Finally, I have had the new bike (new used) since the 7th and finally got everything taken care of (taxes, title, tags, registration, helmet, jacket, Insurance). What a pain in the arse. Well, took it out this evening and went for a short ride in the country (out toward Blythewood for those in the Columbia area) and had a blast. The bike has a great sound and it was exciting being on a bike again. I haven't been on two wheels for about 12 years now. It's great to be back out there. I'm jealous of all of you in the Raliegh area. You have enough riders around there to get together. By looking at the Roster, there are only 3 of us here in Columbia and one of them lists their bike as out of order

. Well, when I get some more time on the bike, maybe I'll make the trek to hang out with yall.
