:)) Maiden Voyage

This AM I geared up, pulled Junior out of the garage, started him up,
threw a leg over and rode a mile or two to a client's office to do a

That's really great news, Jim. Keep at the rehab and you'll be back to
riding longer rides before you know it.

small job for him.
Cool. I forgot how cool it really is.

Just a few miles round trip, but a long time coming since May 20.
Didn't see one deer between Vicente and Lincoln either!
I'm going to take it one step at a time but it won't be too long before
I'll just get on and ride, with no looking back.
Thanks to all for the great support and encouragement. It has helped a lot.
|
Yay for you!
Which one's Junior -- the NX250?
|
Yup, mostly due it's relative size and arrival in the stable. But it is
the Senior of the 2003 R1, and the 1994 RS....
but still comes as Junior when you compare odometers.
R1100RS @ 55,000 or so
YZF R1 at 13,000 or so
NX250 (Junior) at 1504
Just a noob, really,
Thanks to it's previous owner, who apparently was hoping to re-sell it
as a museum piece.
And the day before I bought it, it WAS a museum piece. But in order to
prove to me it would start, he coasted down his driveway , popped the
clutch, hit the ground, and made it a used bike.
Which was ok, the price dropped from his optimistic asking of 3400, to
my suggested 1000. Proving that you can always get a bargain if your
patient.:)
|
Awesome! $3400's about what I paid at that bike store in Oakland for my
NX250. Man, I loved that bike!
Congrats on your return to the road!

This is great to hear, Jim. :)

There's nothing like a veteran rider getting back in the saddle again
after a major event like a deer accident. Good for you:)
|
I can still remember how cool it was when you reported your "first ride
back". I think we all got a vicarious thrill, as if it were our first
ride, too.
I'm surprised I wasn't more nervous than I was. I will admit to looking
3 times each way at every intersection though. No sense getting pasted
that first day!

Yeah it is awesome!
Welcome back. You're a survivor!

Ah...how I wish I could clobber a deer so that after a 6 month layoff I
would have that feeling again. Well...not really. Winter will have to
suffice. Nice to see you back up and running.

I'm buying a deer tag this year. Do you eat venison?

Well...we went up to Idaho for our summer trout scaring trip this year,
and I ordered venison every time I saw it on a menu.
I liked the venison at the Glacier Lake Lodge the best, sort of a
bourbon and citrus sauce...dam good good. And it stayed put like a deer
ought to.
