:banghead: Short, stinkin' handlebars.. you had nuthin' to grab, and no leverage to work with... :gaah:
I dropped in right in front of thee owner of the shop too. :yikes:
His calm response: "I guess that you won't do THAT again; will you?"
I thought it meant that I was a goner... :shocked:
I worked there for two more years after that!
He was a cool dude! :2thumbs:

Was it like this one, Bob??

That was my bike in '86!

It is an absolutely GORGEOUS color!! :2thumbs: I walked around it for a very long while... I'm not wild about the decal on the rear side storage compartments... The chrome trim pieces on the side DO have "Can Am" blackened out...
Ann; you were 100% right... It dfoes come with that accessory shelf in the top trunk! :thumbup: (And no frunk release button! :sour
Aaron Shelton: their technician; let me fire it up... :shocked::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: Did I mention yet how much I love the new sound?!? :2thumbs::yes:hyea::yes::yes:hyea::yes: An Angels' Choir; would not have sounded better.... :thumbup:
Then... :shocked: I went to find where they had my old bike stored... :shocked:
Sitting in the back of the unheated part of the building... in a row of used, dusty, and forgotten former "Pride and Joys" it sat...
I touched the seat that carried the Missus and I over all of those great miles... I remembered the really GREAT friends that I made along the way...
It didn't seem right to leave it there...
...But I had no other option...
It was a VERY emotional moment for me...
Once I got the "dust wiped out of my eyes"; I went back up front, and arranged to pick it up in two weeks.
And that's my story...

Hey Bob, all kidding aside for a moment , I am very happy that you got to finally see your baby! :thumbup:

I know now it will be hard waiting for it to be sitting at home, but just think (dream) of all the good times you will soon have w it!

Thanks for letting us live through it w you! :thumbup:




Now back back to the cuttin' up.....

As as far as the "dust" I would have to say I understand.

When I purchased my Shelby...I drove around the back of the dealership and saw it sitting there...I stopped....and looked....I literally had tears (dust) in my eyes. I thought I was there for a couple minutes, but the prep guy told me I sat there in my vehicle staring at it for 20 minutes. Lol


Maybe it was the shock of buying a $65,000 vehicle :roflblack: After only being able to buy $30,000 vehicles, but I think it was partly the 9 month wait.

Just saying I can imagine how you felt seeing it for the first time, cherish that moment. :thumbup:

apparently your camera had tears in its eyes too

 

[Bob Denman]

Those were the only two photos of the new bike that I could salvage...
I lost all of the ones that I took of Fawkes... :shocked: :gaah:
The batteries were dying, and it slowed the camera down to a crawl... I "pooched" the shots by not holding things still, for long enough... pps:

What do you mean by "pooched"?

As a dog I'm offended by your racist remark! :gaah:



Lol

[Bob Denman]

I thought that Lamont might get ugly with me, If I said "effed-up"... pps:
Oh... go outside and take a leak on a hydrant!

 

[SNOOPY]

Okay

 

[Bob Denman]

Don't get too close to the hydrant; it's about like sticking your tongue up to a flagpole in the Winter! :yikes:

 

[SNOOPY]

:yikes:

 

[Bob Denman]

You're darn right!!
:lecturef_smilie: And there are VERY few owners, that would want to be seen helping you out of such an "awkward" situation... pps:
