Well, got a job... and I got a key!

Good news folks. I'm currently employed. Working as a maintenance supervisor for a luxury apartment complex in the "wine country" of Woodinville. It's paying the bills and leaving little wiggle room for continuing on the GIN. You may be content to know that it did allow for the making and of these bad boys! Count em. That's two keys. one on the key ring and one for contingency.

Rode to work a couple of times and it was great! With the exception of properly operating turn signals, I have been using the old hands to let others know my intentions. I noted that Ballard hosts the "Backfire Moto" which caters to all types of two-wheeled beasties. Cafe racers are the main draw though few in number. The Backfire moto website (http://www.backfiremoto.com/) let's us know that all are invited. It would appear that if you're hard-core, soft-core, wannabe or posuer or possibly even the genuine article you can come and hang. Being more the former and not so much the latter, I'm there. They even have cool apparel on their site. The black hoodies are the bomb. I'm just not in a position to shell out the cash for an extra at this time. You know how it goes. Creditors, taxes, bills and food always seem to take priority in this world. motorcycles come up with the short straw. The therapy they provide though is cents on the dollar, which only the few understand.
