Lotus = meditative driving

'07 Honda Rebel

Sold the Honda Trail Bike and Yamaha Vino a couple weeks ago and
went looking for something I could go a little farther on. Found it!
Only 450 miles on it... so far.

It's a 250cc (smaller engine) so it gets great gas mileage,
like 70 around town and 80 on the highway.
And the tires don't cost 6 cents a mile,
or roughly $1.80 per gallon of gas used (like the Lotus).

Weekend Driving: Breaking in the Lotus

I drove a few hundred miles this weekend. It's helping me break in my new Lotus. Not really; I just like driving. I went West on Friday to Florence. Nice drive. A few twisty roads. I went kinda East on Saturday and ended up at a park off of HWY 58.

I got out and walked down one of the trails and came upon a river. It reminded me of the creek out back behind the barn in Healdsburg. I want to come back in the Summer when it's hot and go in it.
