I have a lot in my mind, so I'll try to make this entry as clear and concise as possible. As usual, I would say what I always do - the last [insert time frame here] has been insane/crazy! Well, the last year and few weeks has been quite... interesting, to say the least.
A lot of things have changed and will be changing. Didn't really think that with a new bike comes a tad bit more - not that it's really connected. Okay, now I feel like I am speaking in code.

I think I should step back, elaborate.

Soft Start to the Wisconsin Riding Season
I want to start with - I finally got my custom plates, so feel free to say Hi! when you see me riding around Oshkosh! Unfortunately, we are limited to five characters for motorcycle plates and someone already took C0RG1 so I had to take the next best thing - K0RG1. I would love to have both Hans & Ein on it, but maybe when I get custom plates for my future car. Technically, the truck (my truck) is the family vehicle.
Winter always feels like forever! Growing up in a tropical country where we pretty much have two seasons - dry and rainy - having four seasons is quite amazing. Most locals who are used to it probably do not give it much thought. While it's no longer really new to me, I still find experiencing these changes quite magical each time. Well, until winter is taking too long to go away.
Technically, it's spring. This marks my first ride in Spring here in Wisconsin! 
On the first sign of warmth, I took the chance to take the bike to work. I never really thought I would be that person but here I am - riding around with snow still on certain places on the ground. It's not really too bad, and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with my Cortech Hyper-Flo Air 2.0 motorcycle jacket. See - everyone's talking about Alpinestars and Dainese, but I'm really satisfied with mine. It has a removable lining and it's works pretty well for almost all season. When it gets too cold, I just put a puffer jacket on top of that and I'm all set.
Graduating from high school is one of our lives' significant milestones - it marks the start of a brand‑new chapter as we look back into every moment that shaped us into the young adult we once were. Watching someone I care about reach that point is its own kind of magic, and I really couldn't be any prouder.
Mai has always been an part of our small family - she is Bear's cousin, which I adopt as my own, and it's amazing to see her grow from the tough and smart baby that she was to this young lady with a bright future ahead.
I feel old.
I often play it off as the fine lines on my forehead, which truly does bother me; but realistically, it is a bit less shallow than that. 
It still feels like yesterday - I used to tell myself that I still have these many decades before I'm 60. The ripe age of retirement. While I now understand that turning 60 doesn't necessarily mean life is over, we cannot deny the fact that most people do get sick by this time, and a lot of things become restricted.
My fear is that I have so many things to do yet, but time is ticking.
Okay, okay — I finally did it! After weeks (...fine, months) of procrastinating, I took the plunge and got the Michael Kors bag I’ve been eyeing on for so long. And to complete my spring vibe? A Velvet Caviar cherry blossom phone case that screams “Cherry Blossom season, but make it aesthetic.”
So I suppose this is my spring (and summer) aesthetic - Sakura ~ soft pinks, floral everything, and a little sparkle of self-love.
Four years and 10 days ago marks the exact date when I crashed on my Kawasaki Z125. It's not as bad as it sounds, but I have never ridden through the Breezewood Lane roundabout on a bike. For a long time, even as a passenger, that place always made me feel uncomfortable. I felt pathetic, it's not like I lost a limp or broke my whole body but it was rough.
Well then, yesterday I conquered that fear. For the first time in four years, I rode through the Breezewood Lane roundabout - no sudden brakes, no panic... just ride!

Four years and three days ago marks the day I crashed in the Breezewood Lane roundabout on my Z125. It wasn't that bad, but I really didn't think I would ride again. At that time, I figured this wasn't for me. I'm too slow and stupid to figure out manual driving/riding, let alone being on two wheels.
As you can see, that's not how it really went.
It's been almost a month since I brought home my new 2024 Kawasaki Z500, and oh boy I am in love!
When I first got my motorcycle license, I was riding a Kawasaki Z125. It was a small, cute, mini version of a sports bike and it was fun to ride around. The only issue I've really had is my lack of confidence in shifting - the clutch work and the timing - is just really overwhelming for me. Needless to say, this resulted to the not-so-great crash of 2020.
I really didn't want to ride anymore. I was content being a passenger, but we thought why not give it another shot? I really didn't want to deal with the clutch work and panic once more - so in fall of 2021, I got a 2022 Honda ADV150.
