New years here is a really big deal. Fire works is the name of the game. People go nuts! Drove home tonight about 9:30 and smoke is everywhere allready. The fireworks thing I think goes back to the asian influance here ... scaring away the spirits ... parties about every 10 houses and everyone from lttle kids to Grandma has a lighter in their hand. Its starts about sundown slowly and builds to a frenzy of explosions at midnight. Well gang, I hate to tell ya but the weather here is SICK! ( in a good way ) Should be sunny tomorrow like it was today, 83 degrees! HOT for full gear anyway finally finished the sanding & polishing of the front rim ( sorta finished but my fingers were tired and I wanted to ride ) So I got 2 new tires on all spit shined up and ready to ride NY day. I burned the old tire before pulling it and would you know the batteries went dead on the Digit cam so I pulled this pic from the video cam. I hope to hook up with about 10 guys NY morning and ride about 300 miles. ( we will see who shows up ) This will be breaking a 15 year tradition for me as I allways surf on new years day and listen to U2. Hmmmmmm maybe I'm growing up ------- NOT! anyway have a great & safe Holiday and lets hope for some good times in 2003. - Aloha (this shot was taken today .)
