Lessons Learned:

1. While it might look cool to take off the windshield on the bike, you don't want your face to be the substitute, like Matt's face unfortunately was.

2. Don't wear shorts, a dress, or skirt on the bike or you may end up with a 3rd degree burn on the inside of your leg, like I unfortunately am now forever branded with.

3. Don't ride the bike during the day in Arizona in the dead of the summer or you may end up finding yourself in a 120 degree barren wasteland, like we did.

4. Don't ride the bike during the night in Arizona in the dead of the summer or you may end up wasting an exuberant amount of money on tacky sweatshirts, hats and gloves from overpriced tourist traps, like we did.

5. Don't try to snap photos while riding on the back of the bike. It's more dangerous than I make it look!  Also don't try to steal kisses, tickle, sing or give wet willies, they don't go over well with the driver.
