Quite A Ride
Today was significant for me. Today I watched my pride and joy drive away on the back of a 63 year old man’s flatbed truck. I finally sold my Custom Chopper that I bought brand new back in 2005. I paid 32,000.00 for this Easter Egg of a bike and sold it for 15,000.00 4 years later. Quite a hit, but I had quite a ride.
I had alot of great memories on my chopper. I rode alone most of the time starting out, but would end up riding with a bunch by the middle of the day. I rode with different motorcycle clubs including the Booze-fighters and some others. Not as a member but as a “Free Rider”. This means you ride but you don’t belong to a club. I also attended Myrtle Beach Bike week for 4 years in a row.
But it was time to sell the bike. With 12,000 miles of memories, I think I got out cheap. I did crash the bike once and went down hard, fracturing my right arm and a cracked skull and some shattered teeth. I had to get 8 pins in my arm and a metal wrap. My brain showed 8 “bleeders”. I ended up getting 4 root canals. I also cracked my right eye socket.
But I have no regrets and will ride again. As a matter of fact I will be buying a new 2010 Harley Davidson Road King in October of 2009.
Good time had, and Good times till ahead !
Ride On!
