RE: I'm on the road! Mostly!

Very nice bike man, super excited for you.

Ownership is always the way to go in my opinion, and I only feel that way because I had a car repossessed that I had paid half of the overpriced principle on.

Apparently he has a pregnant girlfriend and this was going to be her bike to learn how to ride on.

Sounds like the owner was pretty cool and responsible with his thinking regarding his pregnant gf and a likely need for some financial resources in preparation, and by the sounds of it he gave you a pretty good deal. It's always nice when a deal goes a way that makes both parties mutually happy.

Your dog is looking happy and relaxed too.
