    Default I have mixed feelings about this...

    I just saw that my old RT is back at the dealership, and is for sale...


    I have so many good memories tied up in that bike... I know that it needs a good home.

    I think you met and know the person that bought it right? I recall a picture of her?

    You should call and ask her why? I think all of us would be curious to know.

    I made a whole lot of GREAT memories with that bike...
    I may have to reach out to Anita, and see what's going on...
    And yes; there WAS an incident with the bike...

    An experience shared, only makes the bond grow stronger!

    I bet the new owner got the 1330 fever just like so many of us, even though we had great bikes before

    I traded in my RS (SM5) when I bought my RT (SE5). The lady bought it, got it home, stalled it ten times straight in front of her driveway, and called the dealership. Told them to come pick it up, and bought a SE5.

    it sounds like you don't want to hear bad news if something went wrong with the bike. you sold the bike in good working order so if that is what your thinking i wouldn't worry if i were you. most likely she upgraded, call and ease your mind. you know them so it won't be a problem to call

    Default love affaire

    Hey Bob sounds like you are still in love or like a pet that you are forced to find a home for , and you need to know she is OK.
    I will be going to Klingers in the near future (coolant tank sprung a leak) I will ask Aaron what's up.
