My FZ6 just left the driveway with someone other than me on it.

Strange feeling, and a lil tear.

Lots of memories with that bike, and what it taught me? OMG....

Bye Sparky, be good!

The best way to end a relationship is to start a new one.

Probably 2 Bros exhaust in my future too

And yes, Sparky has a great new life!

I'm sentimental about all sorts of things, stuff like that included for sure, Barb. I'll really feel it when the Blackbird goes next spring. Not because I ride much anymore (hardly at all), but because of the memories associated with it (people and times). I'll wallow in that for a day, shed a tear, and then resolve to move on (which sometimes feels too much like . . . just getting older).

MC sale remorse mojo heading your way if it helps.

I bet you can't make it as loud as the Harley or as slow.

Funny my old Dodge pulled outa the drive yesterday the same way.... didn't really think about it till I seen this earlier.

Memories... sleeping half the night in her in sub zero temps because I lost the keys while changing a flat..Hauling 4 yards of wet heavy dirt overloading the old girl to the max.

Making love to my first sheep in the bed...........

Ah the memories

Barb--are you JOKING? Paint the Harley Galaxy Blue, for Gawd's sake.

But I had a hell of a lump in my throat driving away from the Yamaha dealer in Helena MT in a rented car before NAFO I in Golden, watching my forlorn-looking and badly dinged up first '05 Feejer getting smaller and smaller in the rear-view mirror.

am i nutz, or does it feel this icky to sell your first motorcycle?

Ya, Your just nutz. :blink:

I didn't mind getting losing the 800 I had- only had it a year and it really wasn't what I was looking for but the price was unbeatable at the time and I didn't mod it at all. The 1500 I moved up to OTOH had a lot of sentimental value in terms of travels, folks, mods, etc. I still miss that bike sometimes and it's been 4.5+ yrs. So I say yeah, depending on your experiences with an inanimate object sometimes it does feel icky when someone else rides away on it.

Yeah it is gorgeous and you ought to see it in person. It is very very clean. I have an 09 and my looks dirtier after I wash it.

"am i nutz, or does it feel this icky to sell your first motorcycle?"

They are just machines, lifeless, with no soul... it is impossible to have any emotional attachment to a mere machine...

Yeah right.... <_<

Look at it this way: ol' Sparky will be ridden more (hopefully) and now you have space in the garage for something else :yahoo:

I have waffled between having that sentimental attachment, and then seeing her sit, unused in the garage. That feeling won out in the end, the bike really DOES deserve to be ridden more than I was riding it.

I will miss her, but the memories remain, until that old age thing robs me...

Hopefully thats a ways down the road of life for me
