I may have exaggerated, but it feels like it.

Monday, I sold my motorcycle. Sigh…

I bought my bike, a Suzuki Savage 650 about 6 or 7 years ago, it had 4000 miles on it and on Monday, I sold it and it had 8500 miles, I know that’s so not much in terms of a bike, having it that long.

I am not a hard core biker by any means, I guess I am a fair weather biker, when its nice I liked to ride, when its cold, I’m good not getting on the bike, I have a car! And sometimes when it’s cold, drop the top on the car, crank the heat, you just don’t have that on the bike.

I loved that bike, please don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing like riding, you get a different perspective being a little higher, and it’s a freeing sensation.

As I said, I didn’t ride it enough, as ED keeps telling me, I know, I know. He’s got chrome running through his veins, what can I say? He’s the one who gets the bike running when it dies.

I’ve been saying for a while that I need a new bike, partly because I can’t keep this one running, but also, I need something with a little more power, especially for riding on the highway. The 650 was a good bike to start with.

So, it was time to sell the bike. A friend of mine, JT, needed transportation, worked for Victory Motorcycles, so he is well versed at repairs and keeping them running. We struck a deal and off he rode.

As he was going, I called DCM to reassure me that I was doing the right thing; she would be taken care of, he would ride the bike often, make sure she was in good shape and I can put that money towards a new bike, something that is better for me and will get me out there to ride.

There is now a little more space in my garage.

So, THNG2, is gone, the end of an era…sign
