Got called out for an urgent work project in CA -- 7 weeks in Irvine. I didn't have time to ride my Duc out here, but I was able to borrow a bike from a friend for the duration. I've always liked Guzzis, but haven't owned one. But now I get to be a Guzzisti for a couple of months and spend some quality time with one. It's a 1990, with just under 100K on it.
Anyway, I'm enjoying myself. The job is intense with lots of hours, but I'm still getting in the two things I miss about CA -- lanesplitting, and good Mexican food.
Also, my parents, sisters and their families, daughter, and lots of friends from the 40+ years I spent living in SoCal, are all within 75 miles of me, so I'm getting to do some visiting.
The company will fly Kristine out a couple times a month, and we'll gallivant around two-up on the Guzzi seeing people.
It's all good. I'll be happy to come home to NH when it's over, too, but I'm having fun for now.
Here's a couple pics of the Guzzi, plus a bonus pic of me next to Dave Aldana's leathers (at the Larz Anderson museum in Brookline, MA).
