'Tis the weekend of bike interest
I'm pleased to see that my bikes are finally generating some interest. I've gotten several inquiries about both the Le Mans and the Z750s. I'm probably meeting someone on Monday with the Le Mans, and possibly Sunday on the Z. Here's hoping they're in a buying mood!
I called Lake City Honda/Kawasaki just out of premature curiosity, and they have both a blue and a red 2006 Ninja 250 in stock. With any luck, I'll own one of them before too long.
I am most interested in the red color, but honestly, the only color from this year's selection I wouldn't want is the yellow, leaving me with blue, red and black to choose from. Any of them would be great. Here's the red, from Kawasaki's website:
It's a pretty classy color.
Anyway, this is all premature drooling until I actually have some cash in hand and an empty spot in the garage.

Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against the holiday itself. Just the morons who go out, get blitzed, and then take to their cars as if nothing's wrong.
Fortunately, I'm speaking only in theoretical terms, and not based on some actual encounter. I had to come home late after a show last night, and I was hyper-aware of every car around me -- I suspect if a cop had been following me, he would have pulled me over on suspicion of being drunk myself. I was just keeping everyone at a distance as much as possible, and coming nearly to a stop at every intersection when I was riding through a residential neighborhood.
I really value being alive, I guess.
Anyway, nothing bad happened, I got home just fine. Still, I hate having to be so completely aware of all the drivers, and having to expect any of them to suddenly move unpredictably.
