Birthday Ride
Comments (0) 
For my sweetheart’s birthday, I decided to go out and rent a cruiser and take her up the California coast starting from where she lived. I rented a brand new 2007 Honda Shadow Aero. It had 2 miles on the odometer when I picked it up. The bike had a really nice exhaust sound. I don’t like loud bikes like the many Harleys out there. I now know how important it is to have a full-face helmet or a windscreen. The wind killed me when I was wearing the open-faced helmet that they provided me. After riding on the freeway to her house and back home afterwards, my eyes was red for 2 days.
We had alot of fun riding and relaxing up the coast from Long Beach to Malibu. Even took her out through Mullholand and then back down PCH. We took frequent breaks to stretch out. Unfortunately, her back pains got to her at the end so it made it painful to sit longer than the 7 hours we were gone. It’s definitely an experience I’m willing to try again. But maybe not that long all at once. We all that was said and done I brought the bike back with close to 200 miles of riding. Motorcycle rental was provided by Eagleriders. The one in Santa Monica / Marina Del Rey is the only one that rents out the Japanese bikes in the Southland. Most places rents out Harleys or BMWs. They don’t rent out sports bikes if you’re wondering.
