It is amazing. Better than I thought it would be. I'd forgotten how good it feels to have that much freedom.
I'm hoping Danger liked it enough to forgive me. I had a weak moment of euphoria after surviving the talk to Sherlock's class, and told S he could have all the excess fingerprinting gear.
He's currently taking Mycroft's dabs, so he "knows when you've been touching my things."
The talk to Sherlock's class was today? You kept that rather quiet. Hee to his reasoning for fingerprinting Mycroft.
I'm glad you and John are enjoying the motorcycle. You are making them sound very sexy, but I'm with humantales: they make me nervous. We do want to see pics, though.
I hope whatever was (is?) bothering you at work gets resolved soon.
It was going to be next week, but Danger pointed out I may as well get it done and stop fretting about it. I pleaded lack of sleep and new bike to play with. He said the former would probably help me, and shook his head at the latter.
Whatever he claims, I did not pout when I had to stop riding and go to school.
(he says that, dear readers, but actually, he generally tries to look disapproving for a bit, first, then always loses the battle to keep a straight face and gives in and laughs anyway.)
Am I allowed to go up the road and say goodnight to the bike before bed? Check it's all right?
Hah! Mycroft just sat next to me, glanced over my shoulder at Danger's blog and said "Shouldn't it say 'professional Nanny to Sherlock (age 5), Mycroft (age 13) and Greg (age 45).'?"
I may have kissed the bike earlier. Well, kissed my hand and patted the Striple's tank, anyway...
Humantales - when you say 'danger tolerance' I'm not sure I entirely know what you mean.
I will post about going back to school, I promise.
Right now I'm hoping Danger isn't too angry about the sheer amount of fingerprint powder which seems to be all over the flat. Along with inky fingerprints...
Oh god fingerprinting is messy...It took me what felt like a million years to get all the ink off even with that special wash solution, when I was printed. (Not like that, they had to take a set of prints so they could run a background check when the SAO hired me.)
(he says that, dear readers, but actually, he generally tries to look disapproving for a bit, first, then always loses the battle to keep a straight face and gives in and laughs anyway.) I'm betting that that is one of John's best looks, trying so hard to seem disapproving - you're a lucky man, L!
Lindsay- I wasn't planning on naming it. But if anyone wants to offer suggestions, feel free.
Innie - it is. COmpletely adorable, as you can see his grown-up-nanny mind warring with his natural good humour. He gets a lot of practice at it, too. Just occasionally Mycroft also does it - when he's trying to be grown up and far too serious but you can see he just wants to have laugh (and generally does).
I was talking about the bike! You don't want to develop a tolerance for Danger!
And I'll bet that face is adorable. I can't tell you how many times Goofy (my husband) and I have had to duck into the other room and snicker. You'll remember those times, too, as some of the best. ;-)
Humantales - Danger is, so far, enjoying the bike. But we haven't gone fast yet...
Danger - I will do a poll, if there are enough suggestions. And no, no tongues.
Nameless - I can frequently only think of things that are a bit rude. And actually, you probably do what to earn one of those looks. His face goes all frowny, but the corners of his mouth twitch, and he looks adorable.
The real difference is that the bike is for riding, fully clothed in public. If you choose to get a leg over the bike, you deserve whatever third degree burns the more sensitive bits of your anatomy get from that tail pipe.
John, on the other hand, is for riding in whatever state of undress you choose in the privacy of your own home, flat, hotel room, tent or igloo. Hopefully getting a leg over John won't result in permanent bodily harm. Though if it does, the internet will laugh at you.
And finally, do remember that unlike with John, while you can ride the bike, the bike can't ride you.
(Have I sufficiently mortified everyone now? I swear, I keep expecting someone to invoke rule 34 on this conversation.)
I'm sure he could, but I doubt it would be deliberate. If this wasn't a family blog I'd tell you how a friend of mine tore his rotator cuff and threw out his back during an . . . adventuresome evening.
They do say most accidents happen at home.
AWAN - I think you're right. Rule 34 should probably be applied to all of the bike posts. And the ones with pictures.

Enjoy your (safe) ride!! (I'll admit that motorcycles make me nervous.)
YAY! Congrats.
Congrats, Lestrade (and John)!I hope its everything you dreamed it would be.
WOOO! Congrats!
♥ ♥ ♥
Do you need a moment alone, just the three of you? You sound a little breathless.
Just remember. Sleep with John, not the bike.
TTFN,
Bronwyn
IT'S AMAZING. Just to let you all know.
Pics??
hells yeah! PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

The work thing is very much ongoing.
Bronwyn - right. No sleeping with the bike. Only John.
Bike is for throwing my leg over, getting revved up, riding hard and chaining up. John is for...hang on, now I'm confused.
L - you forgot straddling.
Wait.
What are we talking about again? ;)
Mazarin - I find getting my leg over generally leads to straddling.
I've no idea what we're talking about any more. No doubt John or Bronwyn will be along soon to set us straight.
Well, not exactly straight in my case...
No, I think I'll just sit here and laugh.

He may have a point, today...
If grown-ups never get a chance to act like kids, they tend to disapprove of kids acting like kids. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
L-I'm glad the bike is everything you hoped it would be. And it's nice that you and John have a similar level of "danger" tolerance.
And I want to hear about your talk with the kids.
Sweet dreams to the four of you.
Sounds more like you need a chaperone than a nanny :-p
No kissing the bike goodnight either.

I am damn lucky.

You could name it Black Beauty? No, perhaps not. You ought to do a poll. You can kiss the bike if you like, just no tongue please.
if anyone wants to offer suggestions, feel free.
I can only think of things that are a bit rude (I blame you and Bronwyn entirely), I wouldn't want to earn one of John's disapproving looks.

Bronwyn, I think the whole conversation (plus Lestrade's previous bike blogs) constitute rule 34 :-)
I think we're all well beyond mortification, Bronwyn.
And I'm fairly sure John could cause some serious bodily harm...
