This was a major step. I was torn between taking my precious 2006 1100cc Honda Shadow Spirit with me to Las Vegas or not. I'd have loved to have it out there, but I don't want to go through the hassle of putting it on a trailer and hauling it. I have this vision of rolling in there with virtually no possessions and a big enough bankroll to make me less vulnerable to drastic swings. I'd not ridden it much in the 3 or 4 years that I had it (2180 miles), but I can't help but think that I'd have ridden it more in the Vegas environment.
The gentleman that bought it was smallish. His feet didn't quite reach the ground, but he's in his mid-fifties and my political leanings require everyone to be responsible for themselves, sooooo, sure Stan, I'll sell it to you. When he came over to get it, he seemed concerned about not having a helmet to ride back with. I offered to ride it over to his house and I think he was a little offended. I failed to explain that it was because he didn't have a helmet and I did, which ultimately would mean I was questioning his riding skills. Sorry Stan. Didn't mean it that way. Take care of her and keep the rubber side down.
Well, good-bye my sweet sweet motorcycle. Perhaps I'll buy one of your brothers in Vegas.
