Bummed out
« on: May 12, 2009, 05:24:21 AM »
So my Dad decided that he needed a new bike to ride while he was hanging out with his ALR friends. So him and my mom went to Worth HD in Kansas City and bought a brand new '09 Super Glide Custom. It is a very good looking bike. The problem is that Dad offered to sell me his '03 Sportster 883 with 7500 miles on it for $3000. :o That was last friday, and he said I needed to let him know by today. Well I work third shift and at 7am this morning my boss came around and layed off all but 2 of us, and us 2, along with everybody left on day shift is getting cut back to 32 hours a week >:(. I normally get 42.5 hrs +. So I had to call him and tell him that I couldn't buy it from him. He really sounded disappointted, he really wanted me to get it so we could go riding together. This sucks. :(

  Sometimes, you just gotta find a way to get things that momentarily seem out of reach.

Today I decided that I was going to buy the bike anyways. I had to work a couple of things out and convince the wife, but I got all the loan papers taken care of and bought it. The only problem now is when I called him to let him know my sister answered the phone and told me that he went fishing. So now I will have to call back later. No big deal
