Out and about.

.

.

A beginning.  Looking for a motorcycle.  Tried on a few helmets too.  A 2xl seems the size.  Though I would like to find a 3xl.  No used.  And nothing new in the size I would want.  Oh, I did find an Africa Twin, but it was probably the automatic, which I don't want... going by the price.  And, it... was probably a bit more of a bike than I could do from the start.  Though if I found one, at the right price and such?  I'd... figure it out.  But, brand new, and automatic, no.

After looking, I went for dinner.  A steak.  Haven't had one in a very long time.  And, tried something new... deep fried pickles.  Back, long ago, in Iowa, at the state fair, I saw them.  But I had spent my allotment, it was the end of the day, so it never happened.  Too bad, they are rather... interesting.

What, it turns, out, both shops suggested I look online.  And, there are bikes in the price range I am considering.  Though, really, I may go in and check with my bank... about a preapproval.  See how much I can get.  Further, negotiate.  Though, really, I would like to have some time.  To save, for a part down payment, part loan.  Just... thinking.

So, I will begin looking.  Not only that, but a lot of bikes are popping.  Which... usually... means a buyers market.  Unless they are being taken off the page as quickly, it does indicate a buyers market.  I would... love to get into a bike, before it gets too cold.  But, I don't have gear.  And, yet, I want gear.  Even if skeletonized body armor, for summer, fall and spring too.  And a helmet.  Helmets alone start at $200.  The armor and boots, so upper body, legs, and boots can all cost in the $200 range, or much more.

Anyway... If nothing else, I got out of the house, got a tasty bite, learned a few things, and am satisfied.  Plus, spoke with my mother and brother today.  My brother flew out to see my mom, on her birthday.  What a thing.  I thanked him, I did.  Quite a top job.  Life is good.  Anyway... later, or goodnight.
