Gary N. Posted March 8, 2008 #1 Posted March 8, 2008 I put a deposit down on a '06 Black Cherry. Blues Lover told me about it so I stopped at the shop in London last weekend on the way to the Kitchener M&E and was only able to see it through the front window because they were closed. After several e-mails back and forth this week, they saw the light and we came to an agreement on the phone this morning. Can you think of a better way to spend your time in the middle of a blizzard? Sure hope my old body will let me ride again. I guess we're going to find out. Just have to wait for the snow to melt enough to get my trailer out of the barn.
cecdoo Posted March 8, 2008 #3 Posted March 8, 2008 Good for you! Glad to hear you found a nice 06, I am going to look at one this afternoon. Take care, Craig
Guest BluesLover Posted March 8, 2008 #4 Posted March 8, 2008 I put a deposit down on a '06 Black Cherry. Hey Gary! Welcome to "the best colour community" of the VentureRiders!!! If I can help at this end, just let me know - I've got to run up there to see Gary about some tires at some point this week, so just drop me a line. Looking forward to riding with you again my friend! Cheers,
Marcarl Posted March 8, 2008 #5 Posted March 8, 2008 Well good for you olde buddy, glad to see that you're not staying with the past but are determined to move on, hey, the past will always be with you, and that can be good and bad, but the future is what you make of it. Looking forward to joining you on a ride already, don't know about this white stuff though, can't see a 'hole lot right now.
autopilot Posted March 8, 2008 #6 Posted March 8, 2008 ALL Right Gary!!!! Great to hear you'll be getting back in the saddle soon. Of course we'll be expecting all the requisite pictures. Good going. We'll be waitin
Squidley Posted March 8, 2008 #8 Posted March 8, 2008 Good to hear my friend, I would also like to offer my assistance in helping you spend money with adding chrome
Venturous Randy Posted March 8, 2008 #9 Posted March 8, 2008 Gary, this made my day. Thanks for posting it!!! RandyA
Gary N. Posted March 8, 2008 Author #10 Posted March 8, 2008 Good to hear my friend, I would also like to offer my assistance in helping you spend money with adding chrome Well, that's a given. You know that has to happen...LOL driving/passing lights, bag rails, tunk rack, front fender rail, etc. etc. etc.
Joopster55 Posted March 8, 2008 #11 Posted March 8, 2008 Gary, I'm happy for you. It's good to see that you are moving forward with your life. I'm looking forward to the day when we can go for a ride together. Take care, Jopie...
Yammer Dan Posted March 8, 2008 #12 Posted March 8, 2008 Helping spend Money? Sounds like FUN!! And great color to do it on.
royalstarjac Posted March 8, 2008 #13 Posted March 8, 2008 That's great to hear Gary! You're an inspiration!-Jack
lonestarmedic Posted March 8, 2008 #14 Posted March 8, 2008 Go for it! Add chrome! Ride it til the wheels fall off. Go visit places that you went before and enjoy the memories. Visit new places and meet new friends. I love the black cherry color, it reminds me of my old Gold Wing. Looks fantastic in the light. Oh, as the old body gets on just remember Lowell. He is my hero! What is he 68 or 69 and riding to Daytona and any other place he feels like. We are only as old as we let ourself be. Take care JB
Eugene Posted March 8, 2008 #15 Posted March 8, 2008 Good for you Gary - let's hope for an early spring!!!
Freebird Posted March 8, 2008 #16 Posted March 8, 2008 That's as good of news as I've heard in a long time. Very happy for you Gary. I know you would RATHER have '99 SILVER but hey...you got the second best color there is.
Orrin Posted March 8, 2008 #17 Posted March 8, 2008 Gary, great to hear from you. Ride the wheels off it!
Eck Posted March 8, 2008 #18 Posted March 8, 2008 That's really great to hear Gary. Outstanding courage to continue your dreams. Hope I can ride with you again some time soon.
Gene-b Posted March 8, 2008 #19 Posted March 8, 2008 Hey Gary, I got to meet you a week or so ago in VRChat. Good for you! Ride hard and enjoy that new bike. Gene
Guest Swifty Posted March 8, 2008 #20 Posted March 8, 2008 WOW, you made that decision almost as fast as a first gen rider. Way to go, Bud. Keep working out; I'll bet it'll feel heavy at first. Looking forward to seeing ya on the road.
JPM Posted March 8, 2008 #22 Posted March 8, 2008 Nice going Gary. I love that color. It will show off all the chrome real well. As stated above, keep the workouts going. I was in the hospital but one week and it took a year to get my strength back. Hope you are doing better. Hope to see you at lunch sometime. Joe
Guest JGorom Posted March 8, 2008 #23 Posted March 8, 2008 Congratulations Gary...I hope to see that new bike sometime this summer. Maybe I'll finally make Carl's BBQ this year. Best regards, James & Alice Gorom PS If I would have known you were lookin, I might have tried to sell you mine when I sat next to you at the Pioneer BBQ dinner the other week.
Guest ReinyRooster Posted March 8, 2008 #24 Posted March 8, 2008 Good to hear my friend, hoping we can get a ride in together this season.
Gary N. Posted March 8, 2008 Author #25 Posted March 8, 2008 As stated above, keep the workouts going. I was in the hospital but one week and it took a year to get my strength back. Hope you are doing better. Joe Wow Joe, at that rate it will take me 14 years to get all my strength back. Just about the time I'll be look'n for a 3 wheeler.
