I rode a motorcycle!

Finally!

Remember this and this a few months ago? [“Adventures in Not Buying a Motorcycle” by me and “Adventures in Not Getting a Motorcycle to Run” by Eric]

It all started with almost blowing up my engine but soon I was looking for a new ride - or at least a temporary one while I waited for my car to get fixed.

Eventually, after looking at a number of different options, I went with the free one. My friend John offered to let me ride a bike of his that he wasn’t using. I tried really hard to say no, but I really didn’t come close at all. I said, “Holy shmokes! Heck yes!” (Shmokes?)

It did take a while to get the crazy thing to work, but eventually Eric got the darn thing to run! And run it did! I was cruising up and down the streets. Sometimes I even drove in the correct lane!

Woo! It was fun!
