B.Ling talked to me: April 2009

I went and look for balloon today but it is too windy. So I keep going north and stop for gas at San Clemente cuz it is 50 miles from home and it looks like a good place to stop and then I go another 10 miles or so and go to San Juan Capistrano but I don't go to the beach I go in land and instead, I take the 74, the Ortega Highway which they have re-built so the windy twisty turns parts look like a Europe road where they do not seem to know how to make straight and narrow mountain roads. So they look like Ortega Highway.

I was going to go there and have apple pie cuz they got good apple pie at the restaurant but I slow down and go in the parking lot area and I notice that there is way too much wind. And that is why there are not all those bikers at the biker bar a couple miles back. They have a nice view, but before I look at it I get me a cup of coffee. They have bottomless cups but I only have one cup and then after the food, I have one refill.

I have chili because I am chili. See, I wanted to go here so I can practice to take the picture of the good food for the tv show and I suppose I should call that gal up and tell her I am getting better, maybe tomorrow, huh?

Now, if you look at my bike, first of all, you can not see my indecent license plate because I stood so the sun shine on it but then also, look at the shadow beside the bike. I put my helmet on the seat and then I turn around and take two picture of the Roadhouse sign and the building establishment and turn and my helmet is on the ground on the right side of the shadow about 4 feet or 5 feet away from the motorbike.

So then I pick up my helmet from the ground and I am standing on the other side of the bike and I put my heavy leather gloves on the seat while I put the helmet on, and the wind make the gloves hit the ground about 4 or 5 feet away from the bike except this time in the OTHER direction!!! Righteous wind! And it swirls a lot too. My bike has the slippery fairing and so I do not notice it when I am riding, but standing there like that, it would have been hard to stand on one leg, the wind would try to blow you over. That is why there were not so many bikes there today this afternoon. They are smarter than I am, huh?

The chili is good, the view is outstanding, the people are nice, and they won some kind f award because people vote them in on some contest on internet. I forgot what contest, but I voted last time I was there. A year ago. I will go there again for the pie next time.

After I go down the 5 curvy miles, oh I forgot one part, I look for something to say while I eat the chili and I think, that it would be funny to say that the road is so twisty and turny that they even have a 360 degree turn but that is stupid nonsense and I think 180, but that is a ordinary hairpin turn, so common so I think maybe 270 degrees turn is good and I giggle for being so silly. But then!!! A couple miles down the Lake Elsinore side of the hill is a road sign that shows a 270 degree turn!!! And it is such a turn too. The road drops so fast that when you get done with the turn you are facing the road above you and then you make a hard right and keep going. It is a very steep hill and that is a awesome turn.

And so then I go to the other side of the lake and head south past Pachango gambling dancing and flirting place (some chic told me women go there to pick up guys) and I go home past escondido and wild animal park and on to where I started from. I have gone basically in a big circle. Total round trip for this short ride is 155 miles back to my place.
