I know how you feel... You spend alot of time on these bikes both riding and caring for them. They become a part of the family and a part of your life if you ride alot. My bike is my constant companion and my primary transportation. Whereever you find me, you'll always find my bike parked just outside.

I know what you mean. Still miss my 00 RKC (trade in) and '67 Mustang convertible (totalled). Hopefully you've got some good digital pics to reminisce over. The new owner is going to love it, so there's some comfort in that.

When the new owner looked at my bike he was like a kid on Christmas morning. That made me feel good.

When the insurance co totaled my lowrider, I was crushed. Mainly becuase I wasn;t sure if I'd be getting a replacement but, lo and behold, the Heritage in my sig and now in my garage has eased the pain.
