I took care of an oil change for my motorcycle today. It was a sweat-fest in the garage since we’ve been having triple-digit temperatures here in Texas, but I am so glad I got it done. The old oil was pretty gross so I’m sure Kiki appreciates the TLC!
The weather warmed up enough that I could enjoy a nice motorbike ride this afternoon. It was super-fun and I even rode on some new streets which were pretty fun! The stretch of road from the photos had a few nice curves and wildflowers to enjoy. What a nice Saturday afternoon. 
I got Kiki inspected at the local mechanic today. They are so fast, and a few of the technicians also ride, so it’s fun to chat with them. Motorcycle inspections are only US $7 here in Texas. I don’t know how much they are in other states, but it can’t be much cheaper, right?
Anyways, I bought some motor oil and a filter so I will do an oil change soon. I love my motorbike so much, but I know there’ll come a day when we’ll have to part ways. But for now, let’s enjoy riding together!
Today I went for a nice ride around town with Kiki, my motorbike. I didn’t bring my GoPros so I was just focused on riding and having a good time. I rode over to downtown Austin, then took Lamar Blvd north all the way to Parmer and then back home. The beautiful weather made it a perfect day to be out with Kiki!
I went for a long ride this morning with Kiki, my BMW motorbike. We went north on Ronald Reagan Blvd, which used to be very empty several years ago, but is now crowded because there are so many new houses in the area. It’s really sad!
But even with more traffic, the ride was fun! When I got home, I was pretty cold though, so a nice hot bowl of instant ramen hit the spot.
