A Bike of My Very Own!

    I am still pinching myself!

    I am a bona-fide Motorcycle Mama now!

    My husband bought me a used motorcycle! It is a 2003 Suzuki Intruder VS 800. What do you think of it? This is it! The real picture of it:

Here is where we bought it!

    I love it. I drove it out of the neighborhood and out in the country tonight. It shifts easily and I can turn easier in it. It has a finger tip brake on it. And a very touchy throttle I found out! :-) It is a much bigger engine than I ever thought I'd operate -- but I'm doing fine with it!

    I mourn the fact that we couldn't get the new bike -- selfishly, I know -- but I will ride this one for awhile and maybe when I get rich I'll get the new black one! :-) This one is very nice, and I have nothing to complain about. I can reach the ground, and I'm tickled pink!

    The thing I have got to learn is how to start from a stop on a hill. And I have got to learn how to turn going down one. Scary stuff.

    It is easier to lean in this bike. I am so happy I am getting to learn all this stuff on my own bike! I'm just so excited! God is so good to me.

    I will write more tomorrow about how my little boys were just so precious about getting the bike. They have been learning so much by watching Mom learn. I will share more on another day, but I wanted you all to know that I got a bike of my own!!

That sounds exciting! I couldn't see the pictures for some reason...I would love to see your new bike. Dh talks of getting one but I am too afraid of him having an accident.

You go girl!! =D I bet it's a blast! I know if I tried though it would be a distaster. I don't know how you've managed to figure out how to drive it but good going!!

HI!!! Thanks for stopping by! To answer your question, I'm not really sure! But I do know that the bottled green teas that have been sitting on the shelf at the stores are not as good for you, as when you make it yourself. I guess fresh is best! As far as lipton versus another brand I don't think it really matters, but again I don't really know! Haha!
I hope you have a great weekend!!
