Aw man, this is really #hashtag intensive!
I wanna make sure people know I bake #vegan treats, though I'm a very chill #vegetarian girl.
I ride a #motorcycle and love to drink #tea each day.
#California is my home and I love it here. I'm 15 min from the (cold) beach and it just makes me so happy to live here. I'm also from #Canada so North side represent!
I #travel a bunch, mainly for watching motorcycle races! This year will probably be Portugal :grin:
@Troll TT is my fave! We went to IOM last year and plan on 2018!
Then BSB, then WSBK, then MotoGP.
I became less invested in AMA when they had horrible tv coverage, and lost women riders (who I love to cheer on).
I'm scared of bicycles, you can die on those things! Hah!
@xanthia Yeah, went to a few AMA races. Not realizing that was the hayday. It went to crap just a few short years later. Road America and Barbers. Both AWEsome tracks to ride too! I did see MotoGP at Indy once. Pretty cool. I don't follow any of it anymore :(
@xanthia Street Triple was high on my list for a time.
@xanthia California seems like a better fit for a motorcycle fiend! I used to have a '78 Yamaha XS750 Special, but I could only ride it for 4 months of the year.
...also, one time the engine lit on fire while I was riding it down the highway. The switch to fuel injection was a good one.
@xanthia I had a broken petcock that leaked too much fuel into the cylinders, which then overflowed into the oil reserve. Once the engine warmed up, it spit a mixture of fuel and oil up the breather line onto the top of the hot engine and I was riding napalm. Luckily, I was wearing full gear so I could brake and bail without getting hurt :)
@Phancypants where's a toasted nuts emoji when I need one? :wink:
@xanthia Hah! I'm going to be honest... they did not cover that situation in rider training. I was between 2 small towns with volunteer fire departments so they sent out about a dozen fire vehicles as training when I called rescue!
They seemed really disappointed that it had gone out before they got there.
@Phancypants Oh, that would be sad riding only 4 months out of the year!
I've only had an engine blow up on the highway (while I was lane splitting) with no fire. Damn! That would have sucked!
@xanthia Now I'm picturing you pinballing between busses shouting "It's mechanical! Not me!"
@Phancypants Hah, that was almost kind of accurate, with more surging than pinballing!
@xanthia AMA, MotoGP? What are you riding?
My main years ago was a frankenstein mid 90s ZX6 I also did a fair amount of road trips on as well as trackdays.
I gave them up for bicycles. I'd say it's safer but not really on the roads around here :(
