New Wheels

All my life I’ve wanted a motorcycle. Ever since the days when I’d hunker down in front of the computer and play Road Rash all day (I just hoped I wouldn’t crash my real motorcycle as much as I crashed my character’s). I’ve always driven “fast” cars because I knew someday I’d be flying down the road on two wheels with nothing but a smile on my face and the wind in my hair.

However there’s a slight problem with my grand plan: I know nothing about motorcycles; or vehicles in general. I don’t really know what the upkeep on them is like. Will I need a Battery Tender? How often to they have to go to the garage? Is it really bad for them to be in the cold during the winter? These are all questions that I’ll need to learn how to answer before I get fancy and buy a “hog” as they call them.

I have picked out what I want though. I want a black sport bike with some sort of flames on it. I’m not a big fan of choppers or Harleys, so its definitely going to be what the boy calls a “crotch rocket” for me. I don’t want to be on the “grungier” side of cycling… I want to ride in style.
