July 3rd
Wow long time no update eh? Well where to begin lets get the big news out of the way:
Most of you know I work for cycleforums and for over a year been working on an idea of making a real womens site. Not one focused on who can have the sexiest pictures, etc a real homepage with real articles etc. Its going to be awesome SO if you are a woman rider, or want to get into riding register at cycleforums and meet the rest of the ladies. We are going to have our own site, name, rider of the month, Women test rides on different bikes, and much more :) Its going to be awesome. Its not just directed to the sportbike community either. Everyone from cruisers, to sport tourers, dirtbikes, to super motard. I'm so excited since I have had these ideas and plans working for a long time now. Okay time for the more personal side :)
Her name is Bella Mille Jimenez (has my b/f's last name) and she is a AKC pug. She is So smart and already runs the household. He beats the crap out of my bigger dog, Trouble and causes such a stir when we go out. It's so funny cause I can sneak her into so many places and when people do realize its a dog they just OOOO and AAAAAA!! :) She is about 5lbs now and we brought her home at 7weeks old. She already knows sit, and lay down, very very smart.
Now to the sad news:
A bunch of us from CFCR were attending Jennings open track day they had in June. Well my boyfriend ended up wrecking my bike due to someone else riding outside their limits. He has a broken foot and is very sore, and the other guy who was just an innocent party has a broken collarbone, wrist, and finger. See what happens when you ride outside your limits? Other people can get hurt. I won't go off on a tangent cause it isn't worth it to me. So now I am in the process of fixing my R6 and getting it back on the road/track. It looks a lot worse than it is. Here is a picture of where the subframe hit a tree.
So I think I will get the website thing on a set schedule of updates since I will be updating the new womens site also. Until then TTYL8R and have a safe
4th of July
Love,

Okay so the updates are real slow up I have a good excuse. Lets see in April I went to another Track Day at Jennings and Todd Trumble Racing was kind enough to turn me loose on one of their 2003 R6 to help break it in. That bike is super sweet on the track. Todd also helped trouble shoot some suspension problems with my R6 and w/in 2 laps I caught the pack and by 2 more laps I worked my way past them. Its amazing how much of a different it makes when your suspension is working for you. I also shaved off a lot of time and ended up in the 1:30's finally. My goal for the end of this year is to be turning some 1:20's on my bike. I'd love to be able to play with the experts but it all comes with time and experience.
My Birthday was May 1 and the boyfriend hooked me up. He bought me a new digital camera battery, gift certificates to Frederick's of Hollywood (my favorite place) and Virgin Records. He, Mark, My brother, and dad planned a big surprise birthday party at Bike Night (since my birthday was on a Thursday). It was fun parting out a R1 :)
I've been real busy the last several weeks working at a new restaurant that is just opening. Helping get business going and getting a good foundation established takes a lot out of a newbie to the game. I was just the lowly bartender but now I am practically the bar manager as I do all the orders/deliveries etc. So that has been longer hours than usual. But the restaurant is a really nice 4/5 star Cali/Euro restaurant with live entertainment and great owners. Hopefully business will begin to really take off here in the next few weeks.
IN other news this weekend Sandy and I are going on a mini vacation to GA. Sandy is going to get his Race License so he can ride for TTR and we figured since we will already be in GA might as well make a vacation out of it. Speaking of trips I went to MI to move a friend down to FL who was going to be Sandy's roommate. The best part was being able to see my good friend Dan who owns Mustangworks Miss all my good friends that I made.
Check out the photo gallery as I will have some pictures from the last couple months events posted.
Almost forgot but my riding group had our Mothersday Ride and Pool Party. There are some GREAT pictures from there. To everyone that missed it, sucks to be you! :) Lots of beer, liquor, food and good company. I want to thank Randy for letting us trash his place!
