There is a local Lyons guy who I have yet to meet. He drives by my office (almost) everyday. The special thing about this guy is that he rides the motorcycle that I want. Now mind you, the picture above is not the exact bike that he rides but is very close. It's an old school BMW cafe style bike. It's absolutely beautiful, and would be the perfect size and fit for someone like me, not for someone who out-weighs me by at least another 200 lbs. I don't know of you've ever seen the Chris Farley movie where he does the bit "fat man in a little suit?" Well this guy is the fat man on a little bike, and it makes me giggle every time I see him drive by.
Dad and I for years have talked about getting me a bike for the summer to ride up and down the canyon to work. He (dad) has a old "vintage" motorcycle for me but it's a little too big and a little too heavy and frankly scares the crap out of me. I want to meet this man and see if he'll sell me the bike or trade my dad's bike for his (which would fit him much better) . I know it's a long shot but I almost feel like I need to rescue it. So, here's to hoping I run into this man before summer.
