• Night Ride

    I just got back from taking a nice long night ride on the Honda 750.  Boy was it fun.  I felt mostly safe but definately wanted to be home before the 2am bar closing.   I didn’t go very fast, mostly 20-35 and sometimes 40. 

    I went down to the University via nw 16th to nw 21st st and crossed University Ave behind the President’s mansion.  I went straight pass the basketball complex where Billy Donovan’s team practices and hung a right on frat row.  I followed frat row around towards Lake Alice, then turned left onto Museum Road.   I took Museum all the way to 13th street. I turned left and headed north to 2nd Ave, then right.   I then took sw 2nd ave into downtown.   Then drove through several streets downtown and saw which bars had people in them and people hanging out of them.    I saw lots of Police and can see why it is crazy making sure everyone gets home safe at 2am when everyone is kicked out.  

    I eventually headed west on University Ave across 13th street, past the University and zig zagged from University Ave to nw 16th ave.

    The motorcycle felt good to ride.  It is a cool night (46 degrees).  I like the lights and sounds of the Honda 750.    I also like how easy it is to quickly get from point a to point b.   I like going down streets and seeing houses, people and things I have never see while in my car.  It’s like riding your bicycle in the countryside, but cheating because you have a 750 horse power engine. 

    What a way to end a great day.
