Default Major Score

I was looking at a new RKC with ABS and all that nice touring stuff. After going round and round with the stealer I couldn't get them to come clean with a decent deal so I looked around and found a 2005 with 5400 miles on it so I bought it. The good thing is the Sportster stays, 2 for 1 deal, can't believe that I pulled it off. Got a great deal on a nice bike.

The sporty gets the Sundowner taken off, sissy bar off, Weenie shield off etc etc. Thinking custom paint and a solo seat. Next year engine work.

I've always been a one bike man...

Though my mind wonders sometimes and imagine what it would be like to have two at one time....

But I'm getting older and probably couldn't keep up anyway...

I bought a new RKC in 2000 and kept my Sporty. It's a chore just making myself ride the Sporty.

I was serious when I said it was a chore. I just checked my records and saw that in the past 8 years, I have only ridden it 2900 miles. They wouldn't have been that high if I hadn't taken it to Daytona in 2002 and rode it around for the week. The 8 years before, though, I had ridden it on average of 5k miles a year.

I'm gonna have to farm out somebody to run a vehicle or two. I have a '90 Mustang 5.0 that I bought new. It's only got 40k miles on it. I basically quit driving it in about 1994. I changed the oil in it a couple of months ago. I had only driven it 280 miles since the last oil change......3 years and 8 months prior. It just sits covered up in the garage.
