ReplyDeleteThis seems like it may be a little too much bike for you, Jason. Maybe you should try this out first:

Go ahead and laugh, Daniel. I'll be able to still fill the tank for a $10 bill and go 150 miles. My jeep does that same 150 miles and takes $40 to fill. Pack light when you come out because I'll come pick you up at the airport with my new toy! :)
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! Karen can sit behind you and I'll sit on the handlebars...
ReplyDeleteJason....BE CAREFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteat least you'll HAVE to wear a helmet!

Reminds me of my old sailing days. The 1st Engineer would buy year old Yamaha's in their crates in Yokohama and we'd put them together on the way home.
ReplyDeleteThe fun part was getting them to run... and them racing on the walkways below decks in the container holds.
My 2 neighbors, who work at the Cape, gave up and bought motorcycles. It's 33 miles to the front gate from the neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteDrive safely, but enjoy yourself too.
What do the twins think of "Biker" Daddy?
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!
