Sturgis!

, , , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Long day yesterday, which is why this post is a day late. I started the day off at the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for a saline drip. Apparently, I am not as young as I used to be and with the extreme heat I had been dealing with I got severely dehydrated. I thought I had been drinking enough water along the way, but I guess not. My picture of the day for day 224 is of two gentlemen I met at Mule Creek Junction, WY. They were with a group called Free Ice Water Services and they were providing …

Rocky Mountain High

Day 223 of my picture a day project, and day three of my ride to Sturgis. Today I rode from Grand Junction, through Denver and into Cheyenne, WY. The height of my journey would have to be the Eisenhower Tunnel, since it is above 11,000 feet. The down side was that the wind was so bad going out of Denver that it blew my helmet cam off. Really sucks as I had gotten some great videos. Oh well. This photo was taken shortly after I realized that I was no longer the owner of a helmet cam.

Last night I rode to Mesquite, NV. I stopped in Henderson and met a friend for dinner. He then joined me for about 30 miles. It was the slowest I have ridden this entire trip (but worth it). I started the day off by riding through the Virgin River Gorge on I-15. That place is amazing. I used my helmet cam, so videos will be up after I get home. I happened to have a bug hit my lens with messed up 10 of my 30 videos. My day 222 picture of the day is what a guy looks like …

Sturgis or Bust

Three months ago I took a test ride on a 2010 Harley-Davidson Limited, in Sioux Falls, SD. I was so impressed with the bike that a couple weeks later I owned one. I now have 3,063 miles on it and I am getting ready to more than double that number, beginning now. Day 221 of my photo a day project shows my Limited cleaned, gassed up, packed and ready to go. If you happen to see me, be sure to say hello.

Bath time for baby

Heading out to Sturgis tomorrow, so decided to give the Limited a bath before we leave. I know the first thing I will be looking for when I arrive is a bikini bike wash to get all the grime off her from the ride out there. I have a great route planned and should have some beautiful scenery to photograph and video between here and there. My picture of the day for day 220 is of the Limited after she has been rinsed off, patiently waiting for me to rub her down.

Day 219 of my photo a day project. A good friend of mine, that I had not seen in far too long contacted me and asked if I wanted to hang out. I naturally said yes, and we decided to meet up and go out for a late lunch, early dinner. As I have always spoken highly of Pancho’s in Manhattan Beach, and for some reason I had never taken her there, it was decided that this would be our destination. In keeping with the theme of the weekend, we took the Night Train out to Manhattan. My photo of …

Feeling Neglected

To be honest, I never dreamed that this would happen. Prior to May, my favorite around town bike was my Night Train. It is slim, sleek, light and very easy to manipulate through traffic. The perfect city bike. Then I got the Limited. While this bike is twice as big in bulk and weight, it is a pleasure to ride, and I actually find myself taking the Limited for trips around town. I decided that I need to start spending more time with the Night Train, so yesterday I started using her for all my tooling around town. My picture …

Starbucks Dinner

, , , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

A few weeks ago I saw an ad on Facebook targeting Starbucks’ fans that lived in California. They were giving away coupons to try their new Artisan Snack Plates. Their offerings seemed to be on the healthy side and since I had not had dinner yet, Buddy and I decided to walk up to the local Starbucks and try it out. Since I was kind of hungry I went for the one that looked to be the most filling, the chicken and hummus on wheat flatbread. It was okay and probably better for me than a cinnamon swirl pastry, so …

Happy birthday, Buddy

, , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

Four years ago today, Buddy was born in a barn in the middle of Nowhere, Indiana. Seriously, you could not find the location if you tried. My GPS could not even help me find it. Luckily, I happened to be visiting Tanya a few days after he was born. I knew immediately that this was a puppy that I wanted to make my own. What I did not know at the time was that Tanya had already decided that he was the puppy she wanted. Lucky for me, she just smiled and said I could have him. It has been …

Anyone that is paying any attention knows I have a thing for Gu Gu Sushi and Roll in Hermosa Beach. They have the freshest fish and the most unique rolls anywhere. They are all melt in your mouth good. Last week I went in and discovered they had named a roll after me. Today I came in and found that they had renamed the roll the gotbaddog.com roll. Talk about viral marketing! My picture of the day for day 215 is the menu at Gu Gu Sushi, advertising the gotbaddog.com roll. It is a very tasty roll.
