Getting out of downtown still sucks, even though it's much better than being in the car. Yesterday a chubby black woman with a cig got cut off by someone who had to force-merge and wouldn't wait, so she put her fist in the horn for 4 straight minutes while we all just sat there. Then stomped the gas and swerved around him when the gridlock broke up, nearly scraping him. Totally flat affect the whole time too. I had to stop looking at her because I thought she'd pull a gun on me. Complete psycho.

Saw a slightly less severe road rage incident yesterday morning as well with someone freaking out, honking and passing unsafely for no discernible reason in that case.

Rage cages need to be banned. These people are going to cause major damage/injury

Downtown and the valley road leading into it are absolutely desolate today. I goofed off in the empty parking garage a bit without attracting security attention. Amazing weather and riding conditions today.

Legality is determined by mirrors, lights, signals, and plates (and possibly tuning at an unenforceable level), which dirt bikes can (and often do) run

Yes, properly equipped dirt bikes ("dual sport") are street legal in beautiful Ohio (and every other state that i know of)

So I am going to pick up the dirt bike again today. Mechanic has no clue whats wrong with it. But after riding consistently it will just die in action and refuse to start up again. However after cooling down for 10-60 minutes, it restarts with no trace of a problem.

So I guess that's just the way it is and i cant ride it somewhere if I have to get there on time. That will be good enough until it gets too cold to ride anyway. Next spring I will upgrade to a new street bike

Changed the oil and rode in on the dirt bike this morning. The oil was very fucked because I thought mechanic changed it when I first brought it in but he hadn't. So thats a good start. Made it to work without issue but it still needs to be at 1/4 choke at all times or will stall when throttle is closed. All that said, had a great time and looking forward to the ride home
