Why would someone do something like that ?
Last April, I bought tix for Laguna AMA and WSB races for myself and my son. I was very ill at the time. I said I was determined to get better in time to go to those races. After a long trying summer I was getting close being fit enough. I started riding every day to build up endurance. Not riding and chair sitting can take its toll. Time growing short but ability getting better, and suddenly shoulder pain!
I decided that it would be easier to ride a cruizer the 250 miles, than the 14. I was reading about Indians, exciting, looked them up on the net... price not exciting, this bike, about 900lbs., IS too big for me! So, what else is there... Oh look... a Harley. Lame bidding... I only rode one a long time ago. Wow, I could get that cheap...
So I bid it and won it. (I have a method and [u]never[u] loose a bid if I want it.)
Arranging shipping is another story. It arrived a week before the races. It woln't take long to learn this bike.
Just like the bike I rode in 1965.
This bike is BEAUTIFUL!! It's a 2005 Dyna Low Rider. All steel, no plasticat all, pearl blue paint, and lots of chrome with Gold overlays. Less than 4K miles and spotless. Like brand new! I paid about 1/3 of book.
Saying to myself ... This ain't so bad. I hopped on twisted my wrist, released the clutch and with a mighty roar the big blue potatoe crept foreward. Shortly it was going fast enough to pick my feet up. Seems to pick up a little here at 4K and... oh crap... redline at 5K. Shift... twist... I kept looking down to see if half the motor had fallen off. Damn... it didn't...
Sure is pretty. And solid, like my old 55 Ford, not as fast though.
