 I just did something I never thought I would do....
Well...I just did something that I never thought I would do. I said, "Good Bye" to a dear old friend that I have had for the past decade. Since that last of May I have spent all of my free time on my ST Limited. My 2003 Anniversary Edition Electraglide has sat in our garage without being ridden much. I finally got on it last week. The thrill was gone. I sold it this morning. I loved that bike so much and thought it was the perfect bike for me.....until I rode the Spyder...... Jill

Bitter sweet..!!
Always sad to let go...but if you loved it you did the right thing. It should be ridden and not stored. You have the pic's and memories and thats what counts.. So ryde on and wave when you pass her on the road.!!

My wife shed a tear when the guy rode off on our R1100RT 85450 miles.
I just looked away.

Decisions, Decisions
I'm kinda going through the same thing. After getting My RT, my VTX 1800 has been sitting more than being ridden. I got on it the other day, and the comparison to the Spyder was just ..... well, no way to compare. I did ride the Honda to work this morning, leaving the Spyder parked at home. Still the VTX is fun to ride, but I'm thinking about it ..... the big sale. Maybe !!

Sorry, but I couldn't let my '98 Springer go. Put too much elbow grease and miles on her. Oh, the places we've been!
Can't ride her anymore, but Hubby loves to ride her. Still feel a twinge seeing someone else on her, but she needs to be exercised.
The only thing that made my Springer look better, is me on her....

If you don't give up, they can't win.
