I babysat my kid cousins tonight, they're pretty funny so it was good times. We played some Wii, specifically Mario Cart and Sports Resort while they simultaneously used me as a set organic monkey bars. After I sent them to bed I took the opportunity to read the Mass RMV Motorcycle Manual. I'm considering applying for a permit and signing up for classes at a riding school in Beverley. I've a quick easy commute to work which would be a nice ride, especially around the lake. My Tundra eats winter conditions and is generally a blast but its a bit of a big bruiser in summer and with rising gas prices 40 something miles to the gallon sounds pretty good. I've the funds to buy one outright but I think I will instead take out a small loan and use it to build up my credit score. Right now I'm initially looking at a couple bikes, specifically the Honda Shadow Phantom, Ducati GT1000 or Ducati Monster. I'll need to go visit a dealership to get a feel for the size of the bikes, my major concern is that it needs to fit my tall frame and not be like a clown on a minibike.
