Great video from a fellow MSF instructor, although this is not an MSF class. The rider begins on a small bike and “graduates” to a Harley-Davidson Road King, putting it through a series of linked turns. All in a matter of an hour or so. Flickr video.
I’m thinking about taking a trip to San Diego in July. I can ride my motorcycle: it would be a not-too-difficult two-day ride (1300 miles one way) and cost about $200 in gas plus two nights hotel (~$60 per) or room/sofa bummed with a friend.
Flying? About $350 round-trip plus dealing with transportation while in San Diego. Non-stop, 2.5 hour flight plus travel to airport plus hour advance check-in: 4 hours.
Train? There is no direct train from Seattle to San Diego and the Amtrak reservation system isn’t smart enough to suggest how to get there: it simply tosses out an error message.

It’s hard to figure out the total cost for floral orders because they have undisclosed (until you are deep in the shopping cart) service fees. “Free delivery” doesn’t necessarily mean that the price of the flowers (plus tax) is the final price.
