Saw this last night! Have to say it made me really uncomfortable but it drove the point home! It took 5 years to get this released...why you have to wonder??  If you haven't seen it, you should!!

Saw it yesterday and I agree. Very uncomfortable to watch. Everyone needs to see it. 

Brown Butter Cookie Company in Cayucos.. Yummy!!

Also Cayucos is a small cool beachside town to walk around for an hour or so.

Take an MSF street course. It's a great class in basic rider operation and safety and a small bike is provided. Usually yamaha xt250, honda crf250L type bikes though some classes have street oriented bikes. It's usually a 3 day course. Then, ride your neighborhood on your own bike practicing what you learned and getting seat time. I generally tell people that ideally, you want to start on a small and simple machine to get some hours on. A bagger isn't ideal but plenty of people have started on them so it can be done. 

This is the best advice. I have been riding for 33 years on the street. Mostly to commute from OC to LA doing 50 miles a day. Also I have done a lot of fast canyon rides. 

One of the biggest things to remember is that you are completely invisible. I have looked drivers right in the eyes and they still come over on me. Also people will pull out on you at a cross street, because they won't see you. So whenever you approach one of those areas always assume they don't see you. I have been really fortunate... In 33 years I have only been down once when I hit oil making a right turn. Happened so fast that I couldn't do anything. Ended up high siding and hitting the ground in about two seconds. Also I had someone cross the carpool lane. Lucky I stayed up on that one. I put a nice dent  in their car and of course she said "I didn't see you"

Head on a swivel at all times.

Love you @FOG

It's Stockholm Syndrome

"Stockholm syndrome is a proposed condition in which hostages develop a psychological bond with their captors. It is supposed to result from a rather specific set of circumstances, namely the power imbalances contained in hostage-taking, kidnapping, and abusive relationships".

Glamis for four days...

We were just talking about this in Glamis this past weekend. I think I'm somewhere around 16 to 17 trips and probably close to 50 days. I still have two more trips planned and if the weather stays around 90 I will keep going. I think last year I went into May.

So, it is not the voters. We had the recall votes. His Aunt is Pelosi and his uncle (her husband) is contracted with the US Postal service... Enough said. This state is run by one thing. Corruption.  

I'm the 2%..

Started cleaning everything yesterday. I’m giving everything on wheel a serious diet.  Pulled everything out of the trailer wadi all of the sand out from the last trip.  Then getting rid of all the extra stuff I haven’t touched since I put it in the trailer.  Going to do the same thing in the motorhome.  

Everyone have a great and safe weekend. 

Trying to make it lighter so you don't get stuck?
