Soooooo.... yeah.

I bought a motorcycle yesterday.

EEEEEEEE MINE. Shiny. Red. Picking it (him?) up on Saturday morning, then it appears that it will be a lovely day of riding, and more riding. With a break for lunch sometime inbetween all that. Pictures soon. SOON. OMGYAY.

3 years (or less) of very affordable payments, as long as nothing goes horribly, horribly wrong with job or house or whatever. Getting there, however... took longer to get this than it did to close on our house, for heavens sakes! The ladies at the CU (not the same one we used to buy our house, however) were very helpful, though. I have an awesome rate and no downpayment, which is much better than our CU would do. Bah. Now just need to get all the paperwork updated - insurance, registration, plates, etc. Aieee.

This is a great blog, thanks Isaac for re-introducing me to it via your blog. Glad to see it's (you're) up and running again. I miss you. Email me sometime, 'kay? :)

I was riding something that looked very much like your icon... '92 Suzuki GS 500E. Whatcha got there??

'83 Suzuki GS450E - She's in a state of suspension in a friend's barn for the duration of the reign though....
Remind me to tell you the story of the Red Albatross some day...

That is one verreh nice machine you've (almost) got there! Happy riding!

Ah, the GS500E's progenitor! A scary number of parts swap between our bikes.

[kragore.livejournal.com]

Yea - she's a good bike who will someday run again. Maybe this fall will see more serious wrench time on her...

[felis-lupus.livejournal.com]

Ah, and I feel it will be a familiar one. :) Hope you'll be back on 2 wheels next summer!

kurlon is just happy he's getting Suzi (the GS) back... ;)
