It was one of those perfect Calif days today...about 80 degrees and perfectly clear..people out in force at the beach..
Rode up the coast to Santa Barbara then cut across the mountains to Frazier Park..about 250 miles so far....
then down the mountain to a bar/restaurant I usually go to for lunch..
I have about 3500 miles on the bike and am really getting used to it, kind of like were partners now. the bike is completely stock and I love listening to the sounds she makes, the trans whining as you go through the gears, valve train winding up the moan as the revs climb and the intake starts sucking air in and the burble of the exhaust when you back off....so to the crazy part
I am in the bar really hitting up a conversation with two gorgeous blue eyed blonde sisters from minnesota and all I can think about is the above.......and I want to get back out on the road..( I know I'm fking nuts , but it was one of those superb california days) so i finally through down a ten spot and tell the sisters to have a drink on me but I really gotta leave....
I road down PCH to malibu then back to ventura..and loved every minute of it....then got home and couldn't put the bike away...I just stared at it for about 20 minutes...
then had to write this because I'm thinking what a perfect day it was and that this 10 is thge best bike I have ever owned...
So have I lost it...
