Life on Two Wheels

I started my summer internship today, and after a full day of riding in the rain I am really excited to not have a car for a while. Especially now that I have my new, to me, ’78 CB750K that I have gotten used to riding. I have ridden in the rain before, but never like today. Not that it was raining particularly hard today, but I was just raining all day. I woke up and it was already raining, and it is still raining tonight.

I finally got some rain gear to ride in last weak! I got the Joe Rocket RS-2 Two Piece Rainsuit (http://www.joerocket.com/catalog/index.cfm/235/439/Suits/RS-2_Rain_Suit). From what I can tell it seams like a great rain suit… for the price. It definitely kept me dry, but it isn’t the best quality. Today was the first time I used the suit, and as I was putting the suit back on over my dress cloths after work the zipper on the jacket started coming unstitched form the jacket itself. I’m not too worried about it because it has about a mile of Velcro over the zipper so it will stay together. Also the zippers on the legs to let you get your boots on and off, or in and out, are slightly annoying to use. Like I said though, great for the price, 65 bucks to keep you dry isn’t too bad.

A couple months ago I got sold my car leaving me to drive the “Green Hornet”, my 1972 Honda CB350k4 cafe racer project that was not rideable at the time. Since then I have gotten the green hornet back on the rode and off again due to a user error I am still too ashamed to talk about.

I have wanted to start this site since I sold my car. I don’t plan on buying another car until I graduate from school, at least. So here it is, somewhere I can talk about what it is like only owning motorcycles. I realize that there are plenty of people that go on living with only a motorcycle or even with out any transportation other walking and public transport, but I don’t live in a place with public transport or where you can walk to the store and back in less then an hour. This should be an adventure for sure…
