rmdBike:
I may finally be selling my motorcycle. *sniff* I had great fun with that bike, and love it dearly, but I can't ride any more[1], So I really need to get rid of it and let it go off and have awesome times with someone else.
I got an unsolicited nibble for the bike from someone who wants to buy it as-is, which is kind of awesome - since it hasn't been ridden in several years, it needs some work and a new battery before it's even remotely rideable. Possibly new tires, too. I suggested a price of about 1/3 blue book (since blue book presupposes a working bike...), so I'll see what happens with that.
It's early:
I have to be at work at 0500 tomorrow, so I'm shifting my sleep schedule a bit today, which is why I'm nerding around and posting on LJ at 0530.
Things that are awesome:
I love that my girlfriend laughs in her sleep. It's utterly adorable.
[1] I have a medical condition that includes "slow reflexes" as a symptom. When my drug levels are good, I don't notice any problems. If my levels are off, I feel "my brain is slowing down" kind of stupid, and I am convinced it was a contributing factor in a car accident I was in a few years ago - it was a 'slow reflex, rear ended someone' kind of accident, and a month or two later my meds got adjusted upwards. I stopped riding then, because if that happened on a bike, I'd be dead. So, yeah, I can't ride any more even though it makes me sad.

The slow reflexes, I know them, and I wouldn't put them on a motorcycle. There are days I won't let them drive the car. So, brave and wise you. Sorry Teh Health has cost you a fun thing, though.
