B-rad's been at it again. He has made yet another purchase. But this time, he says, "This will benefit you too!" Hmph, he's always thinking of ME...

We all know about his motorcycles right? To recap: he has one he rides on the street & he had one that he rode only on the track. That way if he smashed it to smithereens, he would still have one to ride day to day & the other would be fixed cheap. And B-rad likes to ride the ones that are affectionately known as 'crotch rockets'. Now let me tell ya about the person who rides on the BACK of the crotch rocket. Your knees are in your chest. After riding for 25 minutes I couldn't hardly walk when I got off of it. You are also leaned over at the waist the entire time. And you have to hold onto the driver for dear life so you don't slip right off the back.

So B-rad looked around on the internet & surprise, surprise - he found this: We had a blow out clearance sale & B-rad sold his track bike AND his older pick up truck to purchase an FZ1. (Again, no clue what that means. I think it's the model. Like I drive an Explorer...) (Side note - he was still a tad short after the blow out clearance sale & guess where he got the rest of his moo-lah? That's right, his wife, the saver...)

The FZ1 is like a cross breed of a crotch rocket AND a cruiser. Kinda...sorta... And you may be saying, "Uhm, Jaime Mac, exsqueeze me? Are there 2 bikes in the pic?" Well, my dear watsons, you would be correct!He still has his Gixxer (another model name?) to ride when he goes solo.
Like I said before, B-rad wanted to get this bike for ME. It would benefit ME. Everything he does, he does it for ME. So whatever, I know that's not really true. He has "always wanted a FZ1." (just like he's 'always wanted a Mustang' that you see broke down in the garage collecting dust & storing stuff..) But here's where he really kicks his argument for ME into high gear. The FZ1 has handles for me to hang onto. It is also more of a 'sit up' kinda bike. So I don't have to lean over him all the time.
Its pegs are also a little lower than the pegs on the Gixxer so MY knees won't be totally up in MY chest. So I asked, "Well, could you lower the pegs a little more so my legs could be bent even less?!" Crickets.... "Uh, I don't think so...that will get in the way of something (I can't remember what word I wouldn't understand he threw at me)...." Yup, just like I thought - it's all about ME!
