This may sound strange.
Sept 29 2007 me and Bambi had a run in.
The bike is still at the shop.
After riding every day, well, ok, -4 days, over 2 years, this bike is now just a memory. Nothing less, nothing more.
Funny how the mind can let even the most precious values in life 'go'. Just disappear.
In Crzy8's absence, I've been trailering my Ultra Classic 1991 HD, 140k on the clock, to the pavement every day. A pain in the ass for sure.. Adds another 40 minutes to my daily trek. And I ride damn near every day.
But, I've fallen back in love with my Harley. Agreed, she's not fastest or agile girl in my stable. But, like the steady old friend, she is always up to the ride.
So rumor has it that Crzy8 will be 'whole' again this Monday. Or so sayeth the service manager. I don't, after all this time, believe a word of anything anymore. It's been too long.
I hope that after all this, getting Crzy8 back, that I'm as enamored and in love with her as when I first had the pleasure of setting my hands on her bars and going for the first ride. About 2 years and 41k miles later, 2 ss1k runs, and lots of fun chasing down and passing sport bikes, I hope the magic is still there.
Somehow, O'vales death, and just being without the FJR has, wierdly, affected me. At this moment in time, typing to the world to see, I somehow hope the magic of street riding strikes me again. Otherwise, I'll sell all and go back to my roots of dirt bikes.
Wierd post, huh?
