Riding

Dad got a bike over the weekend, and I took it out.

Haven't ridden on roads since I obtained my license eons ago, so it was a little scary at first. That and the fact that this was an old jalopy, a China-made moped that has seen better days... and the fact that it was a clutch-less vehicle made it all the more "different".

But 2 rides around the estate later, I took it out onto the roads.

There is something romantic about riding in the wee hours of the morning, with the cool night air, empty roads, and this vibrating machine between your legs.

But dang, that machine vibrates more than a scrambler, and one can still feel the shakes after you get off it...

Time to get a cool looking helmet to mismatch the jalopy. =P

I'll probably take it when Nat's a little older - about 1 year old? :0D
