As some of you may know I have not always had the best of luck with with motor cycles being borrowed, GLaDOS and Steph for example,

Since we passed our big bike tests, nbHacker and I have had another bike stolen (RIP Charlie). with the help of Random Zero we have acquired a temporary replacement; Bertha, she is a Suzuki GS550 ES.

Bertha Bike is the first Motorcycle I have ever had with a phone number, she has a phone number because I picked up one of these: “GPS Car Tracker with GPRS and Vehicle Theft Protection System[link]”
