Nothing sucks more than getting out on your bike on Sunday only to have to go back to the drag of work on Monday.
Sunday: Wake up when I feel like it. Head off on the Duck at about noon. Note smile starting to develop at edge of lips. Hop onto Topanga to Old Topanga. Enjoy bright sunshine and lack of traffic. Bike feels good and I feel good on it. Self satisfied smirk decidedly evident. Contemplate Stunt, but decide against due to time constraints (MotoGP this afternoon!). Opt for Latigo Canyon again. Note slight increase in speed resulting in significant increase in stability mid-corner. Manage one particularly good line through a series of curves. Burst into maniacal laughter at the sheer fun I'm having. Hit friend's house and catch the last bit of the MotoGP race. Opt for roundabout route home just to spend more time on the bike. Split traffic and feel moderately comfortable about it for the first time.

Monday: Hit snooze button. Contemplate not going to work. Hit snooze button again. Continue until horribly late for work. Drag self out of bed, slog to work through an hour of traffic. Get just enough rain on freshly washed car to leave water spots. Arrive to cube with smelly coworker blasting Mannheim Steamroller music again (apparently has never heard of headphones in shared office environment). Attempt to fix irreparably broken system. Get told to start working 9am-9pm because project is behind schedule. Tentative weekends. May need to "adjust" vacation schedule to "ensure coverage." Leave at 9:30pm feeling like you accomplished nothing.
Time: 3 hours
Miles: 100

Dude, nothing feels better than having confidence and self control on your bike.
hehe.
I went out to Florida last week and rode Ben's YZF600R. That thing is sweet.
