The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Tugging for all he's worth!
Logan was starting to get good at tbis. I was lucky to be stationed at the blowup obstacle course right next to it.
Logan at the bunjii run
This was a blowup thing where you had to see how far you could get with a bunjii cord pulling back on you.

Storage capacity
The three things I look for in a bike are fuel economy, riding comfort for distance, and storage. since I was used Yamaha Majesty, my new bike falls short on all three categories. It came with saddle bags which help, but you can't really put something in a leather bag with no lock and expect it to be 100% safe....not even 80%. I had the Givi trunk from the scooter and since Kat and I put the rack on the back, I figured I would see if the Givi mount would work on that rack. It fits perfectly and now I have my storage back (or at least some of it). The saddle bags expand somewhat (which the underseat storage and the Givi never did) but they are not completely waterproof or secure. The Givi case has a lock, and I used it extensively on the scoot. Now I have engine guards and pegs to buy (for comfort) and then I will be comparable to the scooter. Shifting doesn't bother me, and on the highway where the scoot would get worse mpg (down to mid 40's) the bike gains mpg (up to almost 50).
