skybytch 273 #1 September 1, 2005 I'm so excited. In a few minutes my new set of wheels will be arriving. After years of wishing I still had a motorcycle, tonight I can stop wishing. A guy at the dz bought himself a shiny new bike and doesn't need his old one anymore... so it's gonna become mine. I have no idea what year, size or model it is, other than it's a Yamaha cruiser type bike. It doesn't really matter what it is - it's a bike and it's costing me next to nothing! I'm so excited.

Just have to hope the car doesn't get too jealous... it's gonna see a lot of driveway time in the near future. I can't wait to go to work in the morning. I also can't believe I just said that.
