SOLD...
I've been dreading writing this on my build thread, but it has to be done.
After a year-long struggle with myself deliberating whether to sell my baby or not, I decided on the former. I only had it out a couple of times last summer, and just didn't have the urge to ride it, and I thought it's not doing anybody any good sitting in my garage. It deserves to be ridden; to be loved again. So earlier this week it went to a new home. I have urged the new owner to become a member here, so hopefully he can benefit from the give-and-take of this incredible forum. (And I can keep tabs on my(his) bike
)
I think it was all about the build for me; chasing that light at the end of the tunnel. You know how it goes when you get to that light....now you need something else to chase, and you take for granted what you've got. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has felt like this at the end of a build....
With all the countless hours spent grinding, welding, wrenching, painting and polishing, I feel like I gave a piece of my soul to that motorcycle, and in a way, it will be terribly missed; but like I said, it's meant to be ridden, and it does feel good to have someone else appreciate the thing that I put so much work into.
Thanks for reading my dramatic ventings,
and farewell to my baby......
