VT 1984 welcome to the jungle man! you got a great scoot there bud!

 

OP - I know how that goes. You'll be back. I stopped riding to raise a kid. When she hit college in '96, I bought a '73 BMW R75/5, fixed it up. Then a '71 Norton Commando. Way more fun than the BMW. Then a '99 XL1200S, stage 1. Then a '99 FXDX. You'll be back.

 

Greg, sorry to see you give up your skoot. You have good taste and an eye for customizing. You did your bike just right...not too much, not too little.

I know exactly where you are coming from having raised (and still raising) two kids who play sports. I am fortunate that my son is going to be 18 in less than 2 weeks and he rides with me and my daughter loves to ride too.

I'm sure you'll be back with another great ride. You either have the bug or you don't, and you my friend, have it.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the welcome!

 

Thanks and I know it, I told Greg that I would have done it the same way.

 

I work from home a lot bberck and used to have a lot more me time than I do anymore. My kids are older and now both play school sports. Daughter plays tennis and son plays them all and of course he has ball and 3 or 4 baseball camps during the summer as well. Add to that my best riding buddy selling his scoot last year and I just wasn't getting the chances to ride anymore.

I think the bike is in good hands with Phil. He's a good guy with a lot of bike experience and knowledge and was very patient with me during the purchase process and still is being patient (we're now waiting on the title to come back from HD).

Ironically, I just traded out the standard forward controls not long ago and now Phil really needs to trade back to standards. So, if anyone can help him out, give him a shout.

Phil, if you ever need anything powdercoated, Joe (JRK) is your man. And if you need any help or advice, all of these guys are awesome. Bberck has helped me several times and you can tell from his bike, we have similar tastes. Jake has been great as well as have many others around here.

As I said, I'm not going anywhere. Without a bike, I may not be around quite as often or be as needy when I am around, but I'll definitely be checking in.

Maybe someday Phil will decide he wants something else and I'll be able to bring my old scoot back home in improved style.
