bye bye baby...

I'm sad to say that after 5 years, I have sold my first and only motorcycle. It was a bittersweet decision - I was hardly riding it anymore with the dog, house, etc. - and we can definitely use the money for other things.

But my fellow riders will concur that there is nothing quite like the exhiliration of being on your bike on a warm, sunny day with nothing but open road in front of you. This weekend was the beginning of a short stretch of sunny weather here in Vancouver - the kind of weather that sends many riders to ICBC to insure their bikes for their first ride of the season. As I was riding my bike to drop it off at the buyer's house, I couldn't help but shed some tears at the thought that this was not only my last ride on this motorcycle, but it was my last ride for sometime to come...
