So here we are in the middle of a global recession, and making it even worse is the fact that my Suzuki Boulevard is locked up in my friend's garage somewhere in Western New Jersey. With my savings nearly half of what it was a few months ago, my dreams of acquiring my idyllic Yamaha Stratoliner have went up in smoke with many other pipedreams.

But I remain hopefull. And I look forward to having my dream bike sometime in 2010 for my 50th birthday ;-) Not a bad dream. I'm hoping that I might have some cash leftover for a few accessories.
