We have almost matching F800GT's. Master's is orange, mine is graphite. He bought both at the same time. Mine was a gift along with all the gear he wanted me to have. We haven't gotten out much because I preferred my bicycle for exercise or to hop in my truck or car. I like my truck best because I can play redneck in it.
I know what you mean about the bicycle and exercise but I always have to avert my gaze from the Blade and concentrate on the Marin when I go into the garage or I'd never pedal anywhere. I like the Blade best because I can play hooligan on it.
ReplyDeleteI like to ride my bicycle into town. It's down the mountain and then a 2000 foot climb back up. If I run to the market for something I have a little extra weight on the way back. I don't take the bike out unless Master takes me. I'm still learning to ride the fucker and I'm a little afraid of it.
ReplyDeleteI had a small Honda for about a half hour when I was in high school. I learned to ride on a dealer's bike before my grandparents let me buy. I was on my way home with it when an old man made a left turn into me and dragged me 50 feet into a parking lot drive. He screwed my knee a little and did a lot of damage to the bike. My grandparents, who didn't really want me to ride a bike, wouldn't let me replace it. I didn't give owning a bike much of a thought after that until Master started my interest again.
