Some street riding and Super ART at Miller

Well I went out on one of my favorite rides the other day. It wasn't too fun, there's still snow all over and the road is a mess. In the pic below you can see the sand on the road behind me. I was watching Courtney as he rode ahead of me and there was a cloud of dust coming from his rear tire.



On 04-27 I went to Miller for the Super ART.

What a Blast, unfortunaltly I don't have any pictures of it. I learned a lot there, it was a ton of fun. I'm going to do it again soon hopefully.

It's been a while

I really havn't had time to do anything recently. I made it out on the bike for several hours today though. It's still a bit too cold for any real riding. Today I met up with some fellow cops for a ride to Antelope Island. Myself and Randy were the only riders with license plates! Nolan, Jason and Joey all were riding their new Harleys. It was in the upper 40's but still a bit chilly, once we got out over the water and onto the island, it was down right cold. Antelope could be a very fun place to ride, however the roads are always dirty, there's lots of wild life and with the animals come the cars or "cages" that stop in the road to gawk. The biggest problem I have riding there are the speed limits and the insanly high fines that would come with a speeding ticket. The entire island is posted 25MPH. Lets just say that most of the corners there come to life around 100. Needless to say the thought of a $2000 ticket keeps me riding at relativley sane speeds. It would be neat to see a road race similar to the isle of man there. Wouldn't be as cool of course, but the locale would suit a road race like that pretty well.

Here's some pics, Randy BTW is a girl when it comes to having his picture taken.

The Island

Usually the order in which we ride, cuz Blue is faster

Got out on the Triple and more Mods

Weather's been bad again lately, but I was able to get the Triple registered and out on the road - twice this week. I forgot how strong this bike feels, I guess I got used to the SV's power. Nothing speacail, just rode around town for an hour and to a church event.

I did get some more goodies in the mail.

I mounted up the steering damper today and got to test ride it. I still need to buy a "key" for the tuneboy program. I may wait a little bit as some changes in plans have come up. If it works out, i'll put it up here. Any way the tuneboy program allows me to change the fuel injection map and change anything computer related on the bike, plus do some diagnostic work. Sounds cool.

I ate chinese the other day and my fortune cookie read: "Pleasures await you by the seashore" an omen about my upcoming trip to ride on the Pacific Coast Highway? I think so! I'm getting excited about this trip. I really need the time off. The Disneyland trips arn't really relaxing for me, I like to see the kids have fun, but hopefully this trip will chill me out from all the stress of three jobs and being what sometimes feels like a stay at home dad. I can't wait till the kids are older and I can take them for rides with me.
