Really Mother Nature?!



Dear Mother Nature,

Honey you are cramping my Moto Mama style. As much as I love spring flowers, I am really tired if your showers, your cold/ hot flashes and greyness are really starting to fray my moto nerves too. So please send this soggy Moto Mama a good stretch of hot weather - lets say until December????

Affectionately,
Scooterpie

I love the flowers that are blooming in the garden and so apparently does PupZilla.  She patiently sat there while I took that photo, but I did catch her nibbling a bloom or two.

Not so mellow yellow

Well I am on the hunt for a new jacket. My current jacket is too big, almost 2 sizes too big now. I am looking at the TourMaster Transition 3 in either hi viz yellow or silver or possibly even blue. I am leaning more to the silver because it won't show the road grime as much and still allows me to be visible, more than my black jacket. I really liked my transition 2 it worked well in all types of weather and at night the reflectivity is fierce and you could definitely see me, it was actually better than the hi viz traffic vest I put over top. So what do ya think?

Art of riding

For the last three days our Victoria Police Department hosted NAMOA 2013 (North America Motor Officers Association) conference. Officers honed their skills and participated in skills events. I moseyed out for a peek today at the skills competition and it was spectacular. They make technical riding look like art. The cone patterns were tight and intricate. These riders made it look easy as butter melting in a hot frying pan - slick! The motorcycles were varied; Harley, Victory, Honda, BMW, and Kawasaki. It was a wicked day of riding. I think my favourite part was the tethered pairs riding it was fierce!
