Hey guys,
Hope you’re all doing great -and still riding safe and having fun.
Haven’t been on the forum for the last 16 months; crazy busy with work — the whole tech company sale, integration, post integration layoff, rehire by selling company and happy thoughts and cash all the way around.
Me: Still having a great time riding my el-cheapo “proof of concept” 1994 Concours (not my first bike and not recommended as one). I’ll have to put together my annual costs for those who care, but guarantee that my mileage is more than paying for the fun I’m having and for all the commute time I’m saving — and newbies can check my past messages to see that I’m highly skeptical of the “new MC saves me money” argument.
Lots of learnings the past year or so. Putting about 11-12K miles on the bike. Daily rides through the mountains — got some winter gloves for the snow and splurged on a perf leather jacket for the Augusts heat. Had some fantastic rides up the coast with my son on the back (even at 13, still a favorite outing — though I know I’ll pay the price soon with the “why can’t I have my own bike” argument). Riding a bit faster than before, but still getting passed in the lane split by guys who are in a bigger hurry and must have to be home sooner than myself — haha.
Anyway, hope all my old BBMC friends (Elwood, Ben, Munch, Weapon0, Mega, Ranette, Sangria and others) are keeping the rubber side down and riding safe.
Take care and ride safe,
SCRider
