My new baby!
08/22/08 at 11:18:01

I'm an infant in motorcycle years, not even close to crawling even, but I got my first bike! My dad had recently bought an S40, his first bike in nearly 20 years, and it inspired my brother an I to get some too.

My brother came as some POS 80's bike that cost him about $2300 for a $1200 bike within weeks. On my end, my dad plucked an '01 Savage up for me the other day. Saddle bags and windshield included for $2100. The head gasket is slightly leaky, and I'll do that after a test ride.

However, I can't even ride it until September 6th! Why? I promised my weekends to friends/girlfriend until then. Angry

(Elaboration: I go to school in Flint, Michigan. My bike is in Dayton, Ohio! Weekends are all I've got!)

Pictures to come if anyone cares, but I am so darn excited! Grin

For now I was taking my dad's word for it but I'll have to take a look in... more than 2 weeks! The wait is destroying me! Also, I sent the info to him as well to check. So I'll find out soon enough.
