Default Well guys.. Its been real!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to stop in and say some farewells.. for now.

After owning my 06' street bob for 4 1/2 years, riding it everyday as my only transportation and 38,000 miles later, I decided to trade it in. I recently bought a Jeep Cherokee, which I had for about 5 months. Since buying it, the street bob saw very little use since I didn't HAVE to ride it anymore. It started sitting more and more, collected more rust and little use. I decided paying the money for it monthly for it to not get ridden didn't make sense. So, for now, I decided to trade it in, along with the Cherokee.

What did I trade it in for you ask? A 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I figured if I was going to get a cage, I may as well get something as close to a Harley as possible for a cage. So, that is what I decided. I am incredibly happy with my decision, but also feel a bit sad at the same time. Its been a GREAT ride, and I don't suspect I'll be long without another motorcycle, but for now, this is a short term farewell.

Thanks for all the incredible help and advice that you have all provided. Hopefully I'll see you guys soon again.

Cheers,
Adrian

Here's a picture of the new ride.

Good, maybe somebody that wants to ride can have it. You didn't deserve it.

Nothing wrong with that, sometimes it's what's right at the moment.

Hey sometimes you have to make tough choices, based upon changing priorities, so hope to see you back riding when the time is right. (Had 3 X CJs years ago, lots of mud, broken parts and fun)

Cheers,
Scott
