WooHoo. I noticed they closed the 52 eastbound for resurfacing. Love the smell of fresh asphalt in the morning. I stopped in Carlsbad and had breakfast at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailynewscafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Daily News Cafe<\/a>. This is a great breakfast place that I have eaten at before during BikeMS training rides. I got a great spot right in front of of the place. I ordered Eggs Benedict, my favorite. A number of people were checking out the scooter, so I was happy to answer their questions.<\/p>\n<p>I dropped my scooter off at the Vespa dealer and went to go spend some money on riding gear. Gail picked me up and we went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nchouseofmotorcycles.com\" target=\"_blank\">North County House of Motorcycles<\/a>.\u00a0 They have a fantastic selection! I was amazed at the vehicle selection they had. But alas, I was not there for motorized vehicles, but clothing.<\/p>\n<p>I ended up buying a new jacket and a pair of pants. I picked up a <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/cqpgc9 \" target=\"_blank\">Teknic Sirocco Jacket<\/a> in red. I love this jacket. Pockets everywhere and it fits me like a glove. It was on sale for $127.50, so I was really happy about that.<\/p>\n<p>I also picked up a pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fieldsheer.com\/site2009\/ff\/productspage\/mercurypant.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Fieldsheer Mercury Pants<\/a> (in black). I have not ridden with them yet, but they fit fantastic and if they work as well as the jacket, I am going to love them as well. Again, they were on sale for $$152, so I was loving that.<\/p>\n<p>By the time I was done shopping it was time to head back and get my scooter. They had just finished the service when I got there. The service along with all the parts, supplies and taxes came to $142.16. Looks like they may have washed or at least wiped down the bike. It seems to have a nice shine to it now.<\/p>\n<p>When I got my bike I put my old jacket and my new pants in the top case. They fit with a little room to spare, even with the hangers. I left the Vespa dealer and I headed\u00a0 to downtown La Jolla via the 101. It was a great ride, lovely weather, and light traffic. My bike no longer makes the putt-putt sound when idling, so the service has fixed that, hurray!<\/p>\n<p>I arrived and met Angie at La Jolla Cove and we ate lunch at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brocktonvilla.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Brockton Villa Restaurant<\/a>. We feasted while enjoying the lovely view of The Cove. Afterwards, I headed back home.<\/p>\n<p>Days like today are why I love living in San Diego. 83 degrees on January 31st! Wow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I rode up to Oceanside today &#8220;on the freeway&#8221;! WooHoo. I noticed they closed the 52 eastbound for resurfacing.
