CONGRATS!!!! You sound just a little excited. Try to hold down the enthusiasm a little bit girl. I'm happy for you. My DH won't even consider one. Poor me. Come on up my way, plenty of open roads to ride around on. *4U Mickey

Thank you. Hopefully all the snow we got this week-end will be gone by next Tues when it's ready for pick-up. I will surely have time for you ladies still. I will have to encourage work to give me a few hours however. Tmrw is my first day back since I went on as casual beginning of Feb. *4U ><>

I guess you are happy!!! Congratulations! I love riding too, but I only get to be a passenger. For now. We ride every chance we get. Went to the Smokeys last week, Key West early in March. Can't wait to get out on the road again! Watch the crazies, and maybe we'll see you on the road!

Thank you. No, unfortunately it won't fit, but I could always strap it to the back rest on the passenger seat. I couldn't ask for a better passenger eh? *4U ><>

Safe riding joanie! We had a small bike in our early days but everytime we decided to take a trip we got WET! Mother nature got us everytime. Eventually we got rid of it.

well girlfriend, you're right I am thrilled for you. If you want to take a ride south come on down and we'll get the 'sisterhood' together and head out to some cool spots and beautiful rides we've found. You're a better woman than me to be able to ride those mountains you have up there, down here everything is flat. Kinda like a 5th grade girl before implants! (hahahahahaha) Gee hope that doesn't offend anybody. Anyway keep the dirty side down and have a blast. I'm with you in spirit.

Alright, sounds gr8. Just need the fund$ for gas and all travel expence$. Oh, and the "OK" from DH. He does not ride. I actually find riding a bike thru the mountains less nerve wracking than drinving a vehicle cuz you have so much more road between you and the curb and you and the yellow line. Love ur 5th grader comment, no offence from me. (been there LOLOL). *'s4U ><>

joanie, you must be so excited - that is great - what a beautiful bike - I had no idea - that it would be that nice - no wonder you will not be buying a little 5x7 frame or larger - it will take alot to get this paid off. Have fun. Do you get this and the move? *4U

… Well, I thought he meant the Sewing Center I told him I wanted to stop in on the way back home. Then I look up, lo and behold it was Argyle Motor Sports. OF COURSE I did. Just thinking we would be looking, well before I knew it I’m sitting at a desk in an office to see if I could get a finance on a bike. WHOOO HOOO!!! I did. He put a down payment on it for me and I will be making the monthly payments. Then off to get insurance and registration. YIPPEE!! My Bike should be ready for pick up next Tuesday. I am sooo excited. I guess no new emb mach for some time, but this bike is well worth the wait for I was without for 3 summers now. Ok, now I know you ladies are just as excited about it as me and are just dying to know what I got. It is a 2008 Boulevard C50T, an 800cc. Red, white wall tires, saddle bags, windshield, back rest… Pls see this site and look on pg 3 and 12 at the red C50T and come and dance with joy with me (at least bikermomfl will ;) )
