Keep Lookin' Good Lookin'

So far an offer on 2 Airstreams, one we wanted, deal went to someone else, the other, just that gut feeling that Airstream wasn't for us.  Back to Kijiji and staking out trailer parks - there may be an old one under some trees in a corner lot that someone forgot about long ago.  Sigh, we will just have to be patient.

So until that perfect Airstream comes along, what does one do in the meantime?  Well, buy their first motorcycle of course.  And why, would most sane people ask, would I want to do that.  Well, it's cool, been on my bucket list forever and what the hell.  Of course, I never take baby steps, so I bought a 2002 Harley Davidson Sportster, purple.  I just got my M1 license yesterday.  Here in Ontario there's a stupid thing called graduated licensing, so after 25 years of driving I have to be treated like a 16 year old again because apparently I can't be responsible for myself...

I was learning to ride on this Sportster:

 

 

 

...but it's pretty scary at 100+ horsepower and something called a centrifugal clutch and a touchy throttle, and those ape hanger are way over my head.

Here's my Sportster:

 

So for now, Flip Flops and Daiquiris will be about my Harley adventures.  We're off to Laconia Bike Week in June, hopefully Port Dover Friday the 13th festivities as well so there will be more than enough stories and photos to keep everyone amused, and what the hell...
