Well, I traded my bike. I am now the proud owner of a 16' Fireball sailboat. Its from the 70s, but is in great shape. I will need to do some sanding and painting, but its all just grunt work. No complicated mechanics.
It was hard to let the bike go. But the guy who took it rebuilds bikes, so I know it wont be wasted. He is thinking of turning it into a bobber. I hope I can see it when its done.
For now, I'll be sailing.
This will be my last post on this blog. I hope to start another chronicling my boat adventures.
I am a 47 year old guy who has purchased my first motorcycle. One middle-aged guy, one old motorcycle and a total lack of experience! What could go wrong?
My Honda CM400T (Or E)
