[2009.09] Dakar First Rides

09.09.2009 - picked up the Dakar on monday, this was the first time i actually rode it for something other than to and from work... even though this was technically on the way home from work. this was also the Dakar's maiden voyage off-road, my first ride off-road on a bike designed for such, and my second adventure trespassing on the only dirt road i've found in San Jose. 09.19.09 - took the bike for some "real" off-roading to Metcalf Motorcycle park in south san jose. what a trip! $7 to get in, i only lasted about a half hour before being completely sapped of all energy, still shaking from the adrenaline rush, having had the most fun half hour on a bike to date. the park made it clear that i need to get some mods done to the bike to make it comfortable for this type of riding.

  • this wasn't actually at the park, but on the way home. i seriously saw this thing in the middle of the road while driving about 30 mph around a corner... i thought to myself "was that a damn spider in the road? no it couldn't have been..." so, i turned around check it out, and to take photos of it.<br />
<br />
he (or she?) was walking along the road, completly oblivious to me taking photos of it. i had to put my foot in front of it to get it to stop walking, so i could get this non-blurred detail shot.
