My brother-in-law is planning on getting a Yamaha FJR1300 sometime next spring. He’s trying to convince me to get a motorbike too. I doubt I’d get one like he’s planning on getting, but the new Honda Silverwing scooter looks pretty cool, and is a little more my speed (no shifting to deal with). My father-in-law already has a 1987 Honda Helix that I’ve ridden. It’s a fun little bike to ride.

I doubt I’ll be getting a bike anytime soon, although a Trek 2300 would be pretty sweet. For the type of riding I do, it’s probably overkill, so I’ll settle for a Trek 2000.

Since we’re saving for a house now, any big purchases will have to be carefully scrutinized. I don’t think I’ll be getting any of these for a while yet. Besides, I have nowhere to store them until we do get a house.

Labour day, and I’m taking the day off. Weekend was pretty decent. We were up at my wife’s parents’ again this weekend. This time her aunt and uncle (and associated horde of 6) were visiting, on their way back to NYC from their Florida vacation. It was an entertaining weekend. The first time in a long time there were that many people in the house. We ended up doing a bunch of cooking again, but it wasn’t too bad. At least there was no barbequing for me. We left that for my wife’s brother this time.
