Coming out of London Drugs on Broadway with my purchases. I wasn’t too surprised to see a cruiser rider pull a uey to come and park by me – after all, there was a free spot. I wasn’t expecting to have any other connection with him.However, as it turned out, he’d mostly come to check out my bike, as guys do (come on, she’s nice, but look at me too!), asking questions about the belt drive, single-sided swing arm, single…
So, last week my horn stopped working, something I discovered when somone decided that my lane was better than his and that I didn’t really need my portion of it (I had to resort to sign language!). I’d also had some problems with Penny stalling out repeatedly while warm. So I took her into the shop on Saturday to get these things fixed. While I was waiting around, I decided to wander over to the other motorcycle store across the…
I’ve just had sorta a scary outcome from this accident – on Monday night I spent the night in the hospital due to a pulmonary embolism – turns out a blood clot formed in my leg and part of it migrated to my lung. So, I’ll be on blood thinners for at least the next 3 months. As one of my friends just told me, I need to extract the reverse horseshoes from my a** – this is getting to…
I went down again. Yeah. I feel like a real loser. 🙁 It was a sudden stop, and I guess I grabbed too much front brake, and the bike slid out and I went for a ride on the pavement. I think that the fact I need new tires, and that I still was lacking confidence because of the other crash were contributing factors.This happened Sept. 29th. Luckily it was only a block and a bit from home, so with…
Well, finally got my bike back and am riding Felt so good to be on it again yesterday!! Woulda gone out today but I had rugby and I’m always kinda woozy after the game – well, that and there’s something so purely right about beer after a rugby game. The bikes still a little worse for wear, and I need to get new front plastic (well, back’s cracked a little too, but no biggie), but I’m back!
Well, I had my first crash – luckily it wasn’t very bad – I’m pretty much OK – some very pretty bruising, bruised or cracked rib, jammed fingers, but really nothing very bad at all. The bike is a little more messed up but fixable – she has a broken handlebar and some plastic damage – she’s at Clearbrook motorsports being fixed right now. Happened last Thursday on a group ride with BCSB folks. Took a corner a little to…
Woman and machineEach completing the otherThought becomes action I just got my first new bike! Very, very exciting. It’s a red ’98 Ninja 250!
