Riding around

[trystinn]

After exhaustive research and shopping, we finally found the right Cruiser for Josh: a dark blue Suzuki Boulevard 800. Picy goodness to come tomorrow.

The pressure tactics have already begun, trying to talk me into getting a motorcycle. Two problems with that idea, the first of which is I don't know how to drive one. The second gets into that whole Jewish shopping gene issue. Personally, I'd probably do something along a retro-style Cruiser, if possible, in a mid-range power plant. Wish list: A sidecar for Flash and shopping goodies.

Thank Gods I'm 5'7" with really long legs, so they didn't try to steer me to smaller, goonie bikes. Ye Gods. So yes, I have spent the last five days with something powerful between my legs. Thanks for asking.

FIRST, learn to ride the bike. THEN learn to handle it in all sorts of conditions. THEN, maybe, think about a sidecar. A sidecar will completely change the way the bike handles and turns (as does having a passenger).

And please, love, get a helmet that fits before you get back on that bike. One that slips around is as useless as not having one at all. GRRRR. Don't make me scold you.
