Open Air

Oops! That lid came off the other side of the bike but I like riding over there as well.
Sunday we rode out to Petsmart and tried on some new goggles cause mine are getting scratched up. The style I liked they only stocked in hot pink....I ain't wearin' pink.

First Goggled Dog?

"In 1903 Horatio Nelson Jackson and driving partner Sewall K. Crocker became the first people to drive and automobile across the United States.  Somewhere in Idaho, Jackson and Crocker obtained a dog, a Pit Bull named Bud.  Newspapers at the time gave a variety of stories of how Bud was acquired, including that he was stolen."

 “It turned out that the dusty alkali flats the travelers encountered would bother Bud’s eyes so much (the Winton had neither a roof nor windshield) that Jackson eventually fitted him with a pair of goggles.”   Wikipedia

Bud

Alright Already....Let's Go Already.

Sunday In the Park....

 So Sunday afternoon a friend said, "Hey, let's ride down to O.J. Watson Park and get a couple shots of you on your motorbike.  It was a great blue sky day with a slight breeze out of the southwest.  I ended up taking a nap while and resting up for the ride back while the guys sat around a shot the breeze.

The #271 tourist train went past us a couple time that was pretty cool also.

I Got Goggles!

So I tried on several pairs of goggles this weekend and thought I liked the look of the extra-small googles the small goggles did not pinch my nose and let me blink my eyes so just like shoes and anything else, fit matters.  Besides after reviewing the photos again, the extra small goggles made me look a little too Ray Charles.

too small

Just Right

On my wish list

Better Googles... $95.00

Less Expensive $19.99

K9's on Bikes

Well when him started talking about getting a bike for me to ride it was about a bike with a sidecar.  But when I am riding a 4wheeler down a country road I like to be looking over the handle bars nose into the oncoming wind...which gives me a greater sense of actually riding and driving the contraption myself.  Not saying I have given up on the idea of my own private riding compartment but for now think I will stick to sharing the seat.

Oh, finally I got to ride my bike last night for the first time.  We rode through Riverside Park and then around Botanica and the new twistie blacktop course around it.  WooHoo!  Lets do that again!  On my wish list is a pair of goggles and maybe a helmet. I got a checkered bandanna yesterday from one of our riding coaches.  For those that might be concerned about safety issues on me riding a bike well I have a harness (accessories are necessities) that I buckle into that is attached to him's belt on a short tether so I am securely in place even when cornering.

Let's Ride!
