RE: ROT
I was going to leave Thursday but have decided to leave Wednesday. I have never been to ROT and have not been to Austin in 15 years so I am getting there early just to look around.

RE: ROT
My last ROT rally was also the last straw with my old Sportster. My gf and I were at the staging area for the big parade down to 6th Street. My bike was'nt running too good at the time but I could'nt miss this, ya know? Well, came time to start em up and guess who's would'nt? Well sir, about an hour later we were still there, completely alone in the middle of a 7 acre field that until an hour ago was FILLED with Harleys. Man I tell ya, closest i've come to crying out loud since my Grandad died. We waited for another 1/2 hour or so before she decided to start again. I drove her straight home, and sold her a week later. Nobody could figger out that Sporty's problem! Temporary I thought, I had been 'between' bikes a couple times in the 25 previous years. Never lasted more than a couple months. This time, however lasted 5 years!! Got married, bought a brand new cage, stepkids, laid off from Motorola, etc........... For the past 5 years I would shut myself in my house on ROT weekend, close all the windows so I wouldnt hear the Harley music, and would not even turn on the TV or open a newspaper for fear of seeing the coverage. I am totally serious.
O.K. Now for the GOOD part! Car paid off, new job going good, wife WANTS me to get a bike! So I am in Phoenix on a contract for a couple of months and my brother whom I'm staying with, decides to get a Harley after totaling out his Rebel he has had for 4 years. He decides to work out financing for both of us. SO, dear readers, to make a long story just a bit longer. I am picking up my new Street Bob just in time to break her in and be back in Austin for ROT 06!!! Come up and say hi! Can't miss me, I will be the one with the smile that will have to be surgically removed from my face.
