Default Bye Bye Evo.

It's been fun. We had good times and bad times. That I will never forget. But. When I have 4 girlfriends . One has to go. It was a tough choice. Since you was the most high maintenance girl. We had to part company. Your new owner gets one sweet girl that has all of her problems resolved. Give him as much pleasure as you gave me.

The horror.

I've got 4 myself. The EVO will be the last to go. Probably right after they chunk me in the clay.

I have the '93 and I'm ashamed to say I've considered selling it. But technically it the wife's ride now. She doesn't ride it much so I'll take it out once in a while and admonish myself for ever thinking about getting rid of it. It's so much fun to ride! I had 3 bikes at one time but you can only ride one at time right? Although I do have a friend that has one for every day of the week. I suppose if I had the money and space I'd collect more. Right now my plan is to take my '04 Heritage to the grave with me. I do like EVOs though.

I am "OLD". 96 refers to my 2007 Ultra which is 96 cubic inches. My life long best friend passed away Feb 4. Same age as me. Gets ya to thinking about your own mortality. I need to get rid of some material things so my family is not burdened with them. I would rather them have the money in the bank than trying to have to deal with selling stuff. My Evo is just the start. Some times changes are needed in life.

Thanks for the explanation. And sorry for your loss. I too lost my best friend. And yes, life is too short.
