Motorcycle Trips

       In 2003 I decided to bite the bullet and learn how to ride a motorcycle. Why? The Y chromosome, of course. I use it (the bike, not the chromosome) mainly for commuting, but every so often manage to take it out for a trip to nowhere in particular. It's hard in this area though since the roads are really crowded in this area on the weekends (i.e. lots of people yapping on their phones) and I have school and work during the week. Every so often though, I get a day off during the week and off I go. 

    On the left is a picture of the bike as I bought it originally (November 3, 2003). On the right is my bike on August 11, 2007.

Every so often, I even remember to bring my camera! As you can see, its not very often. (And we shall not talk about the time I brought the camera and forgot the Compact Flash card inside).
