Drooool....


It's been a while since I rode. Infact it's been since 2005. I miss being able to just take off.
So I started looking into it again. It's unlikely that I'll be able to afford a bike this year with the mortgage and all, but I don't mind day dreaming.

I took a quick gander at the Yammie site, and thought I would do a quick comparison of the bikes I might be interested in. I love the R6 so if I were to buy again, that's what it would be. If you know anything about bikes take a gander at the comparison. I would be tempted to purchase the CE just because it's a good looking machine. The S has the best seat hight for me because I'm what you might call SHORT! I'm only about 5'6". In my riding boots I'm closer to 5'6" 1/2 but it's still not very tall at all. my last R6 i could only really flat foot it after I got some time in on the suspension :D.

Liz doesn't ride any more, but she has her full M lic. I think she'll start again, right now she has Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, and a wedding she is planning to keep her busy.

Lisa still rides, but doesn't have enough people to ride with. She's becoming lonely. I think I should get out there and keep her company. My husband says he'd be ok with me getting back into riding again.
I am going to save my pennies... and see where it gets me.
I don't think I'll be buying new, but I'll be ok with looking at a used bike. 2005 would be good. This 2005 is sexy. I love the Yellow. ( my R6 looked just like this but red) I miss her.

Disapointment


In case you were wondering; I didn't sell my R6.
It was STOLEN.
By some pieces of shit from the underground while I was in Greece. It was blocked in by a car and a zx7. The fucktards who took it lifted it over the car. and threw it into a van ON HER SIDE! Bastards. (saw the security video)

All I could think of while I was away was my bike. I was so excited about returning home and going for a ride and hanging out with my friends.

No one called me to tell me when i was in greece that the bike was gone. Infact they waited until I got home and was talking about going for a ride.

I am still pissed at them for that. I am sure in their minds they were doing the right thing, but it made everything brutally worse. My Uncle had passed away while I was in Greece. They weren't going to tell me. I found out by accident.

I was going to take a trip to Alabama when I got back to visit my Uncle George. That didn't quite work out the way I had planned. I hate when people keep shit from me because I am one of those people who plans and expects to be able to do what I plan. Otherwise I am seriously disappointed.

That summer there were a few.

I always tell people don't ever promise me anything. Don't even if you think you are going to follow through with it don't do it. I HATE the feeling of disappointment.


I loved that Bike.
I didn't get to ride it much. It only had 700 km on it when it was stolen.
Meh.
