Motorcycle dreams

[Yesterday: 4.5 miles; today: rest day]

I’ve been cruising Craigslist looking to see if there are any good motorcycles for sale.  This has been going on for about a month.

I have also been trying to do an internal accounting of why I’m looking at motorcycles.  I don’t have the extra money for a motorcycle; I don’t commute or do any kind of regular travel which would be conducive to motorcycle riding; I don’t have a place to put one.

I have come to the conclusion that I have no reason to own a motorcycle.  And I’m not sure that I want to own one.  But I would like to ride on one again someday.

It’s too bad they don’t have a “rent a motorcycle” like at the Dollar Rent A Car.  For $50 I could have my day of being too cold and then too hot, having itches that I can’t scratch, not being able to see into the sun, and watching out for gravel and oil on the road and cars that want to kill me.  Then I’d be good for another ten years or so.
