Sunday morning …
… we get a used, eBay-acquired addition to the family 
It’s being shipped from SC and the driver just called me and said he would be here in Santa Fe on Sunday.
Of course, it has to be the day that I’m busy at work for an extended period.
Oh, excellent choice.
Thanks - can’t agree more
Now I just need to remember how to ride one; it’s been 20 years since I last sat on a motorcycle. Somebody tell me it’s just like swimming: once you learn it, you won’t forget it …
It takes some time practicing with the front/rear brake balance to stop popping the bike up on its front wheel. I usually spend an hour or two in a parking lot.
Likewise, our winds here take some getting used to. I usually warm up on Old Las Vegas Highway before committing to 75mph out on 25 …
Whaaaaa? Good for you, Tobs!!
I’ve been taking the bike on our back roads here in the neighborhood (not registered, no insurance yet - ugh!) and I’m actually surprised how quickly I remembered what I last did about 20 years ago …
Just make sure you wear your helmet, eh? Don’t be a dummy and think it won’t look cool if you wear one.
Dude! Be careful!!!! Those things are death machines. Don’t make me show you pictures of my traumas!
I’ll be careful, Pimmy - I promise. Still haven’t received the insurance card; Liberty Mutual is dragging its feet. If I don’t get it by Monday I’ll go with a different provider.
