Ninja is good name for it, but, dude, too much info!
It took me a second to figure out what you meant. Now, I'm thinking I wish I hadn't taken that second. Eww.
You really do approach life with an optimistic outlook, don't you? I would be like, **** this nonsense, I'll pick it up tomorrow.
As it turned out, everything worked out fine. It was pouring like mad and windy as hell on the way down to get the bike. Chatted with the old owner for a bit, and the skies cleared up a fair amount. Managed to get home with only getting slightly wet from spray from cars - I could literally see rain all around me from some menacing clouds, but I managed to thread the needle between them.
I do tend to get lucky from time to time - the benefit of being an optimist.
Bike is fantastic, BTW. Tons of power, and very comfy compared to the old sport bike.
