NOTE: This site's focus has shifted to Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy role-playing games, and fantasy fiction.

The rest of this old content, motorcycling, aviation, and the like, is still here, just not browsable from the main navigation anymore.

I haven’t ridden much since I got back from my trip, other than some commuting to work. I spent a few hours over this past weekend riding to Detroit and back. I got a late start and it quickly turned warm and muggy. The bike performed great, however, and although I wouldn’t say I was ‘in the zone’, I had a smooth ride with good control, speed, and lines through my corners.

There were a lot of people out on bikes, mostly cruisers. I had to pass a string of a 8 or 9 that were riding 10 mph under the limit. I don’t understand that behavior, but then again, they were all dressed as pirates so maybe it was some kind of impromptu parade.
