-regret-

i call these first top four, we used to ride together rain or shine

i call this one, telling the story of why I'm selling it



i call this one, i just realized that's a sad reason for selling it

and i call these last two, i don't want to buy it anymore.



Just kidding Mr.Pat, I'll take good care of her in Pa, but once its done you best buy it back, you're missing a fourth corner that needs covering.

:2012:

 Rode down to Philly to Derek and Jesse's for NYE, ate a ton of whiskey,woke up on the floor on a deflated air mattress with a stray cat staring at me, bike shoved in a 2 1/2 ft wide alley and had to stop twice on the way home before i puked in my helmet. But the city streets were empty and the bike was running strong, was fun dodging the lost heels and broken glass, nice first day of 2012.

Bob asked me to finish his CB 200T when he moved to Chicago, left me a few boxes full of nice new parts and none of them fit his bike, he said pretty please so we'll see how it turns out. But first on the list is to finish the Vespa and make it proper for Melissa's long rides to the liquor store.
