Might need a new site handle after this ...
« on: May 19, 2012, 11:23:31 AM »

 
Today the SEEG went on its last ride.  It returned back to the dealer where I bought her new.  It's a bittersweet day in some respects.  The SEEG was a great bike for 39,000 miles, many of those spent with the great folks from this site at various get-togethers and even cross-country trips.  But, I felt the time had come to do something different.  

Something different is a brand new SEUC in orange and black!  I'm real excited about picking it up in a week or two and look forward to doing a few mods, just gonna try not to get as carried away as with the SEEG!  More pics from the better camera when I get home!

never thought you'd part ways with the SEEG. did the break down influence you or was that the SEEG's way of saying good bye due to the new purchase?

All I can say is "wow"!  Well good for you.  But I can't believe that you are letting the Seeg go. After the recent upgrades too.  I can tell you first hand it's hard to resist all those new "upgrades" that come on the new bike.   Congrats and enjoy your new ride.  I'm really happy for you.   :2vrolijk_21:

It's hard to tell what happened first. :nixweiss:  But somewhere on that trip I made up my mind I was gonna let it go.  Things break and need to be fixed and I understand that, but that didn't really help matters.  Cruise was acting fussy after I got back on the road and the GPS gave me a weird error message when it booted up once, too.  I looked at the SEUC 3 or 4 weeks before leaving for RibFest.  When it was still there when I got back and with all the sudden issues with the bike, I took it as a sign the new bike was meant to be.

Thanks for all the congrats! :beerchug:

Brian, First, congratulations on the new bike!!  I know how attached you were to the SEEG, and rightfully so...there is no prettier bike than the B/B SEEG...but I don't think you will regret this for a minute once you get the bike.  Despite the potential issues with the 110" motor, it is a strong motor with regards to performance.  As much as I loved my '06, in some ways I'm glad things happened the way they did and I've got the '11 SERGU.  The extra "do dads", new frame, better tires, comfortable seat and other creature comforts make the new bikes a lot more enjoyable to ride, for me.  Make a few mods that you know will have to be made, and never look back.

Enjoy, my friend!  :2vrolijk_21:

I think you're right, Terry.  It took me a long, long time to warm up to these new ones, but I'm there now.  There will never, ever be a prettier bike than the B/B SEEG, IMO, but I hear what you're saying about the new ones being a more enjoyable ride.

I'll tell you what, it's a damn lot taller than the SEEG, though!  Feels like a heckuva lot more than an inch, too!  But the extra ground clearance in the curves will be welcome!
