getting stuck for a long time due to one lane traffic flow. The traffic was backed up so far you couldn’t see the front of the line!

I’ve been taking the scoot out for lunch several times a week. Since I’m on the bike I typically go by myself. This means anywhere that looks good to eat I just park and give it a try. I found this Teriyaki place not too far from my building. It turned out it is owned by Filipinos and they serve some down home grub. I’m going to work my way down the menu, I’m at menu item 3 One thing that deserves mentioning is that they have motorcyle only parking right out front!

I’m still riding the scoot everyday to work. There had been some days where it was super cold, even for me. I think the coldest yet was 23F. Even though I’m completely geared up the cold cuts in once I’m on the open highway. I can’t wait for the warmer months to come!

It seems like I’ve seen quite a bit more accidents too. These are not the little fender benders but the flipped over totally caved in roof variety. I’m sure out of all the ones I’ve seen this year someone was probably still in the car. Everyone needs to just slow down…

I’ve been working for my new company a whole month now

Vincent and I went to go to the Easy Rider show held in the Sacramento Convention Center every year. On our way up I-5 we stopped and helped out a biker that ran out of gas. We took him to the closes gas station for petro and brought him back to his scoot. One thing about bikers, you always help one another out because you’ll never know when you’ll be needing it.

Show was great as usual, Vincent picked up an interesting shirt…

Just before we gassed up the wing on our trip to Yosemite a Hummer must have filled up. I can’t even imagine paying this kind of money in one fill up!

Bugs, taking a quick smoke break in Groveland California. This is a little town on the way to Yosemite, super nice area with lots of shade to relax and gas up.

We bought a Goldwing today! A 2005, chrome everything! I got a lot of flack from the guys in the VTX club. They all said I was too young to be riding a motorcycle like that. It’s all part of my master plan to take Lorraine across the country on a motorcycle. Take a month off of work then away we go… How much cooler can that be?
