Well. somebody told me here in the Forum, that the smile of the New Bike Day is the best smile of the Year.
Myself went to the cargo warehouse to pick it up. Assembled. Filled with Gasoline. And started for the 1st time.
That was a very nice day, after late at night. And enjoy my bike on the weekends.
Well mine needs a Lil backstory but first day was feb 19th 2022 the same day as the snow in NJ where I picked it up and riding down to Virginia with HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY winds making me cringe as I went over bridges with wind pushing me near sideways. Ended up stopping at a hotel and using my emergency pair of clothes I brought in case to warm up as I was in pain from the cold and getting home the next day, exhausted and ready for a nap lol.
On 8/27/2022 I sold my 2022 KLR650 for a 2021 Twin I have been watching for a long time and just couldn't stand to wait any longer. Even my wife was happy. She took a photo of me with my "side chick" after my first short 32 mile post purchase ride. Fortunately they are both very understanding and tolerant of each other.
I drove 200+ miles from Vegas to Arizona to pick this bike up and trailer it home. Didn't have a chance for about a month to ride while I waited for my DMV appointment. But once she was street legal we hit the trails right away!
Got my Africa twin at the end of May. As of tonight it’s now at 9880 miles from the 15 miles that was on it when I picked it up from the shop. It’s on its second set of tires. Waiting for the upper crash bars to get in. What can I say the green milk crate has made it over 7,000 miles and it’s kind of grown on me.
ouch that's bad, I think under the circumstances the forum Admin can maybe somehow award you a September 2022 Ride of the Month (Gone wrong) runner up consolation award ?
P.S. Happy belated B-day buddy, heal soon
P.P.S. if Admin will agree, I would like you to have all "my votes" I got in this contest
