Angry Starting over in WA

Ok second post...

I had a kid 10 years ago and after further review I had to ditch the B****. When my girl was 2 I sold everything I owned to pay my lawyer( toys, tools, truck, car, bike, guns, furniture, collectables, the boat, all my fishing gear, the chainsaw, the lawn mower, my leathers and even the dam tv) I WON, I got the house and the kid..... Ive been working my **** off at a couple good jobs 80+ hrs a week for the past 8 years to rebuild my world. My kid was worth it all and Ive never second guessed my past comitment. Been rough as a single dad for 8 years but I got married last year and dam its been worth it. I am now in the position to pull the trigger on a new bike.

Ive been scouring Craigs list for weeks and have yet to find one that meets my **** standards so the other night my wife says " Just go buy a new one!"

I went and rode all of em and I want the Electra Glide Ultra Limited Big blue on vivid black/ quick release tour pack. Been saving for a while so now I just gotta go get it between work and sleep and rain later this week. Still trying to figure out pipes and suckers and why the hell am I buying leather and helmets when I have all this stuff... oh yea... sold it
