Happenings of today

Today I actually rode the bike in the parking lot of lowes, I was all psyched up and then i actually started riding. Turns out lowes parking lot isn't that big and i couldn't get up that much speed to actually go through the gears, but i did get to practice my turns. We went back to the neighborhood and dave took me out around the streets and i was actually able to make it up to 3rd gear! woot for me! i only stalled once too! got to take some turns, do some stop signs, interact with some 'real' traffic, so it turned out to be a pleasant experience for only my 2nd time really on the bike. I will admit that i do need alot more practice until things start becoming 2nd nature to me, but i'm confident that i will get there.
Now on to some fashionista type talk. I got my awesome helmet that matches the bike, i even found some black and red gloves too. The next thing i need is a jacket, i found the perfect jack that i want, it's the moto bombshell womens jacket by icon, in black. i would also like the chaps (yes, i said CHAPS) but thats a whole 'nother store..lol. The jacket is 500 bucks though, a little steep for the price that i want to pay at this point, but i know that a jacket is a good investment. My main goal is to get the icon moto bombshell helmet (of course, it matches the jacket!) but being a 300$ helmet, i think i'll wait a while, till my skills match the coolness of my riding gear :)
We are doing an FRC night again this friday, and we are also celebrating amanda's birthday! (Happy b-day Amanda!!) so I am really looking forward to that!
And also, can you believe that i'm actually making money off my blog? whenever someone clicks on the google ads i have up, i make money. Some people doubted me at first, saying that there was either no way that people would click on them, or that the payout would be really low. but they were wrong! woot for making money!
btw.. WOOT is a pretty neat word..lol. woot woot!
