My Xtracycle

I'm so excited! I took it for a quick ride in the snow. Works great! I even rode around with Chris on the back.

Almost here!

The xtracycle arrives tomorrow! I'm so excited! Now I just need weather warm enough to take it outside...

It's coming!

I've finally ordered my xtracycle! Very excited. It's being shipped to Velo City Cycles... Should arrive late next week or early the following week.

Now I've just got to trudge through the snow to the shed to pull out my bike and bring it into the shop to be converted.

Yay!

New Addition to the Major Family

On Tuesday, December 30th 2008, I became the proud new owner of this beautiful baby! It is an '03 Honda 919. This is not a sport bike nor a standard. Its rider sits more upright than the traditional sport bike (i.e. not hugging the gas tank) while having more power and good looks compared to a standard style motorcycle.

Although gas prices have been lower lately, I know that this too shall pass and we'll be paying more eventually. Between my recently much shortened commute and improved mpg (40 or so) vehicle purchase, I am looking forward to the warm weather that will be here in a few (maybe several) months.

This picture above would've looked cooler if I took the time to clean the mirror...

P.S. I drove this baby home from Wyoming, MI and it was really flippin' cold on the M6 highway!
