April 20, 2010. The day I bought my first bike. I had emailed a bunch of people on Auto Trader, Craigs list, amongst others. I received a response from Jon, who lives in Brampton. He had for sale a 1979 Honda CB650, for a reasonable amount of money. The bike had been on the road right up until Jon purchased a very nice new bike. Helen (btw who is amazing, and truly the only reason this purchase was possible, as she told me to go for it, and gave me the down payment....), and myself made the drive down to Brampton. I was in love!!! The bike called my name. Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron.
Jon asked if I wanted to start the bike to make sure its running. Now for the embarrasing part, I had never actually started a bike before. And being the kind of man that I am, well I just told him like it was. I was a bike wanna be loser....lol. It fired up like a jet engine.....and the dreams of the open road were fast becoming a reality. I then actually SAT in the driver's position. Scared as hell, and Helen laughed, pretty loud. She laughs at me alot.
We bought the damn bike. OH YEAH!!! I would complete the transaction the following week, and figure a way to get it from Brampton to Grand Valley.
