Default Metamorphosis complete
Well it finally happened. A month ago I ran across a guy looking to trade a Harley for a tractor. I traded him my 1995 65 hp tractor for his 1998 Dyna Wide Glide and some cash. My buddies told me not to make the trade. I figured the bike would be easier to sell and it would also be a good place to check out getting a bike. Last Tuesday I sold the bike and on Friday bought a 2005 Ultra Classic. A new dimension of life has unfolded. What a bike! What a blast! Looking forward to my first road trip. Will post a pic as soon as I can get to the office and resize the pictures.

Well good for you if you're happy with the deal but what kind of 65 hp tractor did you trade? A good tractor is worth a lot to the right person.
