12/8 – Project: Winterize (hah!)
I’m back from vacation! I thought I’d be productive and put some of cold weather gear on the scoot. This is, of course, slightly hilarious in California, but maybe there will be a couple chilly nights....
Let’s Get Reacquainted, Bay Area. Sept 8-28, 2014.
Just to clear up any confusion: Fear not! This is not the end of my trip. The Bay Area is a convenient place to pause to finish leftover illustration work for a chapter book (ah, remember that?) and maybe rest up a bit. Much of my extended family on...
Car Detouring and San Francisco. Sept 2-7, 2014.
This map isn’t actually representative of places traveled in this post, I just wasn’t able to keep my GPS tracker plugged in for the rental van because there was only one jack. So, this map only tracks scooted territory. When I heard Tim would be in the area for...
11/20 – Intermission
I’m going on vacation with my family, and taking a break from daily drawings. Drawings with resume on Monday, December 8. Happy holidays!...
11/19 – Stormy
Lonely heart today, missing people who are not near. Maybe it’s the rain. Not every day can be exciting, sometimes you just catch up on things…or perhaps things catch up to you....
11/18 – Progress
One of the most satisfying feelings in the world is seeing improvement. This aerials thing has been an uphill challenge, but today we reviewed a move I attempted in maybe my second class ever. I was surprised to realize I found it much more easily this time around, and...
11/17 – Perfect Cap to a Cool Ride
Long ride back to SJ today, via the ever lovely Skyline Boulevard. I wondered whether my scoot would feel lacking, after spending all day holding back the beast of a Triumph. It was certainly not the case. Scoot was comfortable as ever, even the little plastic rattling parts it’s...
11/16 – Bonnie Bonneville and the Dirtbags
Pete offered to let me take his Bonneville today to check out the Dirtbag Challenge. He took my Vespa just in case I didn’t like the Triumph, but no worries there. What a blast! It took a few blocks to reacquaint myself with motorcycle mechanics, but after that I think...
11/15 – Crashing the Party
After some PK gym time, I hightailed to SF to meet Pete for a fundraiser. As of this trip, I’ve become much more well practiced at crashing any given event knowing only one person – surely a master level skill for Class: Introvert. Much fun was had, I even...
11/14 – I can tell we’re going to get along
Toni from San Jose BMW and Vespa invited me to her family’s home for dinner, and I was all too happy to accept. She’s a firecracker, and we could have talked stories and bikes all night! I even got to try on the custom super low Corbin seat on her...
