Today my almost-new 2005 Honda CB-250 motorcycle was delivered by the kind seller who brought it around from a few suburbs away.
When I first went to see the bike I got myself all psyched to pay in cash and ride my new pair of wheels 10 or so kays across the inner western suburbs to home. Then I arrived at the seller’s place, looked at the slightly steep hill, took a test-ride around the apartments’ carpark and decided my 7 hours of experience would leave me with a pretty daunting ride home! Luckily, the seller wasn’t ready to finish off the financing and had left the rego papers at work, so even when I’d decided the bike was perfect, it wasn’t the day for me to ride off on it. A week later, the (NSW state) REVS certificate and other bits and pieces done, my bike was finally parked outside my place, I’d bought my riding gear, comprehensive insurance, and was ready to ride!
