What I'm Doing...

  • Time for karate class already? I'm outta here. 29 mins ago
  • The children have abandoned me with Yo Gabba Gabba on the television. I feel like I've been sucked into someone else's acid trip. 50 mins ago
  • Starting another Windoze base install. Whee! I can hardly contain my excitement. 3 hrs ago
  • Meanwhile, I have to go reboot this Windows box. Again. *sigh* If that's my nemesis, I'm screwed. 4 hrs ago
  • @Locnar1970 @Greyhawk68 A man is defined by his nemesis! Who among you is worthy? 4 hrs ago
  • @cullenbunn is right: some days, it really would help to have a nemesis. 5 hrs ago
  • Why does installing Windows systems from scratch have to be such a long, painful process? Gah... 5 hrs ago

Meet Eve

By Mike | May 10, 2008

Eve
Originally uploaded by MikeOliveri.

Let the mid-life crisis jokes commence: I bought a bike.

She’s a 1995 Yamaha Virago, a small cruiser with a 250cc engine. I’ve dubbed her Eve after learning what virago meant. Her previous owner took wonderful care of her and she’s got less than 3000 miles on her. Not a bad find at all.

Now to review my Motorcycle Safety Foundation materials one more time before taking her for a spin. Incidentally, if you’re thinking about learning to ride, I strongly recommend the MSF courses. They teach you a lot more than “here’s the gas, here’s the clutch, enjoy,” and in Illinois it’s a steal at only $20.

    Always. The helmet is actually sitting on the seat behind me.
