As South Texas quickly rolls into spring, I find myself going on more and more rides just for the hell of it. Spring fever I guess. The more I get out, the longer I tend to stay out. This had me planning a road-trip this summer. I've got friends in the major cities between here and KC that I'd like to see, my plans after that were pretty much "wherever the wind takes me." A coworker is headed to Sturgis in mid-August, as well as my brothers boss (who would be departing from Seminole,...

So I've had this mod planned out in my head for the last...2 years probably. I started it once, but put it on the back burner until I had more time. Well, I finally found the time and dug out the box-o-parts. 6 hours of work later, and I'm ready to put the assembly together (yes, I'm keeping it secret for now!) I get it 95% of the way together, and a wire snaps loose. !@#$. Reheat the soldering gun, fix it, begin reassembly. Another one comes off....!@#$. The good news is, it wasn't my fault!...

I decided since it was supposed to be nice yesterday that I'd take the 9er to the team lead meeting (I had enough time after work to run home, suit up, and take the scoot.)

It rained until well after I got home. I also realized that it's time to recoat...

I decided today that I'd finally ride all the way around loop 410 here in San Antonio. I've lived here for over 2 years, and have yet to hit the south side. I managed to make it a bit over half way before I started to get cold. I decided to change paths a bit and head up 281 so I could get home before it got too cold. 281 is a hell of a lot more fun than 410 is that is for sure. There's curves to the right instead of just to the left! I caught up to a 'Busa, which promptly blew my mirrors...
