Harley Fever

We went to look at another Harley last night after work... This one's a 2001 Road King with 7800 miles. Looks like it'll be ours (or, I should say... his) before the week is out unless the bank doesn't like it. Stephen's pre-approved for a bike loan. And the asking price for this one is within it's book value range. So we don't foresee any problems. Stephen's now like a kid who just won the candy lottery. The fact that he's been trying to get another Harley for the past 17 years probably has something to do with that. Let's just say... he's pleased.

Now to buy a helmet and some leather....

BTW, the color in this photo (which was on its craigslist posting) shows it to be a little brighter than it's actual green. It's more of a forest green than teal... We both like it better in person. Alicia thinks it's loud (the pipes, not the color).

According to folks here, we're having an unusually cold March. Most years, people are already out on motorcycles in March. Not many out there this March. It'll probably be another few weeks before he can get out there and ride. His buddy from work has just ordered a Harley which won't be delivered till some time this summer. But that'll give him a riding buddy. They've also both joined the Defense Force, but Neil will be at a company in Anchorage where Stephen's battalion is in Wasilla. (I'm just throwing those companies and battalions in there... I have no idea.)
