WOW! What a kick ass weekend. Friday HB n' I just kinda chilled with the kiddie. Saturday morning we went out to breakfast with my step-dad (yummy) n' he brought gifts for us all. HB got a massive butterfly knife, kiddie got a kick ass t-shirt n' then he brings out a bracelet box...I'm like oh, he got me some jewelry in FL...He said "If you don't wear it keep it at home & don't ever sell it no matter what." I'm like OK......I open it it's a herring bone gold bracelet...he said he gave it to my (deceased) Mom on their 10th wedding anniversary. (Can you say $700+ heirloom & tears pouring from my face in a public restaurant.) I was in shock. HB put it on me as soon as we got home. It still makes me weepy. I always saw her wear it (all the time) but I had no clue the signifigance of the piece. It's like having a piece of her with me...besides random jewlelry that I got to pick out. This means something. It has emmotional value n' I'm soooo touched Dad gave it to me. *wipes a tear, literally*
Well, I'll post again 2morrow morning about the goofy fun stuff...

As for the bike, there are shots of it in one of my pics folders or you can take a look at it in Leela's debut set. It's the green flamed beast. Once upon a time it started off life as a 1200 Sportster, but there isn't much of the original bike left. Stock parts: frame, sheet metal, left and right motor cases, 4th and 5th gear... that's about it.
After the Blast, if you're interested in Harley-esque cruiser style bikes, you might want to look into Ridley. My sister is 5'1" and had the same trouble you've run into with most bikes being too tall. For her, it came down to something custom and uber-expensive or the Ridley and she's more than happy with her decision. Her husband, who's 6' and 200lbs, even rides it sometimes... when he isn't on his Kendall Johnson built custom trying to catch up to me!
Hope everything is going great for you and yours!
