Thank You Global Warming

Today was an unusual 70 degree January day in Northern California. That was the good news. The bad news was that I had to work today. Usually the amount of tools prevent the use of the Moto, but today I couldn't resist.

I was rewarded by the almost perfect riding conditions. Finishing my required task in record time, I took the long way home. Summertime is usually the preferred season of riding, but i've always been a spring and fall kinda guy myself. Its far easier to correct a bit chilly than it is to deal with too hot.

As I purred along the backroads of Lafayette and Martinez, I pondered on what to write about. Knowing full well that my blog is really lacking for regular updates, i've resolved to keep up with it more.

Even now as I write, I can't really think of a "hook" for this story; a method for keeping it in touch with the spirit of the blog. After all, this is SUPPOSED to be a safety-conscious writting effort towards motorcycling. I promise that I'll get back to it, but as I glided down Bear Creek road this morning, all I could think about was how much fun this was; the gentle purr of the Suzuki DL twin underneath me, the cool air and lack of traffic, and the feeling of happiness for the opportunity to enjoy it all.

Thanks to all who read my stuff!
