litch field, il. ride

[Snarley Bill]

just got back from litchfield. it was almost the ride from hell both ways. as bad of wind as i ever rode in, a little rain, and slightly cool, thought sure it looked like snow. saw one of my favorite venture riders there, roadkill. did have a good time when i got there. any one who did'nt make it, was alot smarter than me, lots of bikes, several hundred. i got hung up on this awesome goldwing that was loaded with all the bells and whistles. burgandy 2008,the sales men were all busy all day so i could'nt do any dealing. could'nt even get a price. i figure at least $23,000. fell in love with it as soon as i walked in the door. thought what a surprise that would be for my wife. figured i could leave my v-star there and drive back tomorrow and pick it up. spent a good hour and a half trying to get a price, no such luck. so i think while i'm waiting maybe i ought to sit on one just for the heck of it to see if it fits. guess what major disappointment very cramped for space. handle bars to close. no leg room, just did'nt have the best ergonomics. so i climbed on my vstar and headed for home in the wind ,$23,000 + dollars better off. good thing because my wife went to the mall and spent all my extra money for this week. fancy that. bill:2133:

It was good to see you too my friend. As far as the wind, I can think of a few times I've road when it was as bad or worse, but not alot. I stopped back by my dealer in Springfield, IL for their Customer Appreciation days and let him appreciate me:rasberry: and feed me a free hot dog. I taking my RSV back in on Tuesday eve for its 36000 mile service so they will get to appreciate me even more

 

Looking forward to the St.Charles M&E

 

Later.
