Getting a new ride

It's been a while since the last post. There was a change of scenery and a lot of practical hoops and loops to jump through. 

But life is almost normal again and it's time to continue. But to continue - the first things is to get something to talk about. After extensive browsing of craigslist I managed to find a posting that looked somewhat genuine. There was plenty that looked like they were either suspicious or clear scams.

So, after few emails we took a trip to San Ramon via bank. Even in bank they warned that meeting a stranger with a pile of cash is kind of risky thing. I'm sure it is - felt pretty nervous taking BART to Walnut Creek and Uber from there to San Ramon. The person, let's call him Brian, who was selling the bike lived in a gated community which I took as a sign of a respectable member of a society who has better things to do than run bike selling scams on internet. 

Mister B. was very nice, very easy to deal with and had himself spent quite some time building the bike. I promised a good new home for very blue -96 Fatboy and we parted both parties happy.

Did you notice I said "we" headed to San Ramon earlier? Do you notice that bike is solo rider? Yeah, there is a problem there - we didn't drive the bike home. I called Big Mannie who arrived with a bike trailer and a big ass truck. What would be more convenient than let a pro to take care of things and just watch, relax and grab a beer.
