Ride up Highway 35 to Alice's

Finally, after the great front suspension work done by elskipador (BARF) i went up to Skyline on the ZR7. Took I280 --> PageMill Road, H35/Skyline Blvd, Alice's, Skyline Blvd, CA92, 101S and back to home. I really really need to work on my cornerings. I am not looking perfectly through the turns, specially the sharp uphill turns, causing me to go wide. Skyline was pretty smooth and i was able to turn perfectly at a costant speed of 55-60mph. Its just the road on the FootHills Park was too windy and not smooth. I strained my hands pressing too much on the handlebars. I really need to work on the cornerings.

The bike is complaining on the carbs again, The idle just doesnt remain on cold starts and the choke lever when pulled in on hot revs up the rpm to 3K. I did run 67 ml on 4 gl of gasoline today. Need to call shawn (elskipador) again to take a look.

I stumbled on one interesting blog of Joy Dutta. Avid motorcyclist, multifaceted talented guy, he is truly passionate in what he does. He has several cross country riding trips to his basket of achievements and his descriptions on them are mind blowing. This is exactly what i want to do. I just lack the courage and spirit to do so. Its time to change myself.

I think i am getting a little bit of help with the Ramedev Baba Yoga postures am doing. Back pain has siginificantly reduced and chest pain is 30% gone. I still have some chest pain though and am trying desparately hard to minimize smoking and finall quit.

I still get sad looking at the Gixxers on road, such a foolish thing I have done which cost me a fortune.

Duh !! i still dont know what to do with this marriage thing. Should I or should i not. My parents are frantically looking for a girl and i have been advised to keep a constant look (its like a hunt for animals) on the BM site. This is like a huge project with no positive directions yet :)
