Unbelievable.
Really; it's unbelievable. When Abbie and I decided to get a couple motorcycles, who knew some things could be so difficult?
In a post below you will see that Abbie got a 1954 Matchless; an old bike made in England. It turns out that the Matchless is a bit more of a project bike than what was described in the ebay listing. I test drove it for Abbie when if first came in and it doesn't ride very well either. A bit precarious. So much so that Abbie, as a new rider, is afraid to get on it.
So we went back to the drawing board. Obviously we will sell the Matchless and try to recoup what we spent on it. But if Abbie is going to ride, she needs a nice, small, lightweight bike she can feel comfortable on. So research began on the small offerings from Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc. They are all probably decent bikes, but they lack the cool factor. And, let's face it, cool factor is very important. But Abbie happened across the bike you see pictured here! It fits all the requirements: small, cheap, entry-level.
So, join me in welcoming Abbie's new bike, a Johnny Pag Barhog. And the adventure continues as Abbie learns shifting, turning and braking on a motorcycle!
