So, it’s been a while since I mangled out some information using this here fine blog. There are perfectly valid reasons for it being so, like me getting a motorcycle drivers license. And getting a motorcycle as well. =)

These things make you value the time when the sun shines a wee bit more than you might usually do. I got my license the 1st of July and I got the bike the 6th of July and since then I’ve driven a bit more than 5000 km. It’ll still be some time before I hit the 5000 miles line, but until then I can always think about being the man that falls down at your door.

The bike I’ve got is a black 2010 Yamaha XJ6, the naked version with ABS (ABS was an absolute requirement when looking for a bike).

During these 5000 km I’ve already managed to get a screw in the rear tire. There seems to be something with me, vehicles and getting wheels punctured by screws within the first 30 days of ownership. For those of you not in the know, the exact same thing happened with my car less than a month after I had bought it. The funny thing is that I had a conversation with my dad before getting the car about how usual (or unusual) it is to have a tire punctured. He told me that he’s had two punctures in his life and that this was nothing to worry about. So, by his count I should be done with repairing tires by now. =)
