New Toy

On Saturday I made a quick run over to East Provo to take a look at a motorcycle that was for sale. I took Aylee along with me as a little date. We talked to the owner and he said that he was moving back to Hawaii. He had to get rid of the bike and wanted to sell it as quick as he could. I gave it a good test drive and then started to ask him questions. Before we got into the price talks, Aylee kept trying to help by saying, "Dad, this is the cheapest one of all the bikes you have been looking at." I kept shushing her, hoping that I wasn't losing my negotiation position.

We haggled a bit to where I was able to get him to go down from 2,100 to 1,800 on the bike. He also threw in a helmet, cover, and a five gallon container full of gasoline :).

It is a 2002 Honda Rebel - 250cc. I was surprised with the power that it has. I took it on the freeway today and hit 75 without any problem - however, I backed down to 60-65 because I don't really like the thought of my body traveling that fast in free air.

I have driven it about 30 miles so far and have really enjoyed it. So I guess that leads me to my next question...anyone looking for a cheap 50cc e-ton scooter??? ;-)
