Hey remember the End of the World Ride and Last Party on Earth? Yeah, the one I threw for the Mayan “apocalypse” on December 21st. Well I met Johnny at the Alley Sweeper yesterday who actually made a video of it. Thanks man!

Wheelies abound!

Tomorrow, Sunday April 14th… the fifth annual SFRC Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro! Pancake feed starts at 8:30a, kickstands up at 10a at 633 N. Tillamook St. Most people ride little BRRAAAAP bikes, but you can ride whatever you want. PREPARE TO GET MUDDY! Check out the 2012 Alley Sweeper youtube video if you want to know what you’re getting yourself into. I’ll be there. Gettin’ dirty like a good motolady would.

Jörgen Hansson (from Sweden) sent me this- This image is of a historical moment. The first time ever my daughter ride a motorcycle. She has just started to practice driving, for a driver’s license. You can not miss out on how happy she is inside the helmet. Feels good with a small contribution to the regeneration of bikers. Congratulations of having an awesome daughter, Jörgen! And thanks for helping continue the love of motorcycling.

Lots of bikes out and about today and a lovely 90 mile jaunt on the Maxim. Ended up stopping at Skyline Tavern because there were so many people there (about 4 more than pictured).

Best thing about riding today (besides riding in general) was getting to wear my short leather gloves. So much more comfy than the winter gloves I have.

Photos from the ride yesterday to Sauvie Island and Skyline, 13 bikes… mostly vintage. If my favorite meal were smoke, today would have been perfect… I was eating it behind Alex’s bike up front. As he said, “Hope you guys liked the smell of that bel ray two stroke oil today, my wee 350 used all it’s ponies setting pace!”

I was always hesitant to go on group rides with more than 4 or 5 people because I thought logistics of riding with so many people would be difficult. But it’s amazing how seamless it is. For the most part, everyone interacted flawlessly on the road. If you wanted to pass, you passed. If you wanted someone to fall back, you signaled. It was a great experience, I’ll definitely be doing it again soon.

I found this old BMW ad and had to modify it.  If you want to be happy for a lifetime… ride a motorcycle.
