GMAN, I hope you get yourself your dream bike, too!
I had to encourage myself somewhat with the notion, to even consider looking.
I first saw the for sale ad about a month ago, but still needed to convince myself, to make it happen.
For awhile I was hoping it would sell, so I wouldn't have to start getting serious.
The bike kept sneaking into my into my thoughts and dreams, and soon one thing led to another.
I'm very glad I did allow myself this, even if I only do some local rides now and then, it will be exciting.
In Michigan, we can only ride 6 months out of the year. It's still too cold up here, with some snow/ice yet along the roads in shady areas.
It's going to snow 2"-4" tonight, and we will see some more snow yet before the month of April is over.
The worse thing for motorcycles in the Spring up here, is all the sand and gravel on the roads from the winter.
It will be May before the roads get cleaned up and it's at least in the 50's. We still see below freezing temperatures at night through April.
That is the hardest part of owning a motorcycle in Michigan, is all the waiting. Some people put their motorcycles in their living room for the winter.
Too cold in the garage for it, you know.
