Jamie’s Heading Back Home

Posted on February 8, 2010

My bike riding buddy is heading back to jolly ole’ England after months of job searching here in South Florida. We’re all going to miss the limey bastard. Hopefully he’ll come back and visit.

Farewell old friend, may your future endeavors prove prosperous.

Dreary Monday Morning

Posted on January 25, 2010

This is what Mondays always seem to feel like. Today it just happens to look the same. Overcast and gray though not quite raining.

The weekend wasn’t too bad. I headed down to Delray on Saturday night for Deano’s 35th birthday party. Most of the SA gang was there for dinner at Le Cabanna on Atlantic. It was good to see everyone but I wasn’t able to stay too long after dinner as I was on the bike and riding on a Saturday night is a bit dangerous. Way too many drunks out so I headed home early. Happy birthday big guy, I miss you all.

Gearheads, Rednecks and Sportbikes…Awesome

Last night I joined Jamie for a ride up to what used to be Moroso Speedway (forgot what it’s called now) for some drag racing. Nice night ride on the bikes up, a bit chilly but fun. His buddy Adam was racing his Kawasaki ZX1400 (same bike as Jamie, though race tuned) on the strip against a couple other bikes. We had a chance to watch him hit the strip twice, both times were right around 9.87 seconds. Quick!

Loads of hotrods, slicks, funny cars, road rockets and even a couple supercharged Jeep Cherokees. Loud, smokey and awesome. The scenery reminded me of the Highland County Fair, though regrettably not nearly as many red necks. Plenty of junk in the truck though, haha.

Aside from the 45 minute track shut-down for an oil spill it was pretty bad ass. I shot some video and snapped a few shots. I’ll post the video later.

Still Kickin

Sorry for the lack of writing lately. I’ve been busy with work and there really hasn’t been much to write about. New years was cool, nothing to brag about. The weather seems to be the most prevalent topic lately since it’s been so freakin’ cold here I can’t believe it. 30s in the mornings and it has rarely gotten over 45 degrees over the last few days. Feels like I’m still living in Ohio!

At least the sun finally came back out over the last two days but I have yet to get back on the motorcycle and go anywhere. Way too cold for a quick ride out to the beach even if just to get out of the house.

It’s due to warm back up over the next week or so. Hell, last week it was 83 one day so I took advantage of the warmth and hit the pool for a couple hours with Jamie and Matthew. At least I got a little color back.

There has been surf but I’m not hauling my boards down to the beach in this weather. Even with a wetsuit, the walk back would probably send me into hypothermia.

The Birthday Weekend

Posted on December 16, 2009

Bryan, Me and Jamie

It actually turned out pretty cool. Friday night before I got to hang out with Vinny, Annette, George and Frank over at Vinny’s place. The rest of the evening was a bit of a bummer but that’s how it goes.

Saturday night was a lot of fun. We hit Roxy’s new rooftop bar on our way to Lost Weekends. The rooftop bar was very cool; actually made you feel like you in the city. I ended up running into a couple stunners who recognized me from Halloween as the SWAT guy. I guess I made an impression because they weren’t the only ones to bring up that costume that night.

From there we pretty much bounced around Clematis. I had to stop into Rocco’s since Stacy said she had a shot waiting for me. Can’t let that go to waste. I ran into Rocco who gave me a full bottle of Patron for my birthday. Awesome, thanks Rocco!

Rocco’s, Lost Weekends, Feelgoods, Monarchy, Roxy’s upstairs and Down and who knows where else we went. It was a great time!
