Yeah, and not a bad deal, either. No bike 'till our daughter is 15, but
I've got my Jeepster and the basement for a "datacenter". The one
exception would be if I can find just the right Indian. My daughter
wants me to get a sidecar. OK, I will.

Actually, I had permission to buy a bike last summer and I didn't. I
waffled too long (hadn't seen the Shadow) and her father bought me the
Buick, so I wasn't in need of a daily driver anymore. Well, bought *her*
a new Buick, which meant I got her 2-year old one. I'm really not an
ingrate, but if I sold the Buick, I could buy Al's Mercedes and finish
the Jeepster. I can't, though, can I?

She actually told me to go buy a bike and I didn't.

Ah, well.
