Hey Sam - did you make your reservation yet for MV? This year I want to follow you through the turns 

[CBW]

Sam,
Hope that it's all GOOD news.

Well, I finally have come to a place where I can see that I'm not going to get stronger anytime soon. I'm OK with that and find comfort that where I am is of no fault of my own and it is completely out of my hands. So, here I am. lol
It's in the works to put the sidecar that was on my HS onto my Ultra, but am thinking of possibly mothballing that plan now or not, that I have opened a new door that will allow me to get and keep my face in the wind for long distance rides without the worry of brakedowns. I am weaker than I like to admit and my Ultra without the sidecar on road trips the way I like to ride is just to much for me and I don't like falling down right where people can see me and all. lol
So, I just bought and will pick up on Saturday a 2012 Tri-Glide. I'm pretty excited and am looking forward to the ride. I know it will be different from the two wheel riding that I love, and it will be different from the sidecar that is also more fun than can be explained, but I know I will feel right at home on another Harley, this will be my sixth Harley. The list of of Harley's is as follows, 1972 XLCH Sportster, 1985 FLT ElectraGlide, 1990 FLHS Electrglide Sport, 1997 FLSTS Heritage Springer, 2003 Ultra Classic and now the 2012 Trike. I really do feel as though I have been blessed to have been the owner of so many fine machines through the years. Best part of owning has been the riding and meeting fine folks such as You.
thank you for making my riding experience even better than so many rider miss out on.
Your friend and riding buddy

Sam, CONGRATULATIONS on the new ride, I think it's a very wise move and you won't miss out on the open roads.
 Most of us will make that move eventually, I'm sure you will get use to it in no time.

Excited and happy for you and Sue to get out and have some fun!

Congratulations Chappy!  Fantastic that you're going to get some riding in this season!   

[MIKEYTEE]

Sam,
So glad to hear you and Sue will be riding in comfort this year. Congratulations on the new trike. You have made the step that some others including myself are exploring. Don't want to give up riding when the bike becomes too heavy to safely handle. Advanced age and worn out body, ya know. I'm really only 25 but trapped in an old mans body. Susie and I look forward to seeing you and Sue this riding season. Love and prayers to you both.
God Bless my friend,
Mike
 

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the new ride.

Sam, We have never met but do to an unfortunate mc/car accident last year, I am also battling my own health demons.  I have a 2012 SESG sitting out in my garage that I have owned since August with 300 miles on it.  I pray that my leg will heal and I can ride again this summer.  I have had days, weeks and months where I don't see me ever getting to ride again.  I have lately been feeling sorry for myself and frankly just giving up, but when I read your thread about your medical condition and all your battles I realized how fortunate I am.  You have inspired me to fight back and if I can't get back on my scooter......well, there are other options like trading for a tri-glide.  Congrats on your new ride and thank you again for inspiring me.  God bless you and one day I hope we meet on the road riding our scoots with a big smile on our face.

Can't wait to ride with ya again this year Sam. Why don't you lead us out!

Howdy Folks,
I called my daughter tonight and told her about the trike. I told her I also bought the 5 extra year wannanty with tire and wheel coverage that starts when the two year factory wannanty runs out. and added that equals seven years of coverage and that's a binding Contract, so, I have to be around for at least the next 7 years. We both got a kick out of that.

Just think you will have to buy another after 7 years to keep a bike under warrranty. Good luck and God bless.

Hello Family and Friends,
What a surprise, I don't know how my wife kept it from me.
I had the pleasure and honor of getting a surprise visit from Bob Ladd today. For those that haven't had the pleasure of meeting and befriending Bob, he's the humble owner of Shenodoah HD in Virginia. Well, former owner, he just sold the dealership a short while back. It was truly a surprise and a great visit.
Thanks Bob
Sam aka chappy

[Fired00d]

Chappy glad to hear Bob stopped by to see you... He's a good guy but we not going to let him know that though... that'll be our secret. Wish my scheduled would have allowed me to make the trip with him.

 
Ride Safe,
Fired00d
