And I'm still enthralled with the Spooky yokes.
Because the minds eye.
You see yourself on this steed, this machine that has always enthralled you, pleased your eye.
One comes along, the price is right, the size is close and you close the deal.
You take it home, strip it, clean it, lube and lovingly adjust everything to tuning perfection on the rack.
You feel your heart race as you wheel your NEW bike outside and lift your leg over it for the very first time.
You pull the pedal up into position, place your butt in the saddle and proceed to begin your journey.
a mile in you're thinking fun. two miles in your lower back is still adjusting to the position, then you forearms start to hurt about 6 miles in and by mile 10 you are thinking having is not as good as wanting.
