OH WHAT A DAY!
Ive been quiet the past few months, i mean, i havent written much, but ive been loud and slaying LA with Stasis is Death. the bike has been holding up well despite a few war wounds: chipped side cover, a constant rattle, which i discovered is my tach vibrating, and a blown out light on the speedo.
Ive left these things be as i cant bare the thought of being down a bike, having to go back to four wheels while these issues get resovled.
Despite the wounds, yesterday was a very busy day. I met up with the company in mid Los Angeles and rode out to Long Beach to check out the motorcycle swap meet:

HOWEVER! heading back to los angeles i felt a sudden SNAP! Pulled off the freeway and discovered that i had lost my tail light!!!! the epoxy, which is meant to hold the tail light to the rear cowl softened, due to the so cal sun (global warming), allowing my tire to rip it off!
after unplugging what was left of my wire harness and throwing it in my pack, the company and i pulled back onto the freeway, destined for my studio to put my bike to rest- even i know that riding without break lights or rear blinkers is too dangerous! not five minutes later, my dope rear view mirrors filled up with flashing red and blue lights!!!! the california highway patrol decided i needed to be pulled over!
i got pulled over not for missing a tail light like i assumed but for having a tucked license plate! i ended up getting away with a verbal warning for everything because i dont have a motorcycle license, which i was given a citation for...
sunday was quite the day, not to mention that jimmy the captain's cb550 broke down 4 times on the road and we had seen the aftermath of a fellow rider who had been t-boned in an intersection, rushed to the hospital. WHOA!
but i guess its time to go legit and get my license...and clean up those war wounds in the meantime.
