Otherwise...I would be dead already. Whatever happened today to the people of NYC. Traffic everywhere more than I have ever seen, people behaving as real idiots, more than usually. It felt like I was in the third world country. I am having a cigar now on my balcony and contemplating my ride for tomorrow. Cheers.

Carry on Dude. Enjoy every cigar, and every ride. The best to you.

That is one of the reasons I left NYC in 1985 for the sunny south

I remember sitting at a table in my bedroom when I first heard that song. I was listening with a '7 Transitor Portable Radio' while gluing together a model of a Gemini spacecraft.
For some reason, I remember the moment.

I drove a cab in the city in the early 70's ... its never been a sane place to ride.

Huh. And I thought it was just that I've been away for 15 months... Waaay too many people. :razz:

I love this city but sometimes it gets under my skin. Its been two days in a row already. What is it? Star alignment, global warming, lunar activity? :???: Installed my pedestrian slicer today and took her for a spin up and down Belt Parkway. There is a stretch of the road between exit 1 and 2 that if there is no cops, you can go pretty fast for a minute or two. :-D Beautiful views of New York City bay area and Verazzano Bridge

Cool cat looking for a kitty....that's one of the most under rated lines in a song I reckon. Went to Melbourne last week (a big city compared to where I live). Went to the Triumph dealer in the CBD, one block away some dude got hit by a car and there was a pool of blood sitting there. This image has stayed with me all weekend. Cars, bikes and people don't necessarily mix. I applaud you for listening to your inner self and not riding if you don't feel you'll make it. If more people did this maybe the m/c deaths stats wouldn't be so bad. Ride safe dude and remember always wear clean underwear.

Malibu · 05-13-2007

I lived in Brooklyn for 13 years and finally left 2 years ago. I moved to Southern California and am lucky enough to have wound up in Malibu. I ride mainly on the twisties of Mulholland Hiway and the canyon roads, PCH etc. I cannot conceive of riding a bike in NYC—it never occured to me quite honestly. When (on the rare occasion) I would see someone parking a motorcycle, it seemed surreal actually. NY is a bad place to walk—let alone drive.
