For some time now I have wanted to buy a motorcycle. I had one about twenty years ago and I had a good time with it but then family, responsibilites, etc. didn't allow for me keeping the bike.
Well, with the gas prices the way they are (no, seriously), and the transportation needs of late, I thought I could get away with another bike. Nothing fancy, at least 500cc's. So I trucked on down to the local Yamaha/Honda/Suzuki/Triumph dealer and sat down on a very pleasing Honda Shadow. This being the first bike I sat on since selling my Yamaha Seca 550 when I was twenty-nine and a hundred pounds lighter.

My first reaction was fear because as I looked and felt the different controls I realized immediately that I don't remember how to ride (bicycles, no problem, bikes, problem) which led to a small panic attack, which led to great sadness and depression. Now I knew that I wasn't going to get a bike.

That time had passed. Sadness

This song by the famous Funkel Brothers, Simon and Gar, is what I try and start these days with.

Days seem busier now, especially having lost touch with so many by not blogging.

I do still keep up kinda with reading blogs and occasionally guerrilla comment, but it's been awkward since my own blogging has on the wane.

I'm trying to work out this whole posting from Flickr thing.
