Default Gone ridin!

yup Ive gone riding. Spent so much time living in my room in my sisters home savin my money, then bought a house that seems Ive been working on since I got it and I'm tired. Tired of being around the house so much. Stir Crazeee....


I can only spend so many hours a day in the greenhouse and most of that is done in the middle of the night when you are all sleepin. Ive been sawing up wood and then nailing it back together for something to do
Well seems I got this bug in my head telling me it was time to get back on a harley and ride some. Shake it all out on the road. Pickin it up Saturday a new 2015 Soft tail 'Slim' and Ive gone riding.

Ill be back with some flowers when they decide to bloom in the mean time Vrooom Vrooom. Im going to set off a lot of car alarms to start with

Jealous as well!!! Though I'm more into the sport type bikes. I ride (aka sandbag) with my boyfriend a lot, and my plan is to get my motorcycle license next year. Won't be easy, it's even harder to get than the car license, and I have short people problems (I'm 5'1") to deal with!

I cannot afford a Harley, so I am buying HOG stock. When I get enough shares I am going to cash them in and buy me a soft tail.

heh buy HOG stock ...Ill own quite a few shares if this one ever sees a title...

Matt? I cant afford one either thats why Im taking the contract to the credit union and renegotiate the loan. Its stupid high interest and they 1st time buyered me. They do that after they tell you congrats then they hit you with a dog doo sno cone in your left eye.

Glad to see some motorcycling fans here. I think Im going to join the "Sons of Arthritis"..I hurt already. Was cold drivin home too. I forget to get my gloves and coat!!!

This is a Softail Slim. A Very low 23.8 inches off the ground. Its 'Midget Certified'. I sat on all of them and this is just about the only big bike that I could plant me feet, both of them on the ground. Very important not to struggle holding the bike steady whilst parked at a red light.

AND I tell you to these bikes are made for the O.C.D bunch, I want seat, pipes, led lights, etc etc etc.

I only put 80 miles on it today and I got tired. I forgot how much energy it takes to hang on to the handlebars going down the road at 70. I feel like I got stretched a little. Hope it clears up and Im back to 5'5"..

I have a whole new perspective driving in to work now. I want to ride right on by.......
