Its nice to be able to do longer trips again. Although Ive forgotten how uncomfortable these machines are. Regardless, this one holds some significance. Over ten years ago I had two bikes to choose from off the showroom floor. Theres the one above, and the one I bought. I had buyers remorse. I opted for the slightly cheaper one. The slightly "safer" one. I was stuck with it for years trying to turn it into something it wasnt. Funny how I eventually got the one I shouldve ten years later. Now that I have it...eh. The woes of being a chaser.
At least its purdy.
