End of an Era

Well for the first time in a long time I am now bikeless. This past Saturday I assisted my friend by riding his 2007 Midnight Venture to a bike shop to get sold. That was the least I could do since I have been riding his bike for the last ten years as if it were mine own. He had bought the bike new and became too scarred to ride it after the first 500 miles on the odometer. I put the rest of the 19,000 miles on it. I can't complain we had a good ride together. There were two different trips to Don's maintenance day on it and many other adventures.

 

I don't have any immediate plans to get another one. But, it is winter and I just don't know how I'll feel come next spring.

Nice to have friends like that, now find one with a Spyder.

Man! He went an sold it right out from under you like that! No warning and didn't get you a replacement yet? What kind of friend is that! One of the best I'd say! Every year brings a new ad-Venture. If you think you feel up to it tell him a spyder is easier to ride like Marcarl says and he might get the itch again. If you pool your moola you should be able to buy the top of the line.

No he warned me and I have even been trying to help him sale it. Had it it advertised on this site but he didn't want to list it for less than $7500 . I told him that was too much. He finally listed it for $5500 with the bike shop. He is a good friend to let me ride it for him but I did take care of and paid for the maintenance, tag and insurance. I'm not complaining. It was a great ride while it lasted.

Last Vogel we drove up and someone was gracious enough to let us ride in thier convertible with them and I hate to say I enjoyed it almost as much as riding.
