Video it Frank, I can't stop laughing just thinking about you dancing on your knee scooter! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Tonight's one of my few nights off -- spending time with my dad up here, but also doing a lot of work in preparation of my move to Mexico City in 3 weeks. If it's truly 90 Sunday I'm going to jump in the lake. Going to Blake Island with my dad Saturday.

Went and checked out Backfire. Some nice folks, some great bikes (several SOHC 4s in great shape that put my ratty 550 to shame, Daytona RD400, mint KZ1000, a beautiful Triton and quite a few other old Brit bikes) and more than a few monstrosities. Todd, one of the organizers, has said that the number of "club affiliates" has been on the rise and I could certainly see that. But it's also cool to have an event where pretty much everyone is welcome, from 49cc mopeds to bagger hogs.

I went to the Sunset at 6 to get a ticket for the show, but it was sold out. I've seen Guitar Wolf a couple times, so I wasn't that bummed, especially since a buddy had just texted me to tell me his band (Banquet) was playing at the Kraken, so that's what I did.

I'm gonna miss this weather when I head back to Phoenix...
