Had a great weekend in the Okanagan Sunshine!

Managed to sneak out early Saturday morning for a burn to Penticton…holy crap…are there ever a lot of bikes on the roads these days.  Love riding between 8 and 10 in the morning during the hot summer days…it’s not so blazing in my all black (I know…what was I thinking?) gear…and definitely fewer vehicles on the road. 

Had been feeling a bit shakey on the bike last week.  Still having trouble pushing through those corners at higher speed.  Chatted with Kathy Hubble Friday night about that…she said “relax and loosen up your arms”  Kathy is a racer and stunt rider…I listen to that girl when it comes to riding tips.  Her words of wisdom and my burn Saturday morning definitely helped ease up the stress and I find when I lean forward over the tank and let my elbows drop…I much more comfy. 

Saw one of those riders that make us all look bad on Friday afternoon.  Tank top, shorts, supersport bike…he pulled up on 2 intersections in a row…at the first intersection on the right side of 2 lanes of traffic…then at the 2nd intersection in the left hand turn lane.  As both lights changed he jumped ahead of highway traffic.  Then on the 2nd intersection where he was in the left hand turn lane then jumped back in to the two highway lanes of traffic ahead of the vehicles…he pulled a huge wheelie and ran on his back tire for at least 100 feet.  Crazy and stupid!  Keep it on the track buddy…that kind of stupid then stunt riding on a major highway past at least 50 cars is why there’s so little sympathy when a rider crashes.  Grow up a$%^&*e!!!

Tomorrow we’re heading to Valley Moto Sport to take out 3 bikes for a ride.  Marissa, Kathy and I will take turns driving all three and let you know what we think.  Not sure what we’re taking out yet…but watch out for three crazy MotorcyGalz on the road tomorrow!!!
