    Make 'im ride *****?

    No. I forgot all about it. I was so distracted by the activity downtown. There was also a woman walking around the club district, barefoot, in a very short dress. It was 5:45 AM; I wondered what her story was.

    If he did leave me standing there, at least I would have been in time for breakfast! :D

    Make 'im ride *****?

    Done. He's on his way home. That was an interesting experience. Catholic Charities - Secure Waiting Space (a homeless shelter) and the Salvation Army homeless shelter are right across the street from the bus depot. They were serving breakfast on the street in front of the one of those...

    Make 'im ride *****?

    The picture in my mind makes me smile. After a twelve hour bus ride, I'm sure Tim would not find it too funny. Offering him breakfast and a shower is probably the mature thing to do. O.k. Time to go. Don't want to be late!

    Make 'im ride *****?

    In eight hours and forty minutes, I need to meet the new owner of my 2006 FJR1300 at the Greyhound Bus Depot. Should I pick him up in one of my four wheeled vehicles, or should I greet him with his new beauty and make him ride on the pillion seat to drop me off at my house? (He's been on the...

    My last ride was last night

    I put it on craigslist last Saturday. I put it in CycleTrader the next day. I deliberately didn't list it here because I figured I would rather not sell it to someone I know. Then, Monday morning I had a voicemail about the bike. I recognized the name right away, but I thought to myself "No. It...

    Good Price for 2006 FJR? Need your advice on pricing - thanks.

    Kelley Blue Book value is $7260 (in excellent condition) That is about a grand more than what I would consider a decent price.
