We had a great, if short-handed, game against Christine's team "Red Menace" tonight. It was 1-1 going into OT, but no one scored then either, so we ended the game a tie.
I played center with Chris W and Sheila, our two new players from the Green division. They're a really fun line! Though I think I played a lot better on the defensive side of center than the offensive. I had a couple of shots on net but nothing spectacular.
I did enjoy riding the Beemer to the game....mostly to see if I could. :) My gear bag weighs about 25 lbs and, since my stick is short enough to fit sideways, it worked pretty well!
All that equipment should be nothing compared to all the stuff you had on your cross country trip. LOL

Hee, you're right! It actually does weigh a lot less than all my cross country stuff did. ;)

Did you see the hack I did with the Kildala rack and JC Whitney top box, over in F650.com?

I use my bike as a cargo carrier some; 44 pounds of antennas in a 4' box on one trip, a 2KW generator and 6 gallon fuel tank on another trip.
And on the other subject, I've picked up a set of Nordic skates, and need to find some ice to learn to use them.

That rack looks really nice. My Givi one vibrates like mad -- I should look into the Kildala. I bet I can move my Givi adapter onto it without a lot of trouble.
As for ice -- there's public ice rinks all over the bay area. :) I know at least one in Oakland, since a bunch of my hockey friends skate there. You'd definitely get awesome double-takes and funny looks from people who've never seen Nordic skates. :D

Hi Carolyn. Great blog. Just spend about an hour going through all your posts.
My name is Henriette, living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I am dreaming of a BMW F650 GS but I am quite short 5,2 feet and I didnt think this type of model was possible for me - and now I saw the pictures of you on the BMW.
Is it all right for you?
My boyfriend and I are planning a trip from Alaska to Argentina in 2010 and the Beemer would be just perfect for this trip.
Take care.
Henriette
