The End of an Era
I got my motorcycle a little over 4 months ago and had a blast learning how to ride, enjoying taking the slower roads, and having a new way to clear my mind of any issues. She was a good little bike, not too underpowered, and on a warm afternoon she'd pull all the way from first to 6th beautifully!
Unfortunately I've learned that that warm spirit takes a mean turn into cold distance as the temperature goes down... the hard way. So for those of you who met Kari, bid your farewells, she's on her way out. What i thought would be an amicable break up is really going to be me dumping her for as much as I can get. Before I post the picture of the day, I'll point out that I'm 100% ok, and she didn't go down or anything, just had issues with staying on... while I was doing a fair clip... 70 miles from home... up in the mountains... way after dark... when I didn't have cold weather gear.
So, without further ado, I present Dead Bike Walking!
Now to go find another way to plug the hole in my heart, already have a few plans in motion, but I'll wait to see what pans out before posting about Kari's replacement. Unfortunately it'll take a bit longer than I'd hoped due to the cost of a tow home, even with roadside assistance on my insurance.
