Well. to add to that, let me tell you about the ultimate day filled with the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows....
Picked up the new bike - Ultimate High
Rode for a bit and loved every minute of it - Ultimate High
Met up with the boys and everyone stared at it in awe - Ultimate high
only 60 miles on the bike and looped it, and spent the next 7 hours at the hospital. - ULTIMATE LOW!!
Record time.... 5 hours after picking up and 60 miles on the odo, and she's back at the shop scraped and banged up.
I'm back at home, scraped and banged up. Thank god for a good helmet, jacket, and gloves. Saved my ass except for the sprained wrist. LESSON TO THOSE STARTING OUT.... SPEND THE MONEY ON THE HELMET, AND LEATHERS. DO NOT CHINCE OUT, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET HAVING GOOD SAFETY GEAR, AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT!! (end of preaching)
I'll keep you posted on this saga.... I just want to sit and cry..... or drink..... or something.
