Yesterday I met Bob at Central Market to get food. When he came walking up to me, he was carrying his motorcycle helmet, which could mean only one thing - Bob's '94 Suzuki Katana is running again!
We made an emergency run to the Temple of Evil at about 8PM so I could purchase a Bell motorcycle helmet, thus earning myself a position on the back of the bike. Then we went to visit my mom. ^_^
First words out of Mom's mouth when we came up the stairs beaming and holding our helmets was "I am not happy about this."
I know, Mom. But I am. ^_^
After we left my parents' place, Bob and I ended up riding around Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island for about two hours. I think one of the most entertaining parts of the entire journey was when we stopped at a park on Bainbridge Island and played on the swings with our helmets on. ^_^ Yes, it was awesome.
It's been years since I've been on a bike, and I'm freshly hooked. If merely riding on the back of a motorcycle is one of the best and most exhilirating feelings I've ever had, how much better will it be when I have my own bike, and I'm the one driving?
I'm starting to look at the Honda Shadow Spirit 750. It's a great looking bike, and cheaper than the Marauder.
ummmm, yeah . . . So today your mom relayed this story (her version ; ) and my daughter happened to be there. At the end of your mom's cautionary tale, my daughter brightened up and reminded me of a Thing Which I Had Conveniently Forgotten: she has always wanted a bike too. And no warm 'n fuzzy little Vespa, mind you . . . something more along the lines of what you're looking at.
ReplyDeleteGreat. I think your mom and I will be forming a new support group: Losing Our Hair Due To Incessant Worrying Anonymous . . .
YAY! Lindy can join the biker gang that Bob and I have decided to start!!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteVespas are silly girly vehicles. We need MOTORCYCLES! ^_^
