KRUG

i finally got one. i think it’s a dream of most guys (if not all) to own a motorcycle at one time or another. i have always wanted one but never really had the opportunity until recently. the people at tejas motorsports really worked a deal for me on this one. i actually found the bike at another dealership but they wouldn’t finance it for me. so i got tejas to buy it from them and i bought it from tejas along with their used bike service plan.

the bike is an 02 suzuki volusia and is in amazing condition. the only scratches that are on the bike are the ones i put on it from dropping it on both sides while learning to ride over the past couple of weeks. but they are really small. both times it fell over while i wasn’t moving so they are not scratches so much as pit marks where it hit the concrete.

i love riding it. unfortunately, it is really hot out here and i am too scared to not wear a jacket and full face helmet. i did ride it up the street once in a t-shirt and helmetless when i put the new pipes on it just to hear how it sounded. i drove less then half a mile total and realized why most people don’t wear protective gear. it feels amazing. but again, i’m too scared to do that.

i bought a really nice jacket and a really nice helmet that both match the bike’s colors. i also have a form fitting, no drag backpack to wear if i know i am going to be carrying books and such. the gear makes me look like i’m riding a sport bike and not a cruiser but i don’t care. i like them.

my BEST friend IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD AND ALL OF THE UNIVERSES COMBINED INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PARALLEL UNIVERSES IN EXISTENCE came out to see me this past weekend. it was as good as i had hoped it would be and much shorter than i ever thought it would be. except for the time she spent asleep, we used every possible moment to hang out and catch up on each other’s lives. and really, a lot has changed in each of our worlds which is a good thing.

so i took her around the city a little bit and together we decided that the west side of houston is much prettier than the east side where i live. we wound up driving 45 minutes to the other side on saturday to get thai food from a restaurant with good reviews. it was good but i’m not sure what we got was worth the hour and a half drive time. and believe it or not, she didn’t even come close to falling asleep on the mini road trip!

we also ate dinner friday night with my best friends out here…the newlyweds. and i took her to church with me on sunday and then had to take her to that dreaded place after lunch.

all in all it was an amazing weekend. way too short but much needed as well. i really have missed her and while that hasn’t changed, i feel some better after having gotten a riss fix and restocked on hugs.
