#watching Ride or Die about the #NW200. I don't have a motorcycle license nor any wish to ride at the kind of speeds these guys and girls ride at but films like this, as with TT3D: Closer To The Edge, are strangely compelling. #Motorcycling

#Introduction

I’m in #infosec. I currently live in #NovaScotia but moving to #BritishColumbia this summer.

I have many dogs. They’re all small, one so small she only has three legs. She was injured before we got her out of the Texas rescue system. I learned these doggos are called #tripawds which I think is very clever.

My main “hobby” is #motorcycling. I currently have a Vulcan Nomad 1700.

I have worked remotely from my house for almost a decade. The life balance can’t be beat.

Had a late lesson today, 6pm-7:40pm. Though I was well-rested and the conditions were OK (it was dark, 3 °C and slightly rainy, visibility was good) I wasn't in my element.

I think I'm not comfortable in the dark and it messes with my basics, like shoulder checks and keeping/creating distance. I really messed up in those departments a few times today.

Learning's not a linear process. Still: this is annoying.

I was out on two pretty wheels tonight for two hours from 4:30pm.

Fairly unfriendly conditions! 0 °C + fog + dark, about 500m of sight. Quite the eye-opener what such humid coldness does to focus, even with proper winter gear.
Now I know better how that affects me and what I need to pay extra attention to if I end up in those conditions again.

Not the easiest ride but overall I did okay and learned things :)
