I finally got a bike.

So anyways I got a bike, a used 2007 KLR650 and ended up riding it to my uncle's place a few miles away. I was scared at first and uneasy about spending the cash but once I got on the bike all of those doubts just faded away and I couldn't help but smile. It wasn't quite an ear to ear grin, but that's just because my cheek pads hadn't quite been broken in yet.
I was kinda disapointed when I got back to my uncle's place, I really wanted to keep going but I figured it would be a good idea to pick up a jacket first and get the bike insured. But I did get to go dirtbike riding and that was hella fun. I rode around the track and fell over in the sand a few times but all I got was a bruise on my shin, the bike he lent me was fine.
So all and all I had a lot of fun and when I came home I had a quote stuck in my head and I wish I knew who said it first.
"Only a motorcyclist knows why a dog sticks his head out the window."
Me, I think it's because he knows a good thing when he sees one.

PS: I picked up a joe rocket Kawasaki road racing jacket in black with white lettering today. I put it on and kept going "Please don't fit, please don't fit, please don't fit." but it did, better than anything else I had tried, so I had to buy it. At least it's a nice jacket.
