Default Had to let it go

Yes, I sold my bike last week. Uncle Sam has decided to throw a monkey wrench into my financial picture and, with a baby on the way, I had to re-align my priorities. Hopefully I'll get this straightened out and be on a new one in time to ride up and catch the fall colors in NC later this year. To add insult to injury, the weather has been perfect every day since I sold it!

Sad day, but you got to have your priorities. It sounds like yours are focused on your family and that is good.

I feel you pain, May will be 1 year for me since I sold the bike. Hang in there, the baby will be loads of fun. Also planning for a new bike and what will be done to it is also fun.

You can always rent one for a day to keep the tremors at bay.

Family first, but you already know that. You'll bounce back in no time.

Sorry Man but the bright side is a growing family and you can always look forward to another bike.... Can't always get what we want but sometimes we get what we need.
