    Lookit what my hubby ordered today!!!



    We have been talking about getting this for a while (this will allow our family of 3 to ride together, since DS is 9.5 and not quite ready for his own road bike)...and nearly pulled the trigger about a month ago, but then BOTH of our f'ing cars threw check engine lights within days of each other. Mine still has one, but we fixed what we thought was the problem (leaky gas cap) and within days it lit again...it's still a vapor/emissions leak of some sort. We're going to ignore it for a few thousand more miles, until it's due for its 60k mile service.

    DH dumped a few hundred bucks into new brakes and an O2 sensor, but decided the bike was still worth the expense, since we should have it in 6 weeks--we'll still get a month or two of riding in.

    The bike would be too big for me to ride captain, but the stoker seat will adapt to anyone from 3'6" - 6'2"...perfect for either DS or I to ride behind my hubby.

    Heh...I have a feeling I won't spend much time on the back of it--I'm too much of a control freak.
