First Group Ride

It's technically not a group if there's only two people, right? We had three on this one. After meeting up at my house we headed off to the Lake. The first stop to see my dream house! Love it. Next was at the shooting range - just to watch. Every 10 seconds or so we saw skeets fly through the sky followed by a series of "bang!"

I'll have to look up the standard hand signals b/c all I knew how to do was signal way ahead of time and gesture to slow down before pulling over.

Winging it isn't always the safest path. I pulled over fairly quickly shortly after getting onto a higher speed limit road (still within the capability of the 80cc Honda Elite scooter one of us was riding). My worry about my friend on the Kawasaki 250 R was the opposite. With twice the engine size as my Yamaha Vino 125, I was worried he'd speed by too quickly to notice the two of us had stopped. That sorta happened. He had to loop back a bit to get to the next stop which was a place for a photo op. Boy, cell phones these days take some awesome pics! We used theirs b/c mine can hang with the rest of them. The LG Versa might've been cool when it was in the Transformers movie, but it's museum material now.

We finished off the day with some $1.08 soy milk. Nice and hot for that chilly afternoon. It started to sprinkle by the time we got back on to head home. Wishing for better weather next time.
