new bike. (maybe)
« on: May 26, 2013, 07:36:05 PM »
I been browsing for a new bike for while now. I'm thinking about a cruiser or a rocket. I been eyeing the Harley fanboy but I seen a new Indian? What a great looking bike besides being an awesome cruiser.  My second choice is a Italian MV Agusta F4 this baby is sex on wheels. The Indian is around 25k to 35k while the Agusta F4 is 25k.


I'm being treated for cancer with a good chance of beating it, if I do beat and win this battle I will ride again. That's my reward.

Yep, you'll beat it for sure.  I just finished my 9 weeks of daily radiation with a good prognosis.  My reward was a 2013 Yamaha.  Not near the bikes you are considering, but still something to get be back into life full throttle.

I recommend the Fatboy. I always feel better when I ride mine.

Here's hoping you make it. A Suzook 1250 Bandit would be a fine reward... comfy, torquey, and fast. Get one new for under 10 grand.
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

Our prayers for your speedy and solid recovery.   If you want to see something sexy under 15K, check out this Indian.  Fella brought it to the North East Grand Nationals, and I was blessed to see it yesterday.

Yep, 1911, you will beat it.  Do what the docs say and you will win for sure.  I've prayed that is so. 

When I first learned I had cancer, I didn't get depressed.  I always thought I would if it happened to me, but I did not.  I understood then as I do now it was a correction from God.  This sounds weird (as my wife has told me a hundred times), but I was actually glad it happened; it told me plainly God loved me enough to correct me, and if He loved me that much, He would certainly keep me on earth a few more years.   

Back to the point, I promised myself a lightweight cruiser after the 44 radiation treatments.  The treatments left me too weak to be confident in holding up a bigger bike.  I needed a low seat and light weight.  After researching, I ended up with the VSTAR touring 950.  It took me a while to re-learn low speed turning, but I finally got it figured out.  I put a Mustang seat with driver's backrest on it and have been to several states so far. 

Also, I found out real quick that potent pain medicine and motorcycles do not mix.  The hydrocodone is for another condition I have.  About half an hour after taking it, I get "weirded out" for 15 or 20 minutes.  No time to be driving. 

I reckon I got off topic.  I love to talk about what God did for me.  When you've been corrected, there's no doubt in your mind that it IS a correction and not just a sickness.  He tells you that plainly when He does it.
