Welcome aboard!
I know about the finally part, I promised myself one by the time I was 40, didn't happen till I was 45, $6 for a used EG CLassic, put some $ and lots of elbow grease into her, she needs paint, but still can pass for ridable, infact for 22 years old, she looks pretty good where the sun hasn't chewed it's way through. Lot's of cool people here, lot's of good info!, Enjoy!
