The clock keeps ticking

Posted by Jason / Admin on Thursday, 19 August, 2010

… and I still don’t know what I am doing next week. Starting to feel under the gun to decide now. Realizing that being social is likely not something that I can control at this point, but rather just something that will come from getting on my bike and looking for an adventure.

I’ll be honest, the prospect of a multi-day ride scares me. My sense of safety is really challenged when thinking about riding without a partner or at least a known entity at the end of the day. Solo rides are inherently more dangerous for a multitude of reasons, but the main one being for the mere fact that you are alone. I won’t dwell on that any more than what needed to be said.

So, as of now, who knows where I’ll end up…. and who knows how I’ll get there. All I know is that over the next week I will meet more people face to face than i have over the past 3 years. I may have to leave the state to do that or I may not leave any further than day-long round trips in state. Who knows. The important part here, after all, is just to get OUT. And out, my friends, is exactly what I intend to get.

A tale of a thousand miles…

My weekend began last Thursday afternoon around 3pm, when I logged off work, and finished packing for my flight down to Orange County. Prepare yourselves; this one is going to be a bit long and picture heavy (more pictures will be added when I get them from John’s camera as well)…

As many of you may remember, I recently purchased a new 2007 Honda ST1300a motorcycle just prior to making our move up to Oregon. Because I don’t trust shippers or moving companies, I opted to leave my new bike behind at John’s house, and make the trek down later to pick her up. Well, this weekend it was time to retrieve her!

I warned you above… click if you care… I mean dare…
