So I did it. Yesterday I bought a 2001 Italjet Torpedo 50 2t, and today I got liability insurance and registered with the state, got my plates, got a weather proof cover and it’s awesome. Unfortunately it’s gonna rain tonight so I’ll probably not get to really ride it till tomorrow…
I rode the bike from the lower east side to williamsburg yesterday without tags, a little shady, but now I’m 100 percent legal.
Woohoo. Will post more pics tomorrow.
I was thisclose to buying one of these yesterday from a guy on craigslist. Unfortunately the ItalJet he was buying to replace this one fell through, so he decided to hold on to this one for now. I was all geared up, too!
Maybe next time.
Something I’ve been meaning to post for a while:
I’ve had some problems with the whole Friendster thing — I signed up, but I feel like it’s a fad that isn’t going to last very long… here’s something I read at Marc’s Voice calling into question the whole methodology of friendster:
A is my sister. B is me. C is my meth dealer. D is his “debt collector.” My relationship with my sister includes her trusting me not to introduce her to known criminals. Any service that proposes to remove me from deciding which introductions to broker doesn’t get my business.
Today I’m adjusting to the fact that my bicycle was stolen yesterday. Total bummer. I left it unlocked for about 15 minutes in a client’s stairwell, and when I came back downstairs it was gone. The really sad thing is that it’s probably someone somewhere in the building; it wasn’t like it was on the street or anything.
I walked around the neighborhood yesterday with my eyes open but saw nothing. It’s weird, every single bike I see — and there’s a lot of them — is potentially mine.
Here’s a pic of the bike:
It’s last year’s model. The new ones aren’t nearly as cool.
It was a gift from my dad. 
The stupid thing is that I had my chain with me (the $100 kryptonite lifetime guarantee chain and lock!). Doesn’t do much good in your backpack.
I don’t know, maybe one of these days it’ll turn up on Bedford Ave. In the meantime, it’s not helping my desire for a vespa…
