Default It was a nice day; I took the long way home

Normally my commute to work is 2.5 miles...today it was 25 miles. When I stepped outside after work and felt the warm sun I decided to take the long way home. I'm on the outskirts of town and we've got a lot of open roads and a levy nearby. Since most cars don't drive on the levy it was great having the road to myself and opening it up. Such a great sound and feeling. Next time I'll take a couple of pictures.

Left it parked there.... it thats where the bikes park during bike nights in the summer. Plus it helps when you ride dual sports with a cop from there...

Yes, that's handy. But it irks me to no end when joe regular dude gets hassled by LEO for minor things, but a fellow LEO gets away with it and more. Even worse, one LEO in a group encourages the group to do something that they would otherwise get the night stick for if he weren't around. I know those guys myself, and want to respect LEO for what they do, but things like that burn away at my respect level.

He is about the coolest cop ive ever met. He doesnt abuse his power at all. He always says "my job is a cop, thats not who i am" We actually got pulled over with him in the truck on our way to colorado. He wasnt driving. It was funny though.
