MINE.
That's right: I put down a deposit on a bike.
This bike.
It's a 2007 Honda Rebel, gently (to the tune of 1300 miles) used. Will cost me $2500, which is the best price I've seen all year on a Rebel from this decade.* The only hitch is that she's down in The Dalles, Oregon, but I talked to

robertcalvin tonight and I think we've got that covered. I'm doin' this, people—I'm gonna have wheels and a motor again, and for the first time ever, they'll be entirely mine. 2009 is looking GOOD.
(And now I get to start thinking about names. For now, I'm leaning toward Leslie or Lucca; anyone got any suggestions?)

* Never mind the blue book: it's a seller's market these days, and everyone seems to know it. This price is more in tune with what a Rebel was going for two years ago, which is what I'd been hoping to pay when I started looking. (Shopping is hard, let's do math!)
