If an idea is sufficiently silly, it?s worth doing at least twice.
So, why wouldn?t I get another motorcycle? And why wouldn?t I buy it from Shentar and ride it from Hayward to Palms myself? What?s wrong with basically learning how to ride on a 450-mile weekend ride?
Nothing, I tell you. Nothing.
What follows is an incredibly brief pictorial depicting day one of this adventure. It features Darcy, a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 500R (aka EX500 aka GPZ500S) that photographs orange but is actually more yellow. Yes, really, fuck off.
Better tool around a parking lot for a bit first, to get a feel for the bike and its controls:

It?s yellow, I promise:

Motorcycle parking is pretty great:

Shentar threw in a pretty sweet keychain, one I was actually going to buy:

Made it from Hayward to King City, 90 miles short of my Pismo Beach goal:

Possibly the worst proof picture ever:

Imma? go sleep now.
