I Got My Father's Day Present

[Speed]

Picked it up yesterday afternoon, and drove it home.

A 2002 Suzuki Intruder VS800. 805cc's of fun.

The lovely wife suggested I get another motorcycle when the boy got his license, nearly two years ago. As you can tell, I haven't been in a hurry. Actually, I just hadn't found anything I liked, and I hadn't looked real hard either. When my buddy got a Harley V-Rod, I decided to start looking a little more seriously.

With the boy working, and running the road with his friends, Dawn and I have been sharing one car. Been a pain for her to get up and take me to work on her days off. (She works Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and half a day on most Saturday's.) Now she can sleep in. Also, when she's working on Saturday mornings, I won't be stuck at home without wheels.

The best part is, I knew the guy selling the bike, and he's the only owner. Check out the last photo and see if you're as stunned as we were.

Please pardon the quality of the photo's. They are quick grab shots so I could share the news with my PR family.
