And Then There Were Three...
I picked up another Honda XR650L today. For those of you playing the home game, I now have 3 Honda XR650L motorcycles in 3 different time zones.
The reason for the new bike is that a car is just not a realistic solution to the travel puzzle in San Francisco. There's just no place to park a car at the flat where I live on Russian Hill. So, with a bike, I hope that I'll be able to get around town more quickly and find parking places more easily. The trick, of course, will be to navigate the city streets without getting killed.
This is a very dangerous city to drive in. Half of the people are only partially in our world. They're listening to ipods, tapping on the GPS, chatting in their cell phones. And that's just the drivers. The people walking are so crazy I don't know where to begin...they're wandering around wearing shoes that don't match, talking to themselves, wandering aimlessly in and out of traffic.
And of course, there are bikers and cable cars and other motorcycles and drunks and women and...welll..you get the picture. Pray for me.

I'll pray for you baby - don't hurt anything valuable.
