So, I hopped on my Bonneville Black for the first time this afternoon and had a blast. I didn't know riding a motorcycle could be so much fun. I totally need a new jacket, though. My pleather number was useless.

I thought it was going to be a joyless exercise in transportation.

Nothing like being surprised at what you think is a boring thing to do.

Poor choice for joyless transportation to work, most folks I know get a scooter if they really don't want to have fun.

Sarcasm, people. Sarcasm. I was, however, surprised by just how fun this particular bike is. Quicker and more agile than I expected.

Bonnevilles are spry little devils, aren't they? Especially the black ones - they are the fastest, or so I'm told. Happy riding!
