On the road again...

Is it too early to say that? Probably.

I rode again tonight...and this time I posted a blog post right after...all you readers, I think there are 4 of you out there, I'll do my best to be a little quicker with it from now on. How long do you think that will last?

I headed out, it was hot, but I threw on the leather coat (which dad gave me, old school but pretty cool), the gloves, the boots, and of course my helmet - I won't be riding without it. That's the deal I made with Sarah. I'd be more afraid of what she would do to me if I didn't wear one than what the road could offer up. At least the road would be a quickl way to go. Ok sorry mom, bad joke.

I actually installed my first accessory today too. I cross, draped and secured above what I suppose you could call dash and wrapped around my bars. It makes me a feel a little better looking down and realizing what's important, what's at stake and where my heart and head should be when I'm on that machine.

I cruised down to Steak N Shake - it's no more than 3 blocks away and a straight shot down the road. They have a weekly cruise in that brings out the likes of old Buicks, new GT500s, old GTOs and new Challengers...a very well rounded show. My second favorite, a white Chevy Monte Carlo SS from 1985...big engine, loud pipes, gotta love that. Not to be outdone, a cherry Yenko Chevelle SS...wow. Meticulously restored, looking factory perfect, 427, chrome engine, pristine paint...this thing was gorgeous...I digress, I suppose this is a motorcyle blog, but if you can't appreciate that...you need to read something like Martha Stewart's Living or Twilight...Twihards don't get your panties in a bunch, this is afterall a gearhead blog.

Obviously, I couldn't let the day go to waste, so I put in about 15 more miles, curves, stops and even a few hills...crazy I know.

So another day in the books... the jitters are subsiding. I'm cautiously enthusiastic. All I have to worry about is everyone else. Another mile in the books, and another day on my journey.
