new bike!
I got me a new bike, and I'm as giddy as a kid with candy in his pocket. I've bought myself a red-and-black Honda CBR 600 RR from 2003, with 10000 kilometers. That's 9000 kilometers less than my previous bike, and slightly cheaper, too ;-)
The ride home was only 20 miles, but it was the scariest 20 miles I ever rode! The bike is so different from my old, trusted Hurricane, I really didn't have any confidence whatsoever. The rain and the dark didn't help either.
What caught me by surprise, is how different the two bikes are. Moving from the RR to the Hurricane didn't feel like a big jump. Moving from the Hurricane to the RR, however, has got me feeling like I need to take MSF again. Even the counter-steering doesn't go as smooth as I would like it!
As soon as I got home, I took a bunch of pictures, and the next week my hard disk crashed. So I lost all the pictures except this one:
I hope the hard disk crash is no omen of any kind ...
