231

I have ridden 231 miles on my new-to-me motorcycle. Yesterday I even ran out of gas. This could be traumatic, but I thought that's what was happening, so I calmly reached down and flipped the switch to my reserve tank and continued cruising on the back roads. I passed by the house to go get gas before finally coming home. The reserve tank is the same fuel tank it just sucks gas from lower down. Since motorcycles dont have fuel gauges, you know if you have to switch to reserve you have a very short amount of time before you NEED a gas station.

Today I rode to orange to buy some gloves with fingers, look at bags, and see if I could get my key copied.I took 5212 there to practice constant speed (I still need more practice) and random curvy roads to Louisa - dont ask me which ones. Now I am sitting in the Louisa Coffee shop drinking coffee and cooling off before heading home to get ready for the ball.

FYI in the earlier picture of me on the motorcycle. That is my motorcycle, but the boots, jacket,, skull cap, and purple shirt were all drawn in using PAINT. Sorry to confuse everyone who thought any of it was real.

This photo is from when I test drove it.
