WOW, congrats man! Enjoy....

Best advice I ever got, "Ride like everyone is trying to kill you.", and, "Ride your own ride.", meaning don't get pushed into going faster than you want or longer than you want.

Safe riding.

This morning ... After a hella painful dentist appointment.... I got tags ($234 with the sales tax and notary service!!!).... Then I went (in the car) to a nearby Suzuki dealer and bought a helmet like the one I had borrowed to get the bike home. Dropped of my prescriptions(dentist), went home, had a bitchin veggie bagel that coulnt be beat, and put the tags on the bike....

Then ...on the bike..to the bank, and then to the Harley dealer for a clear face mask, and back to the Suzuki dealer to get inspection... Greased the tech and passed inspection with no repairs needed. $35 plus the $20 tip... And all done in 35 minutes....Nice.

Then a couple more errands and back into the car to go pick up the kids. They didn't look at Facebook so they didn't know I had gotten the bike..... I took them helmet shopping, told them it was for when I eventually got my bike... Kids are suckers....

Look at my Facebook for the picture of them in their new helmets.... Stopped for chinee, then home.

..."who's motorcycle is that!?". As we pulled into the driveway.

Ha!

After dinner, Ripley got her first ride. We went to get gas and took a 15 minute putt. Nice and slow, getting comfortable with it..... She is a Natural rider. Spencer didn't like it, and we only made it once around the development.... Hopefully he comes around....

Ripley wanted to go again, so we took a long ride at dusk out to my friend, Dan's house and showed off the bike. Cold riding home in the dark, but she still loved it.

Later, Spencer and I put a couple Steal Your Face stickers on the bike, and played Madden 2012. Cowboys 14, Saints 7.

Great day of riding and bonding. This one goes into the Vault as is.
