Been riding to work every day this week, awesome weather. It's nice wearing a jacket feeling safe without sweating your ass off, I usually go without after it's mid-70F+. Anyway cruising 50+ through a 35 mph zone this morning, and the bike just plain died. Looked down, oh hey, fuel light is on! Whoops how did I miss that. Luckily the nearest station was only about 100 yards ahead. Little bit of morning exercise, no problem. Fueled up and fired off.

Had my winter gloves on the last two weeks. Definitely getting colder in the mornings. Been wet nearly every day too. Dark, wet, and cold commute from now on I guess.

Bump!! I take my wolf wx90 to work everyday on the road are ignorent when it comes to motorcycle drivers. I don't have to pay insurance, get tags or spend an arm and a leg on fuel. Everybody else drives gas guzzling monsters while I take in the savings.

I rode my OTHER scooter to work today. Scootie's kickstart has been broken, again, and I couldn't leave him be. Swapped to a smaller Naraku variator and drive face, popped the bendix back in and he fired right up.

Rode to work all week. While stopped at light today, engine went up and died. I got off and pushed it off the road before light turned green. My carb fell off! All I had for tools to fix it was my house key. It worked well enough to get me home. Noticed the inside of the coupler looks melted and/or torn, not sure what caused it. Took the extra long route home yesterday, and almost got ran over twice. TWICE, for the very same thing. I don't know if these dip$hit$ deliberately turn the wheel and hit the gas even before you've gone by or what. Locked up the rear on the first occasion, with a handful of front brake. Man that pisses me off, even when I'm in a cager. It scares the hell outta you on a bike - I've assumed a couple of times (years ago) that the offending driver actually did see me so I just kept going. Man those were REALLY friggin close calls, because they actually DON'T see you. So on a bike, you can't do anything but hit the brakes, and hope that gives the bozo enough time to register your presence and let off the gas pedal. Rant done. Anyway, weather forecast looks crappy for tomorrow, back to the cager.

Ride to work is getting very chilly. Time for the thermal linings to go back in.

Came home for lunch in the truck and it was so beautiful a day I took the Scoot back. Loving it!

Bump for my first time ever riding to work on my 2009 gy6 swapped Honda Ruckus. I also managed to bring my little dog to work with me(like I always do) but this time in my messenger bag in front of me. Everything went extremely well. Looking forward to do it as often as my schedule and weather allows.
