Change of mind..........
« on: September 25, 2004, 07:43:57 PM »
As you guys know, after my last accident in May I decided not to ride anymore and was going to sell my bike.  It was actually on the floor at Harley Davidson of Sacramento.

I've been getting urges to go ride and yesterday I drove up to Reno and Street Vibrations run.  By the time I had gotten there, I wanted to ride so bad that I could hardly stand it.  I met with the guys from this site at the CVO get together and had a great time.

By the time I got home at 2:30 this morning, I talked with my wife about it and she said "well, it's not too late....it's still down there".  As I was driving down to the dealership today to talk to them about it, I get a call from the sales manager.  She says "J.C. I have a guy here who is very interested in your bike and wants to know what is your bottom line?"  I said "it's already priced too low......so I'm on my way down there now to get it". lol   I called a friend and had him meet me down there to ride it home for me (I'm still on crutches).

My SEEG is now parked in my garage! [smiley=laugh.gif]

Congrats JC, good to hear the news.  Hopefully it's not too long before your back in the saddle again.

JC,
This is one of those choices without a right or wrong answer.  It's just right or wrong for you.  Even then it's what feels right or wrong at any given time.  I've been down too, a couple of times.  Not nearly so damaged as you were.  And don't even begin to comprehend what you went through.  So when I say congratulations it's that kind of good wish that goes along with whatever choice you end up being happiest with.  No right or wrong; just right for you.  So congratulations and happy riding, or boating, or sitting on the porch with the Misses drinking your beverages of choice.

Congrats on your decision JC. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  I rode for 5 years (age 14 to 19), had a bad experience [smiley=furious.gif], quit riding for 5 years [smiley=nixweiss.gif], got back into it for the next 38 years  [smiley=laugh.gif] and have never looked back.  Now the proud holder  [smiley=bigok.gif]of 43 years of happy motorcycling.  Keep the oiley side down and the shiney side up and happy motorcycling to you.  [smiley=beerchug.gif]

Gettinold, no doubt JC was referring to the weather hammering your area . . .
