Mel Posted January 23, 2010 #1 Posted January 23, 2010 Boy, am I lucky!!! No surgery, not buried by snow, AND tomorrow I'm going to pick up my new used 2007 RSV. Boy, am I lucky!!! Rode a 1984 VR until 2004, have been on a VSTAR 650 since then. I can hardly wait to get those 4 cylinders going under me again. Boy, am I lucky!!! Lots of things different on the RSV, but also lots of the same with the power, smoothness and the feeling of wanting to ride from sunup to sunset. Boy am I lucky!!! Temp. here in Indy is supposed to be around 50 degrees F tomorrow PM. Boy, am I lucky!!!

mm482 Posted January 23, 2010 #4 Posted January 23, 2010 I love good news and I am sure you will love you new bike. Earl:thumbsup:
rosebud Posted January 23, 2010 #5 Posted January 23, 2010 Now who's a happy chappy I love that quote - Annie can I borrow it? Mel, congrats on the bike, your health, and the good weather!
friesman Posted January 23, 2010 #6 Posted January 23, 2010 I am hoping that the weather holds for you. You shouldnt delay picking it up as there is a huge Colorado low pushing lots of snow and rain and cold weather here and its headed southeast from me. THey have almost closed down hiways and travel is highly discouraged. They are predicting 10 inches by tomorrow, so I am really hoping it holds off for you until you get your bike home. Brian
Aussie Annie Posted January 23, 2010 #7 Posted January 23, 2010 I love that quote - Annie can I borrow it? Mel, congrats on the bike, your health, and the good weather! Whenever it takes your fancy nancy (sorry)
Zfrebird4 Posted January 23, 2010 #8 Posted January 23, 2010 :clap2::clap2:We all wish you well, and congrats on the health visit. Here on the Eastern Slopes of CO Rockies it looks as if the Rockies will hold this one off from us with only a sprinkle, if at all. So it is heading S, S-E. Get the bike while you can, ... and then post us some Pix of it in the drive way with you shoveling snow. LOL. :happy65::happy65::clap2:

bongobobny Posted March 9, 2014 #13 Posted March 9, 2014 Uhhh, guys, this thread is from 2010, four years old...

Evan Posted March 10, 2014 #16 Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks to Bongobob, we now know this thread is four years old. However, I still like the sentiment "On a Happier Note", and I will add a "Happy Note" experience that happened to me today. Finally the forecast is for a few days above freezing around here. So, I went down to my storage locker to get my battery charger to charge up the battery on each of my 1st gens. They have been parked all winter in underground parking where it isn't heated, but never freezes. While I own at least 5 chargers, not one was to be found in my locker (they all must be at my shop at my cottage). Instead, I found the key fob to my van that I lost last fall and was just about to replace at a cost of almost $300. It was in some storage bins where I keep some motorcycle stuff. Decided to see if I could fire up the bikes anyway. To my pleasant surprise, there was some juice left in the batteries and both bikes fired up right away. They sure sounded good together in the underground parking garage. So, if the weatherman if right with his temperature forecast (high 30's) but wrong with his morning snow flurry forecast, I will enjoy my first ride of the season tomorrow.
cowpuc Posted March 10, 2014 #17 Posted March 10, 2014 Uhhh, guys, this thread is from 2010, four years old... Bongo,, You ever watch "Money Pit" starring Tom Hanks?? Remember when the bathtub fell thru the floor and he started laughing?? That is exactly how I felt when I read your post here and realized I had been had again,,,,,, for about the umpteenth time this winter:rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf: Freekin cabin fever is getting me BIG TIME:backinmyday:
bongobobny Posted March 10, 2014 #18 Posted March 10, 2014 Evan, follow the clues!! Look in the van for a charger, or another "Lost" item... Puc, yes I do remember that movie moment very vividly, sometimes the story of my life... OK stay tuned for a happier note! (I vote for A 440)
