My newest midlife crisis

[Neal]

Haha. I lost my car and needed a way to get to work. The dealership was walking distance an they approved me for a loan.
I had been on a bike for less than 5mins and never got it out of 1st gear.

I had to wait a week for them to get my bike in so I read how to's online, and watched some YouTube videos.

That first night I put on 100 miles.

I'm just glad I got it off the lot :o

I've seen people wreck the bikes before getting it off the lot. So yea, I'm glad you made it off the lot as well.

I'm seeing a lot more commuters on motorcycles in the lot at work this year. Last year it was 1-2 over the summer, this year there are at least 6 every day and that's after we had a big layoff in January.

The only bad thing is with all the new technology and the smart phones, many people don't pay attention while they're driving and this results in a lot of motorcycle fatalities.
