Abode of Clarus

I've reached a breaking point, if you will. I love my car, but not only do I enjoy long drives more on two wheels, but you can't beat getting 40+mpg as well. I've made a decision in my mind to go back to two wheels in time for next Spring. I would keep my car, but would limit the drives in it. Commute on two wheels, and do trips to the Jersey shore on the motorcycle. I guess I am planning a little far ahead, since I've got quite some time before I have a home, a place to ride, and a place to park. I'll keep you informed on the decision process, however I did find a great bike, if only it was for sale.

I had a wonderful week vacation in the US for the 4th of July. I guess you never know how much you miss the simple life until you spend a few days walking around Philly with no place to go, and lying on the beach with nothing to worry about. It's always a shame to come back to work (and go back to the UK), but I can certainly say that my batteries are recharged and I'm ready to put my nose to the grindstone again.

Come one come all, why don't you take a few looks at my new flat...

(Isn't my key awesome?)

I kept getting mocked because it's apparently Old City, not Old Town (like in Sin City). I think Old Town has a much better ring to it.

This is a little walkway outside The Dark Horse pub in Philly. It's a good place to take a group of people to hang out if you're in the area (the pub, not the walkway) and for the ladies they have StrongBow on tap. I haven't had the heart to try most of their food, but the fish and chips isn't too bad.

Goodwood. I don't really know what to say. I have over 150 pictures that I took there. It was a mind blowing event of motor-sports extravaganza. Like Otakon I could post an entire section on what went on. I think I'll be content with providing a few pictures when I can't think of anything else to post.
