    Default Fun While It Lasted...

    Happy Easter, everyone...

    On to my tale of grea sorrow.

    I got up at 6:00 AM to take our TinkerBell out for her morning walk. I stepped outside, and there was broken glass in the driveway... on MY side of the garage!!
    Somebody busted the winbdows, got a hold of the garage door release, opened it up, and stole my bike!

    The Police left a while ago, and I've been in touch with my insurer. What do we do about replacing a bike that was built to order, and no more of them exist? After some careful negotiations: we've reached some common ground:
    They'll pay me exactly what I paid for (including accessories, with no application of the deductible to the loss...
    I think that I'll wait for the 2019 "Project-S" to be released, and get one of them

    We even have the perfect license plate for it:

    So sorry for the loss of your bike. Stay hopefull the cops will find it soon. Then lock the varmets up and throw away the key. Try to have a happy Easter anyway.

    Bob,

    I actually thought the worse had happened, when you mentioned TinkerBell, and then you mentioned the broken glass, and I knew Tinker was OK. The other part was pretty funny; better than the kickstand, much better.

    Bought it... hook, line and sinker!!!

    I was really feeling bad for you for a moment thinking your brand new 2018 bike that you waited months to arrive was stolen. Then after reading the plate I started to struggle with the notion that I fell for an APRLFL. The part that had me sucked in the most was the creative "Sheriff" notice you posted.

    Well...I was sad, and then I remembered what day it was, and then I saw the license plate.

    Good one.

    The site is safe from me this year. I went back and read my two previous tries when I posted about the new Hybrid Spyder. That one actually worked twice.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
