So long old buddy, I couldn't fault you if I tried. You were like a feather in the wind. A moth on cocaine. A schizophrenic best friend. You got a good reference and went to a proper motorcycle aficionado.
So what happens next? Personally I more often than not require something to obsess over, like thinking of the weekend to come, and of course the anticipation of a vacation. In this case, however, it is something more long term and very personal to me. And it's now in my garage.
Another motorcycle, of course. And in truth it is very personal and very subjective. In fact it's novel just how personal and subjective a motorcycle can be to a lover of motorcycles. It's a bike-mance.
Another Yamaha - 2023 XTZ1200 Super Tenere. Carved out of black marble - and it's got the weight to substantiate that, not so metaphorically speaking.
And what is the dilemma? Why, what bike to buy of course. I bought a new bike with the FJ-09 but this time it's different. Truthfully this time, it's serious; serious technology, serious ability, and serious dollars. So I chose reliability, more standard options, and although it's a behemoth I have found it quite manageable. And it's new - new smell, new look, and the feeling it was assembled the week before brings a giddy sensation.
Let's Ride!
