After looking for one for what seemed like forever, I finally got a bike. It was finalized over a week ago, but the actual transaction didnt happen until tonight. Its a 94 Yamaha Seca II. Asking price was 1950, I paid 1750. Not bad considering the extra's it came with, and it has 17,000 miles. I rode it around the block (my first ever on a bike) and it was great. Steering is very natural. The fastest I went was 25 mph in second gear, but even that felt really fast. Its really wierd now sitting in my chair at the computer, I fell like if I lean the chair is gona start to tip over. I can't wait to ride it tommorow when its light out.
I started my insurance already, and it turns out it going to be less then they originally told me. Only 290 a year instead of 416 for liability and comprehensive (progressive). Anyways, here are some pictures I snapped tonight. Ill get some better ones in the daylight tommorow.

The last shot in there is what im working on right now to store my bike. There used to be a big bush there, but i took that out. Im gona throw it into the shredder and make some mulch with it. Then im gona lay down some cement slabs for the wheels to rest on, bricks to the side for the kickstand, and then fill the rest of the area with the mulch. Ill probably put bricks or a 4x4 along the edges to keep the stuff out of the garden. Also going to extend a roof from the shed over top of the bike to protect it.
