three happy years together

cactusjack · 04-01-2014, 11:58 AM

Three years ago today I took delivery of my Harley. She had only 7 miles on her. Now she has 26,000.

davidhollinger · 04-01-2014, 12:10 PM

Here's to another 25000, but you will probably upgrade before then!

blowndodge · 04-01-2014, 12:15 PM

Good job Scott! (did I actually say that?

) 26K divided by 3 is 8666 miles per year. I turned 14K after 1 year. I guess that about ends the "BD don't ride" comments!!

Keep the rubber side down good buddy and see ya in Orofino!

cactusjack · 04-01-2014, 12:33 PM

I don't go on as many rides as I did in the past because I got tired of going to the same places over and over again.

**GIBBY** · 04-01-2014, 01:08 PM

Congratulations Scott. Did you really take delivery of a new motorcycle on April 1st ?
That is longer than my first marriage lasted, but she had MANY more miles on her with a lot of different riders while I was away on the Korean DMZ for 2 years.

cactusjack · 04-01-2014, 01:12 PM

Yeah, it just worked out that way. I wrecked my Nomad on March 15 and it took 2 weeks to settle the claim. I had April 1 off for AZ Bike Week, so I went and picked up my new bike.

Well done! Hoping you get to enjoy it as much the next 3 years.

**cnc** · 04-01-2014, 02:16 PM

Wonder if the bike feels the same way Scott.

Well done glade you are happy.

radco · 04-01-2014, 02:32 PM

Congrats on the 3 year milestone.
I would like to add, riding the same places over and over still beats not riding at all.

Time flies-by fast... Geez... 3-years already.

Here's to another 30!
