I Got a Little Cocky

And I paid for it. I felt really good and the snow/road conditions were perfect and I was taking some corners pretty fast, motocross style, you know with the foot out to catch yourself. Well I did it once to often and I started to go down before my MX foot could catch me. No harm done, just a boot full of slush.

Speaking of boots, I wore the Answer Kashmir for the first time. Warm dry feet make your ride much more enjoyable and these shoes/boots even fit my goofy shaped feet. Look for a more in depth review when I've ridden them some more, so far I like them a lot.
I rode over to Hoyt Park to look for Russell and his Tosa mofos, but no one around and no tire tracks. Maybe I was early/late/showed up to the wrong place. Maybe next time.

The remixed version with a few extra edits and properly adjusted audio levels. Still haven't been able to figure out the glitch problem. Enjoy

The Ronsta Ride

Ronsta Ride from Bikesafer on Vimeo.


Saturday was a slushy mess of a 2 hour ride, but Sunday brought sun and a cold wind for the Ronsta Ride. We were started with 6 picked up one on the way and then lost 2 along the way due to cold feet or other commitments. A great way to spend a Sunday.

This video is a quick edit on new software that is leaving glitches in the finished product. The music is also a little over modulated. I'll try and get it recut when these troubles are resolved.

A Day In The Sun

Finally a day above the single digits or teens. It almost felt like spring. What a great ride.
I wanted say that up front, as I've had some folks question why I ride at all if I have "so many" problems on the road. I love riding and today was a great day on the road.

I had a couple close calls today, only one that warranted a call to police. I have some thoughts on that and about the Elm Grove idiot who told me to ride on the sidewalk, but that will have to wait for another day.

I kind of raced a train today, well I was coasting and just thought it might make a better video than the trailer almost hitting me.

The Brookfield cops from the last incident told me they issued a citation. I still have to get a copy of it to make sure, but the irony is if he fights it, I could be called as a witness by the same prosecutor who told me I have no right to be on the road at all. Probably more likely he would dismiss it or plea bargain it down. We'll see.
