Mr Toads Wild Ride

Okay, so I'm a dork and I ride around on the above little Yamaha. It's a ton of fun to just tool around on the little 80, plus, I always wanted a purple and silver bike.

After my first wild ride on the 100 that we have I have been a tad afraid of it ever since. I was right around ten years old when my Dad took me out to my cousins with the 100 and decided that I should learn to ride. So he got it started up for me and told me how to shift and how to go, but as I was flying through the field at a bagillion miles an hour in fourth gear I realized had no clue how to stop. I managed to miss the new house and the very large boulder and I miraculously never dumped it. My cousin had to run through the field to cut me off and to tell me to let go so that I could finally stop. Needless to say the homeowner came out and yelled at them for letting me ride a bike that was 'too big' for me (even though I could pick it up) and not telling me how to stop.

Anyway, after that my Dad picked up two 80's, put them together so that the purple one would run, and ever since I have ridden the little purple bike. Even though I might look somewhat like a bear on a bicycle... but my Dad looks even funnier on it. Now that's a good laugh.


Update: As of July 4th weekend I have ridden the 100 again. I decided to start it up and see how it would run, and I must admit that it rides much nicer through the fields with all the bumps and hills. :)
