I'm in love all over again.

It's a 2008 model, Yamaha Roadstar "S" which means chromed out, with windshield, saddle bags, and I have a rider backrest coming next week. I need to get crash bars badly, next pay check. The beautiful thing is, it's been in the showroom since 2008 and they were very eager to move it. It's about a $16,000 bike without accessories, but I got it for way, way less. They were motivated. And I went to the credit union and cut the interest rate in half from the dealer. Sandee H is going to come help me bring it home in about an hour.

I've had a number of calls on my other bike to buy it, and I may be meeting a guy at work tonight with cash in hand. We'll see. One guy got mad at me because I would not let him just ride off on a test ride without having the cash in my hand first. He wanted me to trust him. Sure. I just LOOK stupid.

WOW! Nice looking bike! Where you going on your first road trip together--you and your love (and maybe Cindy?)

Cindy can come, too, if she wants. I still need crash bars and a helmet for her. But I now have the coolness and the suavity.

Cindy said...

HEY You gave birth and I wasn't even there to enjoy it!!! Love your new Baby!! see you tomorrow

Boppa Poopy said...

Yeah, but THIS birth didn't hurt or make me puke or yell at you on the delivery table: "YOU DID THIS TO ME GET AWAY FROM YOU %&*#@!"

I don't know, Trudy. cindy has to get a helmet and we need a back rest for her and crash bars. It's another several hundred dollars down the road. I need crash bars first. These keep the bike from falling on my legs if it goes down. But don't tell Cindy about it going down. It's our secret, ok?
