May of 2001 I wanted to get back into motorcycles.I looked all over the place for a new Harley but could not find anything in my price range.I ended up buying a 2000 Yamaha Road Star in Tuson Az. ,flew out from Houston on a Monday morning and the owner picked me up at the airport. Took me over to his house and I bought the motorcycle.On the flight to Tuson I was trying to think when the last time it was that I rode,wow 18 years ago was just about right. I was just a little nervous. Well he told me how to get to I 10 and i took off to Houston. I stopped in El Paso Monday evening and spent the night. Tuesday morning I left El Paso and that evening I spent the night in San Antonio,left their Wednesday morning and road on in to Alvin where I live just south of Houston. The three days on my ride was just fine,the sky was blue and the weather was beautiful. It made me wonder why it took so long to get back into something that I really enjoy.
November the 10th some of the guys at work told me that Goe HD in Angleton, Texas had a new FLHTC, just like I wanted in the first place, at a price that I could afford. The 13th I went down to look at it and picked it up the 14th. A 2002 luxery blue pearl Electraglide Classic.
I am riding with some bros to Daytona in March and planning on a 25 day trip the end of July to Califoria, up the west coast to Washington, then to Sturgis, to Las Vegas, back to Poway, Cal., then back to Houston. It should be about a seven thousand mile trip. I hope my butt can stand it.
I thought that I would keep the Road Star for a day rider but the Harley rides so good I can't wait to sell the Yamaha to give me some traveling money. LOL
That's my story and I'm stickin to it!
Wishing everyone good riding and good weather.
