I finally got another bike! As you can see from the pic, it looks very similar to my old one. In truth, it is the same year/make/model minus about 6,000 miles. It came with custom rims and a custom muffler. Apple guy found it online at a dealer in Santa Rosa. [1]A good hour and half north of the city. I might keep the rims as I like the color but the muffler is a huge annoyance. It makes the bike super loud and I hate that. I know for some that’s a bonus but not me. My ego [2]and other parts are big enough, I don’t need something super loud and annoying to announce my presence to the world. lol
I’ve missed riding so much and am sooo happy to have a bike again! Getting around in SF isn’t much of a problem but I’ve missed being able to just hop on my bike and go for a ride. I’m been using co-workers for rides back and forth to work, Zip cars for errands, and MUNI for everything else. I don’t mind public transit, especially the underground tunnel, but you have to add 30/40 minutes to everything you wanna do.
This coming Sunday will be 4 months to the day since the accident. To say I’m rusty is an understatement. lol I had to drive the bike home from Santa Rosa, which went fine but it was all freeway. I’m planning a short leisurely group ride this Sunday to help get me back into the sway of things. (Pardon the pun. lol)
Nifty! Good for you! NO MORE ACCIDENTS.
Good to see you've got another bike! I heard something interesting the other day about law enforcement and motorcycles here in RI. Apparently most cops won't pull over a cruiser but they will pull over a crotch rocket.
If I could ever convince Keyron that I won't crack it up, I'd love a Harley or a Honda.
Glad you're back in your element, but try to be safe. It's one reason I'll never have one, I would kill myself. Guaranteed.
Woo Hoo! Moby is mobile again! Now, no more dumping your bike mmmkay?
Congrats on the new ride! It's finally warm enough for us to ride in the DC area, so I don't have to envy you too much.
Ride safe!
Congrats on the new bike Moby! I know you've been missing riding a HELL of a lot these last few months!
Be safe. I don't like motorcycles one bit because I don't feel safe on them. I do admire your stubbornness though.
Cool! Good for you! Ride on!
Wow, that's great y'all found the same bike. Congratulations and enjoy!
Wow, you have a large……..tongue!
Definitely keep the nuclear blue rims.
And be careful out there, ok?? no more accidents!
