CR 400,
I love my bike it is over 12 years old. I am 21 it has been around for more than half of my life. It was born when I was in elementary school. I got it used from a really nice lady and I was lucky because it is the only bike that fit me of the dozens I tried. I try to take good care of it, but my Tori (that is the name of her) likes it when we ride. The bike is phenomenal. I don't understand why it doesn't break of fall to pieces at this age (knock on wood).
And yeah I agree, I love the places it can take me. I don't have a car so it replaces it. It takes me to my internship in the enxt city over, job interviews, grocery shoppings, the U, and to school. I never thought I would be able to do these things without a car. I am amazed. I love my bike. Staring at it brings to mind a whole new world of oppurtunities.
