Check it out........ was feeling better for the first time.... got up.. went out and checked out the Nomad..... flat back tire... you know about the saddle bag.... crash bars a little tweeked.. mirror snapped off form the master cylinder unit.... but it stated fine!!

I could hardy hold it up.... hurt the ribs....

Got on Judi's bike VN900 LT.... started.... would only shift into neutral and first..... and smoked like hell....

I said "I'm riding today no matter what!"

Uncovered the '82 V-45 Sabre.... wouldn't start.... threw charger on it...... 1 hour .... sweating.... no go........ now I'm p*ssed!

Called my friend who wanted to go riding........

Drove me over to local dealer....... I said gimme something cheap so I can ride today.... He showed me a 2002 Shadow Spirit 750 6K mi.. got it 3K OTD.... on only credit card I have left lol......... rode 75 miles today... ribs sore but feel better!......

At least now I can ride something tll the Nomad is healed!

Ya know... I made a quick stop at the Kawi dealer before going to Motoworld... I could have picked up same year Vulcan 500.......
for $2500 !

I almost did... 'cause I'm a Kawi guy now... but in all honesty.. that Shadow 750 is a lot more bike......

Grasshopper, only the ripples from the stone you have thrown can tell you if you are right..

Your heart of hearts should know that answer (but hey, you're back in the seat and on the road again -- that is what truly counts!
