Biking

I've been riding my bike into work for the past several days as an attempts to save money on gas. I still really enjoy riding around and now I'm looking at a few projects for my bike in the near future. I want to be able to travel longer distances on it, so I'm thinking about getting saddle bags and a windshield, just for longer trips. I think saddle bags and windshields look dorky otherwise. I would also like to have the tail lowered, so I'm looking at the kit so I can do it myself. It shouldn't cost too much. The biggest thing is I need to take it in and get it tuned. I don't have an excuse anymore because I live walking distance from the Harley store. I can take it over there, drop it off, and walk back to my place. Having it tuned for the first time is supposed to make a huge difference.

Usually I don't like to talk about my close calls on my motorcycle. It's pretty much a given that you have them almost every time you get on. You expect it and drive defensively to prevent other people from ruining your day. But last night I had one that was just funny. It was a Cop this time. He turned left in front of me without looking. I gave him a look when I drove by so he decided to follow me. So then I turned really quickly into a side street and u-turned around and got behind him. A stupid game to play, but I went along with it. It was perfectly legal... but maybe I'm just a bit bitter from traffic school still.

Gotta get to work.
