Hello Humans!! this is the story of my life, love and all that comes with it..Take a seat and relax as we go Uphill, downhill, on meadows and mountains, I promise the ride will be wild and will have u laughing all the way..So ready or not here we go….zoom..
Let me begin by introducing myself.. I am a KHS XC 204 Mountain Bike..For more information about me, take a look at what my human’s had to say the day they bought me..It is definitely more interesting than what I have to say about myself..
The lady goes first.. Wow! she says.. he is a good looking bike..look at his paint job..so hot ..and those tires looks dangerously cool..He is purely male..she purred.. I know love at first sight..and oh the lady was in love alrite..with yours truly..But my man being the man looks at the finer details.. With a sigh, he tries in vain to educate her.. ‘Honey’, he says.. did u notices the gears, 10 in all and 27 speeds, he is a powerful mountain bike.. hydraulic brakes , the rock shox ,full suspensions and the tires are John Tomac Nevegal 26x2.1.. and the frame is the best..AL 6061 w/4-bar Horst bearing linkage frame ,
‘oh really’ she says , I wonder if this Horst person likes the color red. See the bike’s frame has pretty red in it.. I would love to have red shoes to go with it..How about u?..That seem to have put a stop to the conversation.. The humans are an interesting race I tell u..
Listening to the adults talk the little human they call cookie, who seemed not so impressed because I dint have a bell, contributes to the conversation.. We’ll call him Ninja daddy..See mom he is black mostly and has a little white and red..he looks Cute like a deadly Ninja, she exclaimed.. So that is how I got my name..I think I like it..It has a Zing to it..
(A cute deadly Ninja ?..only a little human can get away with such a colorful imagination)
Now that I have introduced myself, lets get to the part where I meet her..
It was late when I got to my future home..the garage of the mom and daddy..Daddy took me for a test ride and getting back to the garage afterwards, it was already dark..Just as I was getting acquainted with my new home..I heard a voice saying ‘Hello there’ ..Hallelujah!!..i almost cried with joy.. Waiting for a few days to be assembled in a co-ed Bicycle store, I knew that delicate hello could only belong to a girl bike.. And what a hello it was..the voice sounded like tinkling bells..I said a hello and waited patiently to hear her speak some more..Welcome..I am a Schwinn cruiser and the humans call me Green Apple..and who might you be??.she asked in that delicate voice of hers..My turn to respond and what happens next was a first and it makes me speechless even now just thinking about it..’I..huu\..hmm..I am a KHS XC 204.. they call me Ninja’’ I Stammered..What in the world happened to me..The few days I spent in Bull Run bicycle store I was known for my charm.. I was the bike with the best pick up lines ever..I could charm the breaks of a she bike with just a smile..(oh u humans, u dint know we could smile did u now? )anywho, what happened here was a mystery, was I, the all powerful charmer, stammering??I must have been more tired than I’d thought.. i wished very badly that my friend Trex was here, listening to him say,’ u have nerves of steel my friend’ would have helped a lot..
That voice again..Was she a witch..Must be, no other reason for that embarrassing Stutter a few minutes back..I consoled myself.. But still questions are running wild in my head..What is she like?Will she look as pretty as she sounds..She must definitely be a cruiser..a true lady..A shemountain bike would have never sounded so smooth.. After all I’ve had my share of girl bike pals.... the wild rides and the adventurous dates..The fun times..Good times..
She interrupts my thoughts with her tinkling voice and bids me a Good Night..Oh the pity I would have loved to hear her speak the whole night..This thought gives me the Jitters again and with good reason too..i’ve never wanted to hear nonstop, all night chatter from any of my previous Girl pals u see..
My very last thoughts before I retire had something to do with Trex’s very complicated explanation of Love..i manage to throw in a ‘Oh darn’ before I grow silent and rest..
Early next morning the same beautiful voice wakes me up gently.. Hoping it was not all a dream I open my eyes and look around..Volia!!There she is..bathed in the morning glow of the sun ..the sun rays shimmer off her frame..She is the most beautiful girl I had ever seen..Green and white and that pretty basket..such lovely curves..oh and I was right..she is a cruiser.. She is as delicate as a flower, the morning dew..i dint know I could be poetic....I realize that I’m starting at her, but cannot help myself..With a tilt of her handle bar, she looks at me funny and does a giggle..is that a blush I see on her face..ohh..can she get any prettier..
