Santa was nice enough to bring me a Unistar TX for
Christmas.
My brother and I mounted it once or twice in the front room,
where the ceiling is high enough to accomidate a 6 foot guy
atop a 5 foot uni. Plus, it has rafters, which helped a lot.
When we talked my mom into letting us go outside with it
(it was freezing raining), we mounted with the assistance
of a large step ladder. However, the ladder got in the way
of family, so we abandoned it for the tailgate of my
uncle's truck.
Well, today, I was determined to freemount the beast. How
hard could it be? After 10 minutes or so of failure, I
finally succeeded. I immediately got the brilliant idea of
going on a five mile ride, since I didn't need something to
lean on anymore.
Two and a half miles into the ride, I arrive at the only
store in Peru,
ME. I guess I'd gotten used to being 8 feet tall or
something, but I swiftly hit my head on the roof over
the b*ke parking area.
It took more than an hour, including a fairly lengthy break,
but I finally completed this glorious ride.
