So quite a bit has gone one since I've last posted. I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation class and took and passed the exam for my motorcycle endorsement on my TX driver's license. I then bought a used 2005 Buell Lightning CityX, and promptly wrecked it (totaled it, actually) in the parking lot of the dealer where I bought it. A broken thumb, a scraped up knee, a bruise on my thigh the size (and shape) of Manhattan, and bruised shoulder and elbow. So I'm now mostly healed (I still have a lump in my thigh from the bruising, and my broken thumb is now mostly healed, at least enough I can type, but not play basketball...)
