New Toy!

Yay! Another new toy! Well, it's more like it's a used toy.. And more like a used vehicle. I picked up my first motorcycle today, about three hours ago at the Suzuki dealership. It's a 1999 Suzuki GS500E with 8200 miles. I finished the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) course about a month ago, and have just been looking around for the right bike at the right price. This is going to replace my MINI as my commuter vehicle. The Cooper S will be relegated to shopping trips and vacation trips with Lisa. I'm pretty happy with the bike so far. It's yellow (like my MINI) and it has similar acceleration, so I'm not getting in over my head with the crazy crotch rocket pack. Two friends that I took the MSF course with got bigger, more expensive bikes. One a Harley Davidson 1200S Sportster, and the other a Ducati Monster. Ya. Not for me. I'd feel terrible if I were to drop either of those.

Stay tuned for pictures of it and my gear!
