There's something highly amusing to me about this photo. It kind of looks like all the self-important cafe racer Instagram photography, doesn't it? What's actually happening is that I'm waiting for my friend Sidney to get his DR-Z 400 started so we can ride home from dinner. I was kind of staring at the ground like a moron. And if I'd known there were going to be pictures I wouldn't have the bungee-cord net on there. Oh well. At least the CB looks good. We're going to cross the 4000-mile mark today. So far, I have no regrets.
