Ride to Mesquite with the crew...

Last year we bought a nice Yamaha V-star for really cheap from a co-worker of ours. At the time, Kyle had never ridden a motorcycle, and it was quite a funny sight seeing him try to get it home (he tipped it over trying to go through a roundabout). He decided to take the Motor school offered by the PD both to get his Motor Certification for riding the police Harleys, and to learn how to drive the motorcycle we bought a little better. After passing the class and getting his endorsement, he began riding our motorcycle. After that, it was pretty impossible to get him to drive anything else. We took it on dates, to Sunday dinners at the fams house, and even to get groceries (imagine me on the backseat holding gallons of milk and bags of food, haha!). It was especially nice to save money on gas too! Kyle also got a leather jacket and a full-face helmet so he could go on daytrips with other officers/co-workers who also had motorcycles. Last month, before it got too cold to ride, they took one last trip down to Mesquite to have breakfast. They hung out for a bit and then took the scenic Old91 route home. Now the bike is parked in the garage waiting for warm weather again! These are pictures from the Mesquite ride.
