| Well peppermint doppio and I have decided to call it quits. I'm now going out with her sister, hot black espresso.
| | |
| Life is good today. I have been drinking a new coffee drink I thought up. Its a doppio (double) espresso with a shot of peppermint. I like it quite a bit. The taste alone opens your eyes. | | |
| Sheba and I have been to 7 states with about 4500 miles on the odometer. Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming.  This is me and Steve, the previous owner of Sheba, just before I left Oklahoma. I have not driven anything with 4 wheels since then (5/26/06) with the exception of bringing my car home from the airport. Obviously I won't be able to keep that up forever but its an interesting statistic. Last Friday at midnight I couldn't sleep so I went up in the mountains and drove some twisty roads... We did about 60 miles that beautiful night. | | |
| Its been a while since I updated so here we go. I've been riding my motorcycle everywhere. I have not driven my car since I got the motorcycle except to bring it back from the airport! It is more fun than I should be allowed to have. When I'm on an open stretch and I lay on the throttle, my body slides backward on the seat from the acceleration and I have to hang on with my hands stretched out in front of me. Its the closest thing to flying and I feel like superman only if I run into something I die. Its awesome. I'm planninig on riding the bike to Idaho in July.

| Well, I'm back! I left OKC at about 7:30pm CST and headed
west. After a brief stint on the legendary route 66, I left the
busy roads and headed for the panhandle. As I rode west into a
beautiful Oklahoma sunset, lightning flashed to the northwest.
The thunder of my motorcycle drowned out all else as I passed through
sleepy little farm town after sleeply little farm town. The wind
from the south buffetted me, making me I would stop in some of them to
rest my body and have a snack. Finally at 4am I really needed to
sleep. I stopped in Boise City, OK. Apparently its
pronounced "BWAZ" instead of "BOY-SEE" like the city in Idaho. I
slept there until 10:30 and proceeed on. Up through more more
little towns... Lamar, CO. I finally hit I-70 and was headed west
when I saw a sign "CO-86 Scenic route to Denver." In 5 seconds I
had decided to take it. it was about 80-90 miles through some
really nice country out toward Castle Rock. Before I got to
Kiowa, I saw a funnel cloud forming. The clounds were up about
8000 feet and the funnel was extending down about 1/3 of the way to the
ground. It didn't touch down, but it was exciting. I didn't
really do much in the way of "twisties" but I hear they are a lot of
fun. Stop and go traffic in Denver was interesting, specially
since I can't flat foot the pavement on the KLR. Anyway, I
finally made it home. It was a great ride :)
