Tomorrow
Posted: Wed May 18, 2005 10:27 pm
***NOTE*** My request for a bike blog was pushed through in record time. I've copied over all the posts I've made about my bike into that post, which can be found here: Sev's 599
I will continue to update it as I encounter more runs and get more km on my bike.
It's 3:20 AM right now. I work at 7:00 which means I need to get up at 6:00. It's going to be a 12 hour shift tomorrow. So I get off work at 7 PM. I'm doing the same thing the next day. If I was smart I would be asleep. I'd be passed out and oblivious because of the day that I have coming tomorrow. It's going to be a rough one considering how much sleep I haven't gotten.
I'm sure a lot of you are asking yourselves... or me why on Earth I would do this to myself. I'm exhausted, at least, I think I am. I cannot tell what I am anymore. Today I went into Honda Extreme in Edmonton and paid off my bike, a 2004 Honda 599 (Hornet). It's registered, insured and ALMOST ready to go. I say almost because they are doing the final assembly today and tomorrow. It will be ready to pickup tomorrow night after work. In fact I've already made arrangements to be picked up straight from work and driven there.
It's supposed to rain tomorrow, it rained the day I picked up my first bike. So I'm not nervous about that. But I do find myself filled with apprehension. As most of you know, I've already been in one accident, an experience which I have no wish to repeat. But I also want so badly to go motorcycling again. However this is a much bigger bike, with a more powerful engine, and WAY better brakes. I keep asking myself if maybe I've gotten in a little over my head. I certainly hope not.
Regardless tomorrow I fly, without ever leaving the ground.
