So you're in the nice area of LA; awesome for riding. I've been basically quarantined since January, brother. Ha ha. Chemo clinics don't close, but it's going to get riskier keep going there. Just finished the last treatment of my 3rd cycle yesterday, and have 3 weeks to recover, but I'm only half way done. Hope I didn't catch it, but will have to wait 2 weeks to be sure (crossing fingers). Need 3 more cycles . Will probably do the 4th, which starts on April 27, but don't know after that. The last 2 basically kill very few cancer cells, so a lot of risk for little benefit, especially adding COVID to that. We'll see. My leukemia is incurable anyway, and don't know how effective this experimental treatment will be until I finish, and do a biopsy. If not too effective, the last 2 would be useless anyway. Will play it by ear, and see how I feel, and how things look, but as far as COVID, it'll get much worse here for sure; it's just starting (96 cases so far). Hey, I'm not going to buy another bike or car. Was just mentioning it MIGHT be a good time. Ha ha. My cousin from Miami just bought a leftover 2019 Huskvarna Vatopilen (or some crap similar to that) 401 with zero miles super cheap, so some dealers are dealing. He wanted something small for his Michigan house. Take care.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Yeah, when the weather is nice, you will see many cruisers and adventure bikes cruising in the area. RPV is a nice area but there are so many nice areas in LA county. If I can afford it, Malibu would be my first choice. Well known motorcyclist hangouts near/in Malibu: Neptune’s Net and Rock Store. If you are lucky you might see Jay Leno or Matt Le Blanc @ the Rock Store. If you like twisty roads you can ride in Santa Monica Mountains (more known as Mulholland Drive or Mulholland Highway). Attached is a link that shows a compilation of crashes not far from the Rock Store. . Enjoy the video! The area where many crashes occurred is called the “snake.”
Oncologists have to make a determination whether to delay treatment or not. My understanding is that they would rather delay the treatment to avoid patients getting infected by this new virus.
Since, liberal media keep beating this COVID-19 to death as if there is no hope and that we are all going to die which drives high valued stocks cheap then maybe buying these stocks are not a bad idea or investment. Of course, this is assuming that you have disposable money. So, I can see @ the end of this COVID-19: The rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer. That’s my prediction bro!

Forget the elite 1%. People like us, our income is mostly consumed by rent or mortgage.
Let’s get back to motorcycling. Give credit to RNickeyMouse. His video is not intended to ridicule them but to learn from them. The crashes are non-life threatening that’s a good thing; the only thing that might hurt them is their bruised ego. I have seen worse accidents in mountain ridings including bodies covered with orange tarps. C’mon bothers/sisters, surely you learn something from this video. No comment or opinion? Why did they crash? Is it because they were unlucky? Share your comment or opinion.
I will start: My biggest problem in mountain ridings was to keep up with riders who are better or much better than me. In several occasions, I drifted to the oncoming lane due to the excessive speed. Thank God, for His grace; otherwise, I would not have been alive today. So, as I get older I become wiser. I have realized that there will always be people who are better rider, smarter, richer, etc. than me and I have accepted this and move on. So, now when I ride in a mountain I ride @ my own pace no longer affected by riders passing me. When I was much younger I would have played cat and mouse with any rider who passed me.
