Last weekend Bolo and Flife went to Pete's Cycles to look at bikes. They both sat on this one and liked it, so Wednesday Bolo took me to check it out. We rode the DN-01 there, so we had to drive back to get the car, and then back again to pick it up. Kinda a good thing, because this gave the shop enough time to lower it. It's a TALL bike. Taller than Bolo's VFR1200R. They lowered it as much as they could then, and Bolo paid it off and rode it home. We have to bring it back for a check-up around 600 miles. When we do that, they have to shorten the kick stand so they can lower the bike just an inch or two more, so I can stand up flat footed with BOTH feet.
Anyway, so breaking in a new bike is..well.. it just sucks. Bolo's been super nice and is doing it for me. Today while I went to the store for a few things he went out for a ride. Now let me tell you.. Bolo's been riding for 4 years, driving for 16, never had a ticket... UNTIL TODAY. Well technically yesterday..whatever. Our 7th monthiversary (Thursday) Bolo got a speeding ticket for going 58 in a 30. He only got a ticket, so it's not so bad.
Anyway..here's our cute little Honda family. The VFR's the red one on the left. Derpy is in the middle and the DN is the black on the right.
Now I just have to get my motorcycle permit....
