If it hadn't been for John, I might not have a bike today.  I was thinking about it for months, and John and I started talking and egging each other on to get a bike.  Next thing you know, I was at the dealership with John and a cashier's check.  Then this girlie-man bailed on me and didn't buy one for himself.  But it's all good - 4 months later he stepped up and got a YZ250.  I've known John for about 7 years - he's a good man.
