2 years of riding... what i've learned
I was randomly going through blog posts and I'm glad I found this! I recently hit my 1 year riding mark and I can already see how much riding a motorcycle has changed the way I drive my car and how much more I really notice around me on a motorcycle. Great post!Posted August 7th, 2015 at 12:23 PM by BlueDragon -

Track
This is adorable. And to think, you wrote this after your third track day. The man that wrote this post would be BLOWN AWAY by the man you are now. Your 250 is now a beautiful race bike and you hammer on that thing. So cool to see how far you've come.Posted January 26th, 2013 at 01:00 AM by Trailerboy531 -

Track
You really captured the essence of my experience with track days too. Every single word of your blog hit home to me, but especially this single phrase:
"nothing i've experienced comes close to what i felt that day."
I also loved when you said this:
"it was after that that i realized something. its not the fear of failure that gives you such an amazing adrenaline rush. it's the process of failure leading to success."
Well-written!Posted June 29th, 2012 at 07:57 AM by ally99 -

2 years of riding... what i've learned
Thanks: what a great read.
I'm a new rider, but people like you are opening my eyes to the full motorcycle experience much quicker than if I was just doing it all on my own.
Just today I was stuck behind a couple cars that were waiting at the lights which just turned red. It was ok though. I slipped my Ninjette into neutral, popped open my visor and glanced around in this area I'd never been before. There was a very old, beautiful-looking church, stone walls, sprawling trees lining the streets and autumn leaves on the pavements. I knew the lights were going to turn soon, so I took one last breath of the cool air before going back into my alert riding mode and dropping into first gear, ready to pull away. I imagine many of the other people in that queue were just holding their breath waiting to get rolling again.
It's no longer about the destination it's about the journey!Posted September 26th, 2011 at 12:59 PM by akima -
