‘Cause I need a vacation. Taught a 2-day radar class and three defensive driving classes in addition to creating a teenage driver safety program over the last two weeks; and today I get one day off before working 4 12-hour days. Then a week off for xmas. Perfect excuse to spend some money on myself, right?
Well, not exactly, because the realities of owning a new bike are coming home; need $130 for that all important first service (around $230 if a valve adjustment is needed). Plus running out to get a torque wrench and a 22mm and 24mm socket for adjusting the chain, which has stretched amazingly in the first 600 miles. I don’t mind doing service myself, but I’d rather the dealer do the first service- haven’t bought a service manual yet (another $60).
Well. Maybe I can squeeze some cash out of CT, who had me working on his website while everything else. Humph.
