Hah!

Read 'Em and Weep from Sidney,

That's right, folks, my crazy green bike dreams have finally been realized (no thanks to you non-house buying people).

It's easily the coolest bike in the world. Here's what it looked like immediately off the trailer:



Naturally, I couldn't just leave it completely stock, so here's what it looks like now:



I realize that most of you are really jealous and even a little angry. I completely understand - I'd feel the same way myself if I were you. In the meantime, feel free to download a copy of these images for yourself. That way, you'll be one step closer to greatness.

BTW, the bike rides like a dream. It's so much nicer than the old bike that it's almost embarrassing. Embarrassing because I nearly bought this exact bike (just not green) back in '03. But, since the dealer wouldn't haggle with me, I decided to buy a different bike from a different dealer. I sure showed them!

So, for the last 5 years, I've been riding a bike that was my second choice. But now, I've finally come into my own, riding the bike I've wanted all along. Yay me!

All I need now are some highway pegs and possibly different pipes. The pipes in the picture in my May 07 post look really cool (and are probably really loud). I might go with those if they're not too ridiculously expensive. For now, I'm pretty darn content.

I'm thinking about selling my little car since I doubt I'll be driving anything other than my bike from now on - unless of course, there's a bad snow storm or something.

On a side note, you should see the killer sunburn I got on the poker run I rode this weekend. I had everything planned out except the sunscreen. Ah, c'est la vie.

P.S. I love my new bike.
