Last Ride...new owner

[Miles]

Today I took my '06 RSMTD for its' last ride, under my ownership, and delivered it to the new owner (some chap from B.C. that resides on this forum). I rode it 215 miles up to Sumas, WA., and met with the new owner, wherein he promptly stashed it inside a trailer, to haul across the border tomorrow morning, and deal with all the paperwork mess.

 

A look at the last time it sat in my driveway this morning:

And then stashed inside his trailer for a ride across the Canadian Border:

Of course, the bike ran perfect today, (other than the fact that it has been sitting inside my shop for the past month, and NOT attached to a Battery Tender, so the battery was low), and I did feel a sense of remorse in selling it, after all the work I put into it. I believe the new owner will enjoy this bike.

How was the weather for the ride up Miles? When I left Seattle yesterday it was looking pretty dark that way, I never saw any rain but it looked like it was coming down the east side of the Sound, I took ferry to Bainbridge Island then up to Port Angeles and was dry all the way.

I bet he was excited! Hope to see him sometime this summer.

How was the weather for the ride up Miles?

 

 

Kevin, of the 215 miles today, it rained for about 150 miles. With every raindrop I thought of Rick (SilvrT) whining about how he would melt in the rain if he had to ride down from B.C. to the Meet & Eat that "was" scheduled for yesterday:rotf:

 

Despite the rain, it was an excellent ride.

And all the while I was at the swap meet yesterday, and then a nice ride down to White Rock, under a beautiful blue sky I remembered Miles's promise that it would be a warm, sunny weekend ... and he delivered, at least for 3/4 of a day here yesterday!

 

Thanks Miles for "opening the skies" for me and Nina to attend that swap meet instead of riding all the way to your area and getting soaked.

So, did he have dinner with Miles? Oh wrong thread sorry...

Apparently it was a shower...

Those showers sounding a bit like tears.

 

Good looking bike, got one just like it.

I mostly use my 06 Midnight TD for commute and my RSV for travel.

But this weekend, going solo, took the TD to a bike thing a couple hundred miles.

Forgot how much fun it is. RSV is a great smooth ride, RSTD is fun.

 

He got a good bike. I would have bugged my friends to buy it if you weren't so far away.
