Institutionalized
May. 25th, 2010 03:30 amMy motorcycle has become institutionalized. I've had it for 2 years and 2 months now. I've ridden 19,000 miles. The first year I rode 13 maybe 14 of those. I got rid of my car(voluntary repo) a year and 5 months ago. It was the best financial decision I've ever made. But it had one unforeseen and tragic consequence. I haven't gone joyriding in a year. I ride my bike to work. I ride it to school. I even ride it to my hockey games gear and all. I don't ride out to the lake. I don't ride out to another state just because I can. I don't ride up to the other side of town just to cruise. I ride for transportation. It has become all business and function. My poor baby has become institutionalized.
