Yes, Yes. I just bought a new motorcycle. Well, its not new. Its actually a 1982 Yamaha XJ550 Maxim. I bought it from a friend I work with at Netconcepts. The bike is black on black and is in great shape. It needs a few newer parts but its almost as old as I am, what would you expect. It is Motorcycle, not a Crotch Rocket (sorry Anish). I have not taken any photos of it yet, but here is a picture I found online if you are curious to check it out. I will be sure to post pictures once I have taken them. I drove it for the first time last week. Who ever said “Its like riding a bike” has never ridden a motorcycle for the first time. Do you remember the scene in the “Italian Job” where Seth Green rolls up on that yellow bike of his….yeah, it was a lot like that. Me and my bad self toured the suburbs and tried not to fall over.

I will more than likely take it out again this weekend and I am certain that it will go smother this time. Heck, you know what they say…”Its like riding a bike.”
