Starting day three....

[Gavin]

of life without an Electric Vehicle...

I'm holding on ok...feeling mostly strong, but a bit "disjointed". The air smells off. Food tastes sharp and slightly spoiled...

I tried to plug in the dog this morning...he did not appreciate it.

I rode to work with my motorcycle helmet on...I got strange looks as I was in my pick up.

Arms still itchy. I think there may be bugs under my skin...will look later....

But it will be ok........


ok.....

ok...they picked up the bike at 8:30 am on Wednesday...53 hours later and I'm as dirty as a Frenchman...

I don't know how much longer I'll make it....




Just replace Marge with Brammo...And "Lose your trust again" with "lose the Brammo again"

I'm sorry, but I am almost happy they took your bike. Your posts here and on the blog were the best laughs I had in a long time.

I do hope they realize your potential as a spokesperson for the brand. You could become Brammo's version of the GEICO Gecko!
In exchange for a few commercials wearing your panda costume, they pay you with a brand new plus and/or an Empulse R.

nice post...other than the "almost happy they took your bike" comment...for which I plan to hunt you down and....no, gavin, no....gavin mustn't lose control...gavin won't get the precious if gavin harmsssss the ninja...

56 hours...i am now using a slow injection morphine drip to combat the pain...

as for your post...I would happily wear my panda head in commercials for Brammo...heck, I would go all Tropic Thunder and wear a real panda head if I could get back on a Brammo bike....

Maybe if Zero finds out that you are in need of a fix they might try to convert you and send you a 2013 S...

[Gavin]

59 hours...skin hurts and eyes are pulsating like the head veins on those creepy Star Trek Aliens that were testing on that Empathic girl...

I remember those old magazine covers, buy this magazine or we shoot this dog...well I can't do that as my wife would kill me.....

so





get me a Brammo or I eat this 4 week old Golden Tabby Tiger cub.


it has come to this......


Gavin

[Gavin]

eh, who am I kidding...look at my face...that cub was just toooooooo cute and sooooooo soft....


as soon as the cub touched my wife's cheek she almost started crying....

Adrian just called to ask if I wanted to test an Enertia Plus. A black one. Cool!

[Gavin]

Really? He called you from London? Sweet of him....




Actually I don't know what exactly will happen with T'Challa... the test bike.......

She will be missing the Day of the Dead Parade

And I am giving a presentation to college bound 7th graders at the end of the month...mostly about my education and job...but also about my outside interests...just a program to try and keep the kids interested in school/college, but show them they can still have fun outside of work...etc etc....I wanted to show them the Enertia Plus...

so...hopefully....she comes back....

Yeah, he actually Skyped me while hang-gliding off the cliffs of Dover.

day four:

the dog keeps his distance...still...it was a bad time...twice

i am keeping my movements to a minimum...to conserve strength...oxygen...something...not sure why.

but the fetal position seems to keep the shaking at bay. and that is important...once the shakes start...well it is a bad time...and the dog howls real loud the whole time.

i've had the neighbors call the cops twice. any more and i don't think i will convince them to leave without a psych consult...

i duct taped the dogs mouth...so that shouldn't be an issue...but now anytime i get some sleep on the floor in my fetal position, he will wake me in a most unpleasant way...

gavin...

[Gavin]

and I'm kinda sad nobody mentioned my super cool Tropic Thunder photo....grrrr



or maybe it is only funny to me....wouldn't be the first, nor last time that has happened

Hang in there, Gavin!  Comfort yourself with the thought that your extended test ride data will benefit every Brammo customer by providing valuable insight to the Engineering and Service teams...

I haven't seen Tropic Thunder, so sorry that one went over my head...

[Gavin]

Thanks Brian...

I'm actually just playing around here...

no worries...glad for the time I got with the bikes...and will be extra glad if I get any more...

I do try and do at least 2 trips a month on the Brammo...both because it is fun and to "pay back" Brammo for lending me the bike

So I had a couple of fun events planned for November...that is really the main reason I am a bit sad at the timing...

today is the Dia De Los Muertas parade...still doing it...but it would have ROCKED on the Brammo...

it starts soon so I have to get a move on..in fact I'm uncurling from my fetal position and grabbing my Panda Head right now....



Gavin

[Gavin]

well...it's been a while now...without an electric motorcycle to ride daily, well I feel myself changing...

in a rather Kafkaesque turn of events I have morphed into Grumpy Gavin...

I just took a photo of myself and this is what I see....




































































i hope a bike comes soon and that this change is not permanent.
