Vroom!

Over a month ago, Scott was in a motorcycle accident.  Fortunately, he was wearing his jacket, gloves, and helmet.  Fortunately, he was going under 20mph making a turn when he hit the sand. 

Unfortunately, his bike was a loss.  The insurance company paid us for the bike and we used the money for a down payment on a mini-van.  A new motorcycle wasn’t to enter the equation until tax time next year.  We figured since winter was right around the corner that we’d just get a second vehicle instead of a motorcycle that wouldn’t get ridden.

 

We were going to wait to get him a bike.  That is, until my dad told him that he’d loan him the money.  I’m not a big fan of borrowing money, especially from loved ones.  But this was a transaction between Scott and my father.  Additionally, I didn’t really have a problem with this because it is one thing they have in common.  My dad bought a motorcycle earlier this summer and has been loving the thrill of riding.  It is something Scott and my father share, so I really couldn’t argue. 

 

Besides, a new bike means photo opportunities, right? 

 

 

   Isn’t he just handsome?  I can’t believe that he’s not a baby anymore.

I don’t know where this picture came from.  I must have been laughing pretty good about something. 

Side view of the bike.  Very big and very pretty looking.

Doesn’t he look happy?  He, of course, got a bigger, louder motorcycle.  His grin just doesn’t go away when he talks about his new bike.
