muttering:
>Greetings and salutations.... Shirley, let the whole bar partake on my
>tab... coffee for me thanks.
>
>I let my beloved go yesterday to a fella who bought it for a buddy as a
>gift, so they could tour and do their motorcycle ministry. (to each their
>own <shrug>) Tom and I expressed our genuine concern that they both take a
>MSF course as they are both middle aged and used to ride dirt bikes when
>they were younger, but he felt they didn't need it <heavy sigh>. I wish my
>new bike owner all the best and I hope he takes care of her as well as I
>did, and has the wisdom to realize he needs to take the frikkin MSF course.
>
>Movin on...
>
>Couldn't sleep at all last night. The anticipation of a picking up my new
>bike today made my mind race with some thoughts I never had before... Will
>it be too big? <Nope> What if it vibrates too much? <No problemo> How
>drastic will the difference be between my Virago and the new Sporty <Not
>that much different>
>
>So we went to the dealer this morning and said Good Morning to the SM and
>took off to find my new scoot, I couldn't find her, looked again, no bike,
>asked the wrench guy, he said she's right there... looked like a different
>bike, it looked bigger with the bags, windshield, and engine guards on. Love
>at second sight, yepper! Tom put the LP on and they brought her out, to
>explain what I needed to know, went in and did the paperwork... ran into a
>co-worker buying some do-dad for one of his many scoots and showed him my
>new bike... he said "maybe I ought to look at getting a new one too" must
>be something in the air over there in Mantua!
>
>Everyone at the dealer was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful,
>especially the mechanic, he gave me some useful tips, so did the SM, and
>Jane Carlton was so nice and gave me pretty good deal IMHO, no freight,
>$500. off MSRP, free first service, free shirt... and hopefully a future
>business resource. Good deal!
>
>Ok it's time to go now, I have all my stuff, pack it in the saddlebags that
>look big on the outside, but are limited in space on the inside, oh well.
>Fire it up, go around the parking lot, a bit nervous, I'm ok though. We are
>on the road, go down the road a bit, try the horn, it's loud, Tom even heard
>it ahead of me and slowed down, say by to Tom, off to work he goes. I rode
>around a bit to get the feel of my first Harley, I need to get new pipes, ya
>can't hardly hear it!! I love it, she handles like a dream, she's so smooth.
>The only draw back I can feel is the shifter seems rather close to the
>footpeg, same with the brake pedal, I guess I can get used to it. ;-) After
>about 100 miles, I started getting a bit tired and decided I better go home
>and take a break, after almost no sleep last night, and after that, I think
>I'll have to take her out again this evening! I'll post some pics next door
>later.
>
>If'n ya held with me this long, have another on me. I think it's time for a
>nap.
