Send me five quarters in a self addressed stamped envelope and I will send you a crisp one dollar bill.  Problem solved and you can get rid of your grumpy face  ;D

Change aint always bad, and no I am not referring to the twit in the Oval office. I will be sure to post a pic of the change, should it occur.

The only change that happened today was........what the hell was I thinking? The C14 is still in the garage, and we "re-bonded" over a 500 mile trek today. I am afraid it is a keeper......oh darn. ;)  The potential owner didn't like it, so I will just keep it now. Lets see if I can actually keep a bike for longer than 5 years, if any bike has a chance it will be this one. I think today was a sign, so I am listening. Now to get a few farkles I have been putting off.....life is good.  :thumbs:

If you sold the 14, you would have to get back on a Strom. I often think about going back to a smaller bike...but this thing is still such a hoot.
 
Just about to turn 20k miles. The last two bikes hit 42k (VL800) and 46k (DL1000) before I traded them; got another 20k to start thinkin'.

Funny......that is exactly what I was looking to trade for today. I would never go back to the 1000, the 650 is a much better bike and platform IMHO, hence why I was looking at getting a 650. I really like that new 2012 model, but I was looking at a 2011 today. Rode a helluva long way for the gentleman to not like my C14, but I am actually really happy in a way :)   Sometimes things are meant to be, and sometimes they aren't. I still do have a thing for the Strom I must say, maybe I will just "add" one to the stable someday.
