Now that the bonuses have come through and we got a couple bucks in the old checking account, what better than to drive 100 miles to the nearest big town (yes 100 miles) and spend that money!
So, we hopped in the truck with the boys and drove out to Cheyenne, which is the nearest town that has a Circuit City. I was interested in projector TV's and the wife wanted to look at laminate flooring. She hates the house but thinks we might be able to spruce it up a bit if we could just get rid of the old crappy carpeting.
One other thing that Cheyenne has is a motorcycle dealership or two. Well, I would have kicked myself if I went all the way to the big city and not looked at bikes.
To make a long story short (hah!), here's what my next bike is going to look like:
It's a Honda 1300 VTX, and as you can see, it's lime green! Oh, it's beautiful all righty. I'm going to have to make a couple of modifications, like change the handle bars, the seat and add some floorboard pedals, a windshield and saddlebags, but you get the idear.
As a reminder, here's my current ride:
(Who IS that cool kid??)
Anyway, it will be a few weeks yet before I can actually get the bike as we have to agree on trade in amounts, and the cost of all the mods. In the meantime, I have my jpegs to keep my warm at night.
On a side note, we didn't get a HD projector or any laminate flooring, or even any new carpet. We DID eat some fantastic Mongolian Grill, and enjoyed a little Baskin Robbins.
Watch this space for news concerning the new bike!
