They say you can't have too much of a
good thing but I think I have to disagree. The number of two wheelers
in my possession just shot up to eight. Lest you think I went out and
bought another vehicle, rest assured that is not the case. It was out
for repairs has now returned and is taking up space. This one has a
long story that I hope ends soon.
