    Default Strike while the irons hot.

    My wife and I was driving through Jackson Tn Tuesday and a friend called me and ask if i would puck up some parts from Bumpus Harley Davison dealer. Of course I said yes. I never need an excuse to to the harley shop but when ones present i acknowledged. While in there we looked around a little. (till she dragged me out by the ear) I got the parts and came home. Wednesday morning we were eating breakfast and she said and I quote Honey I think you need to get a new bike. I really think i was 2 miles down the road before my fork hit the plate. I traded my 06 heritage for a 16 Street Glide Special. Color is Velocity Red. looks close to a candy apple red. It was a used bike. It had 763 miles on it. No photos yet but there will be. It's going to take a little while for me to get use to the size and comfort of this heavenly vehicle.

    Once in a blue moon the wives come up with a brilliant idea like that...

    I guess miracles do exist! Never seen a miracle however. Someday would like to know what that feels like.

    I am quite certain my wife will never say that to me. In fact I tend to get the exact opposite, she has mentioned that I should sell my bike a few times.

    To be Honest what ever she wants. We're older now and retired and she know what we can afford and what we can't. I've never seen a brinks truck following a hearse.
