Monday (4/24) is elbandido's 3rd birthday. We've managed to put 17,650 miles on each other. Other than the Honda I rode in the MSF course, and a couple times on my buddy's ZRX1100, all my riding has been on elbandido.
I think the tone of our relationship (que the Carpenters' classic "Hurting Each Other"), was set from the beginning. I had my buddy ride elbandido home from the dealer because I just wasn't quite ready for the open road, having only ridden in class. The next day, I thought I would at least bring the bike out of the garage on get it up on the sidewalk and take a few pictures. I found that pushing the 500 lb monster was harder than I anticipated, especially when it got into the grass, where it bogged down and fell over on its side, breaking the mirror, turn signal (front and rear) and shift lever off. And I had yet to ride it a single inch. Ah, good times, good times….
