Why, I ask you, on this perfectly beautiful Texas day am I inside spending MORE hours reading posts at my computer....?
A. I'm an information junkie
B. Surely the lawn can wait till another day
C. If I get off the computer my cats will get on it
D. No UPS truck in sight.... Dimension Edge says I have to wait till Monday to get the rest of my questions answered and poor me with only a non-motored bike
E. All of the above
So here I sit, 47, female living a very simple lifestyle on my limited income and feeling like I've gotten to know you all very well over the last several days so it would only be polite to introduce myself.
Why I'm here? Birthday was April 8th and completely boring since my 1989 Toyota Corolla with 237,000 miles threw a rod, so on April 9th I decided I needed a present.....
....Ordered a Dahon 26" Espresso with the Happy Honda 35cc 4 stroke engine with the auto engage system from Dimension Edge.
After reading so many sites, I felt this system was simpler and I didn't think my cheap Wal Mart bike was an adequate work place for any new engine so I had to order the whole enchilada (of course).
I know diddly nothing about engines, though I can put in my own electrical and plumbing systems in my house (self taught) so maybe there is hope for me.
This will be my prime source of transportation as I have just about everything I need within 10 miles of my house and most of it way closer. I bought the WalMart bike to see if I could still stay upright and also go forward at the same time (haven't tried it while chewing gum) and discovered that 20 years off a bike and living a sedentary lifestyle translates into burning quads and screaming knees. I actually used to enjoy this? was my thought on my few trips to the grocery store.
However, I recall the freedom and the amazing things you learn about your own neighborhoos from the seat of a bike... so I knew there HAD to be a better solution....
Let's just all think good thoughts about the work load at DE and that they will get to questions and my bike and it will get shipped and I will kiss the UPS driver (he's a friend... I'm not THAT weird) and then I will be able to truly say... I too am a motored bike owner.
And in boring background....I researched cars, I did apply for the $3000 voucher from the state of Texas to replace my car and I did (ugh!) even go to a dealership, but money realities sunk in and I went off on another tangent...scooters and mopeds.
After calling a few local dealers who couldn't answer my questions and reading so much on the laws and requirements (and expenses) I was so eternally grateful to have somehow found your site. I don't plan on getting another car for quite some time so it's you all and me and all my cats and my new bike for eternity.... evil grin.... laughing...
How does that suit ya!
Can't wait to talk to you instead of at you.