I kick myself hard struggling to stop the staring..First rule of charming ..never stare at a lady like an ape ..my mind works furiously..I have seen cruisers like her (but never as pretty as her)in Bull Run bicycles..They are not easy to please..Playing hard to get all the time..But I have a winner pick up line to get the party started..Before I deliver that killer punch line..she says in that heavenly voice, ‘Good morning Ninja..it is nice to meet you, happy to have company at last..I have been alone for a month now..i am from Chicago..where r you from? Oh and I like your name..Ninja..sounds nice..and just like that another giggle escapes her pretty lips..
That beautiful girlie giggle has me speechless for the second time..and also has me pondering..Was it really that simple..She is talking to me..Doesnt she want me to wine and dine her before she talks 2 sentences in a row? hmm..this girl is a mystery..a lovely mystery..Must be my looks..Who can resist the Ninja look..i flash her a killer Ninja grin..
I tell her I am from Arizona, i am very pleased to make her acquiantce and that her name is lovely too..She blushes again..My god and what a blush that is..I am confused..Is she playing with me? Why is she talking to me..How many days passed in the store before I could get the pink cruiser to give me a second look.. she was flaky as a pastry sheet though..i was glad I dint spend any more time on that flaky pinkie..
..And here this pretty Green Apple is talking to me with no fuss..what does she want??hmm..Women….All mysteries I tell u..i am quite, I want sometime to think..If only Trex was here…
She interrupts my deep thought again, ‘U know,..I was in a store for sometime and had many friends..How about u, were u in a store too? ..did u have many friends? Where u sad when u had to leave them? i was very sad to leave my friends..i hope I’d see someone sometime..’ Do u understand the human language?i don’t understand much..
what do u know she is a talker too..big time..I turn to look at her a little annoyed with her nonstop chatter..but the way she looks at me..make my harden frame shake like Jello..so naïve and beautiful..I decide that she is not like the other ladies in the store..She is different..The day moves on with questions and more questions..I am beginning to like talking to her and but it is getting a little tiring too..
Is it evening already? The dad, mom and little cookie are back..The say their hellos to us..Finally some action..the mom and dad are going to ride us..So together we go..I was impressed with Green apple..though she was a cruiser she kept up with me easily..Her chatter is almost nonstop, information about the path we travel on..The adventures of Stud Muffin, a little pony in the farm next to our riding trail..Little anecdotes about the humans and their conversations with each other..
What did I like more..the interesting stories or her voice..Hard to decide..Is this what they call ’Down to Earth’ I wondered..Along with the confusion an alien feeling kept blooming inside of me.. I dint like it one bit..I swallow hard and try to make it go away..
The most amazing thing about Green Apple was that she does’nt expects to be called beautiful ever 5 minutes( not like the red racer in Bull Run..my god she was a hand full..)..infact Green Apple seemed oblivious to the fact..and it was very refreshing..
Doing what I do best, I took daddy to the top of a hill..Zoom we went and Green Apple and mommy were waiting and watching us perform..Oh ..how I wanted to show off all my 10 gears and 27 speeds.. that is me..I like to show off to the ladies…and esp to Green Apple..
Doing my back flips and front wheeling..i take a peek at Green Apple to see if she was watching me..And what do u know..she had her sights somewhere else..I wasn’t happy..On our way back I asked her, what she was looking at..She happily chirped away about a rough and tuff dirt bike..I dint feel too good inside..Wow!! what was that all about? Was I jealousy of the dirt bike..Nah that cannot be..Ninja doesn’t get jealous..With that though in mind I speed away, going faster and faster leaving Green Apple behind in the dirt..When she finally catches up..She looks at me with something close to hurt in her beautiful green eyes and tells me, ‘u left me behind..u dint wait.’.
Ok..now I am really confused..She knew me not 24 hours back and she can feel hurt about being left behind, after all she was happy a minute ago mooning over the dirt bike..maybe he should accompany her..Hold it right there..What was happening here??I take a deep breath and clear my mind..
So how do I respond to Green Apple’s question now??..it is hard to concentrate with those piercing green eyes drilling holes in my very soul..i don’t know..Trex where in god’s name are u??Trex is more understanding when it comes to the matters of the heart..Not knowing what to say..i just say..yeah??
Her turn to rush off without a word..I scratch my aluminium alloy head..what did I do now??I give up and go home, back to my garage and a very lovely but confusing Green Apple…
Just when I was beginning to relax a real scary thought gets to me..So what did Trex say about arguments being a strong foundation for..Oh Hell No!!
Arthur’s Note: this is just the beginning folks..More anecdotes of Ninja and Green Apple to come..Will romance bloom?? Are arguments really the strong foundation for Love!!Why don’t you wait and find out..
