There's nothing like riding a motorcycle...

Seriously, there's nothing like it. It's just plain amazing. My friend's birthday was this past weekend, and he wanted to take a ride. So, we met up a few days before and chose the ride we wanted to take, S6 to Palomar Mt. A friend had told us about the road, and we decided to check it out. I found this website that gave a description of the road. It said this: "Palomar Mountain is one of the most favored and challenging roads for motorcycles in Southern California." as well as " It features several very tight corners, lots of elevation changes, and a few decreasing radius corners. The S6 is a road you don't take for granted. It requires your full and complete attention for the entire 7 miles." My immediate reaction was, HELL YEA! So, on Sunday, we took our ride up said road. Let me tell you, it was something else. The first little bit was challenging, just getting the feel for the turns and curves, but after that, we were absolutely destroying that road. We were taking 15mph hair-pin turns at 35mph, and on the way down the mountain, we were killing 40mph turns at about 75mph. About half-way up the mountain there's a guy that takes pictures of bikers taking corners. You can find his website here, which is where I got this baby:
Now, I cropped it down so that it would fit in this tiny blog area, but the full picture is here. I'm looking pretty damn sexy, if I do say so myself! If you can't tell, I'm leaning hardcore right there. My right knee is about 4 inches from touching the ground, and I'm probably going about 50mph. I didn't know that they were taking pictures, or I would have dug in even farther, or tried to pose ;) But, anyway, if you have the time and the money, and don't have a family to provide for, get a motorcycle. I'm single, and I have to say that this is the best purchase I've made. And don't worry about thanking me, because I'll just say I told you so :P
