My New Bike

I'm sure you have all heard the saying "Getting there is half the fun". Well I am sure that whoever said that was definitely not going anywhere in a suburban with his whole family. I have also decided that whoever said it had a motorcycle.
This is my bike. It is a 2005 Honda Shadow 750cc. You can see the saddlebags and the two seats. Cassie is still to chicken to let me take her for a ride. Maybe in the summer when it warms up.



Here I am sitting on my bike with my new helmet and motorcycle jacket. (A quick note to appease my mother) The jacket has reflective stripes, foam padding and body armor, so if I wreck on the freeway both arms will be dislocated, several ribs will be broken and my spleen may rupture, but my skin will stay on my bones. No worries.

Lastly, it may not be snowing but at 6:00 in the morning when I leave for school, it's cold outside. Factor in the windchill and even I need a little extra covering. My jacket has an extra liner, I wear a scarf, and I just bought some new Gore-tex ski gloves, the only thing I am missing are a pair of sexy chaps.
