IT’S READY!
The call came Sunday. Bart Grande (of Monster Garage fame!) has been re-building the carb and freeing a frozen piston to get my bike road worthy. Most of my experience with carbs has been centered on Dr. Atkins’ plan, so Bart was a God-send.
Oh yeah…that’s right…I’m soon to be a biker. I’ve got to get the beast insured and registered with the DMV, then it’s the open road for me. I’ve got my eye on a rad leather jacket, maybe some chrome accessories, possibly some airbrushed flames for the gas tank.
I took ‘er out for a little test drive tonight, just down the road to see how she handles. Like a dream! She hugged the road, cruised through the curves like a champ…I even passed a fellow biker, who gave me my first-ever official biker “howdy.” You know what I’m talking about? It’s the left hand extended low and to the side, 2 fingers out in the “peace, my brother” kind of way. Totally cool.
I’m not sure what the other guy was thinking, but I laughed out loud. Seriously. For the rest of the ride home. When you see my ride, you’ll know why.
let the good times roll, indeed.
