Berthas gone

[Tommy]

A week ago last Saturday I sold Bertha to a collector in our area. Bertha is number 5 in his 'gen'. 1 Venture Royale collection. I have visitation rights. I had just pulled up to my ususal parking space at my home dealershihp. A gentleman walked up to me and asked if I would sell my bike. I told him that I was still having a minor carb. adjustment problems and I thought the bike was running pretty well but needed a little more work with the pilot screws.Muffinman, I was able to clear the running rich problem on carb. number 2. Any way I shot the guy a price...What I paid for Bertha 3 years ago. He said "I'll take it". I had sold my 98 V-max in December of 2006 and sold my 05 FZ1 in June of this year (to buy a car,..ugh). I have now replaced Bertha with 'Angelena' my new 2008 FZ1. I went back to my performance roots. I had a ball traveling on the Gen 1., better than any large bike I had ever owned. That includes my Goldwing, and Harley baggers. I know I'll miss all of her creature comforts. I would still like to hang around here from time to time, just to keep up with the 'goings on'...Jeff, I want to thank you for you efforts, and hope you and Mini are well.....I'm still here, if you guys need me......Tommy

Tom,

You know we dont care what you ride, besides if you left we'd have to come and hunt you down like a rabid dog....and that wouldn't be pretty

Have fun on that new ride and we'll see you at one of the M&E's
