A Motorcycle…Again
We all have our vices, it is probably important to admit what mine is: I have sympathy for machines. I know that sounds weird, but my wife will confirm that I have a tendancy to feel bad when machines are abused or neglected. This has lately manifest itself in the acquisition of a sad motorcyle. It actually looked pretty good, but was not running so I was forced to buy it. Cheap motorcycles are hard to come by so I bought it before checking with Ellen. She once again did not freak out which is awfully impressive.
I have figured out that I have no intention of trying to get better. I really do enjoy fixing things. I think I enjoy the contrast that working on machines affords to what I do on a daily basis. I love helping people with real estate problems but there’s something so tangible and definable about a machine that I find hard to resist. Unfortunately, riding a motorcycle is a lot easier than fixing a motorcycle and so once again I have three sold the motorcycle once it was back to perfect running condition.
