After a quick trip to the DMV, I am officially licensed to ride my motorcycle in the city of San Francisco (oh, the formalities). As a side note, there was HAIL on the way there, a very rare event from San Francisco. It only lasted about 60 seconds, but was kinda fun to see none the less.
Back to the point. Amy and I got up today and since it was sunny, decided we would make our first official journey on the motorcycle. We were going to go to South San Francisco (only about 9 miles from our apartment) but we got to ride on some major roads (280, 380 and 101) just to get there. We got the bike up to about 75mph and the wind was insane but we quickly arrived at our destination, The Golf Mart, and finished our business.
The second part of our journey took us to one of Amy’s favorite restaraunts…Fuddruckers. From there we took off to a little shopping center and then headed back to the city. By the time we got back, it was time for Amy’s hair appointment and then we were fortunate enough that the sun was going down so we headed over to watch the sun set over the ocean. To end the day off right, we went back home, did laundry and spic-n-spanned the entire place.
Let’s go RIDE!
So many places, so little time. Welcome to two-wheeled nirvana!
