      I just took delivery of my motorcycles, I used someone on Uship and it was cheaper than the big carrier almost by half. Also my wife who helped load them gave him $50 cash and sweet talked him into loading the rest of the bed up with tools! She is truly an amazing woman.

      So now they sit nestled in my new garage and I also have tools.

      Man did I feel naked with the only tools I had being a leatherman. Having a toolbox and power tools makes me feel better. My landlord was having trouble with something and I was about to say "I'll just fix it" but then realized I had nothing with me to do so.

      At any rate I'll probably take one of the bikes out this weekend and enjoy it.

              That one is a Reid Granite 1.0 bike, an entry level gravel bike. I’m no expert on it but it’s a solid bike to beat around on both on pavement and off. Bought it maybe a year and a half ago for ~$500 but haven’t ridden it as much as I should. That’ll be changing here- bike lanes everywhere!

                @jminer Nice! Sounds like fun. Saw the drop bars and disks, figure it'll be really good both on road and on easy trails.

                  She most definitely did - I am a lucky man! She sent me a pic of them loaded up and I was confused as I saw some of my tools in the bed with them. Pleasant surprise for sure!
