I've had better days

Work has been pretty crazy lately so I decided to take a day off and get some riding in.  Let’s just say I’ve had better days.  It started off like a lot of my riding days do.  I hem and haw over where to ride until I land on a route I’m feeling good about that fits into the time and weather.  Usually ends up pretty well.  As a friend pointed out, I’ve had worse days, but I’ve definitely had better.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I think it's time for a new bike.

days off are awesome when your bike doesn't break down.  And I saw a freaking bear!

No picture of the bear?

didn't have time to get my camera out, but I thought the same thing when I got around the bend.  There are pictures on FB somewhere of the bear at the Cafe however.

and I have to say how impressed I am with my luck in the pic above, getting myself in the mirror by fortunate accident.

you're getting your money's worth for sure, sucks to see it on a flat bed.
Hope the side stand survived OK.
I just parked mine yesterday, probably until April.
I'm a ways behind at about 59200 miles.
Lots of dark, dirty, cold and wet miles lately but I wouldn't trade a one of em.

I notice the de-soled boot - your boots look similar to my Dianese TRQ Tour ('cept my soles still intact besides where I ground the toe).

indeed they are dainese torque out boots, the predecessor I think to the TRQ.
Little gorilla glue the other night solved the sole problem.

Palomar on Black Friday? Great idea. My buddy Marco and I rode out in lieu of spending money we didn't have on things we didn't need.

I followed custom this year again and fit in a solid New Years Day ride with Mike and Marco from work and my very good buddy Jon here at Two Slow.  Jon and I rarely hook up because our schedules don’t match so it was great to see him after so long.  The lovely Adell joined us as well, always good to see the both of them.  The weather has been so frigid lately I was honestly thinking about cancelling but Mike and Marco’s enthusiasm convinced me to get out.  We met up a little later than we usually do and headed up into the Malibu hills for the World Famous Rock Store (where we saw Jay Leno but I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough) and Neptune’s Net for lunch.

poor lil 996. :'(

yeah it was pretty beat.  maybe it goes like shit through a goose, I don't know, but it looked like it was painted with a paintbrush.  more than once.

IMO it's kind of refreshing to see a Ducati that's been ridden hard and put away wet.
Or is it abused and neglected  [laugh].
Anyways, a little unusual and different.
Thanks for sharing.
