Commute Shoot


This is a video I shot today by securing a GoPro camera to my chest. It's basically just short clips taken from my commute home from work, from the Port of L.A. to my street in Long Beach.

Santa Monica






This past weekend me, Adam, Seth, and Seth's girlfriend Corrina rode from Long Beach, up around the Palos Verdes Peninsula, up the coast through Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Venice Beach and finally to the Santa Monica Pier. It was quite a long, awesome ride - but we were all pretty exhausted and cringed at the thought of going back home through the thousands of stop lights and stop signs - so we took the 10 to the 405 back to Long Beach. It was a great ride, and the Hornet cruised at 70 mph all the way home on the freeways. Not something I want to do often, but it was nice to see what the ol' girl is capable of. And many thanks to Corrina Mantlo for taking these shots. Can't wait to do it again :)

50-Mile Smile



I took this week off because I have a stockpile of leave days I need to use. Later in the week, Kristen and I are heading up to Yosemite, but until then, I'm just tinkering around the house. I took the Hornet south this afternoon, to Reef Point Dr., just outside of Laguna Beach. Google tells me that's 25 miles, so a 50-mile round trip. That's the farthest I've taken the bike since I've owned it and I was completely impressed. The ol' girl performed beautifully.
