Well, its kool to ride alone and get some things off of my mind and my friends won't laugh if bail or wreck or anything. Its just that they hardly ever want to ride...lame sometimes I feel like I'm the only one dedicated that I know and if thats the way its going to be then so be it. But its nice to have people to just talk to and ride with and as for that iPod I'm currently investing in one I haven't decided if i want to get it before or after a new frame.
