Just got done putting about 60 miles on the bike. Nothing quite like it, and I thought I drop a few lines about it. Reality got ya down? Games aren’t giving you that satisfaction you need? Nothing good on TV? Just throw a leg over your bike, and ride. It’s been my after-work pasttime of late.

I get home around 11:30pm. Just about when Heidi is ready to crash out and of course just getting home from work, I’m usually neither in the mood to crash, or work. I really should be working, but lately the motivation has been sucked out of me. Don’t worry, Joel, I got your email, and will be starting work on your new GUI here soon. :)

Anyway, my usual path on my night rides lately take me downtown to check on the drunks as I get down there just about when people are calling it a night. Do a few laps around the downtown area, and then up Speedway all the way east, cut south and hit the interstate and head back downtown. Repeat as necessary.

Tonight I had a nice encounter with a VERY nice Supra. I think he was out getting some speed therapy as well. He gave me a demonstration of what that car can do, and it is quite impressive, I must say. I gave a couple speed demos to a few guys in a truck on Aviation hwy, and of course I had to return the favor for Mr. Surpa… My demo ended up at a red light right next to a cop, however… Thankfully he didn’t want to hassle me, or didn’t notice that I came up really quick in the mirror. heh.

It’s funny the added positive attention a bike can give ya. You’ll never get tired of the people who give you that nod of approval, or give ya that “pop a wheelie” sign. :) The best are the kids who just go nuts pointing and whooping at your bike. Half the time the parents look at you with that disapproval like your some kind of deviant because you choose to ride, and the other half of the time you’ll get a grin from them. Ahhhh, it never gets old. :)

Anyway, it’s time for me to get to bed. Another night of boredom put behind me. So, yeah, if you haven’t ridden, I’d highly recommend hopping on a bike either as the pilot or a passenger and just ride. :) You’ll be glad you did. ;) It’ll melt all your troubles away — at least for the moment.
