Main Ride: " The Priest " a ' 94 CB1000, black. So named as it was acquired en route to a Judas Priest concert. Rock on. Past Rides: 1981 Virago XV750, Black underneath the fine patina of grime. 1982 Nighthawk CB650SC, Blue with pretty 4 into 4 pipes, and decrepit side panels. And I rented a Sportster on vacation in Hawaii once. About: Currently residing outside of Philadelphia, and as of yet the lone member of the PBMC East Coast Chapter. Having followed my Swee-T on her career enhancing coast swap, I got lucky and found a great job at the University of Pennsylvania managing a clinical immunology lab. My lucky streak continued when six months later we were engaged Also a boon, was my introduction to the the friendly and nondenominational (though Euro-bike heavy) local Philadelphia Riders . Unfortunately, on my first group ride with this sporting bunch, I ground The Priest's topside into the pavement after failing to negotiate an otherwise nondescript strip of dirt. Perhaps this was my atonement for drinking coffee from Dunkin Donuts, or perhaps my usually nimble reflexes had been slowed by my new fondness for cheese-steak sandwiches. Fortunately I escaped with only minor bruises, and have been able to rebuild the stalwart Priest without too much fuss. I miss my Seattle peeps, but try to get back for at least once a year for the semiannual Hoh River Trips . In the meantime, I am learning what real cold-weather riding means :( ~dans (2007) |
