Default Fuel to the fire
Just got promoted at work today. 4 years in now a Corporal with a $6k/year raise before taxes. All that means is that's another few thousand that I'll dump into the bike.

It's a good thing I love this damn bike.

One of the reasons I joined the military is for the job security. I mean, I wanted to be in the military since I was 14, but there were more benefits than I expected.
