No seat for you!

I was referring to HDs, in particular, in that phrase.
And the Savage seeps as well as any them, as we all well know.
I'll miss you guys. Some of you are like Mounds, some are like Almond Joys. And some more than others.
I'll tell you what... There is NO V-Star BBS anywhere as good as this place. That's the strength provided by having a little bike that has little support from manufacturers or even the dealer has made an incredible forum of incredible people helping each other out.
It'll hurt to sell ol' Sookie, but really, I've not got a garage and I really wouldn't end up riding it much, as I liked the ride and handling on the V-S THAT much. I never knew bike that size was so lithe, it was like it had a gyroscope in it. BTW, I'm calling it, "The Redbird."
In a few days I'll post a few parts in the for sale column. I've a set of new ME880s that I never installed, and the GTS seat. I know the neither of them would get me any more moolah from it, and I'd really rather see you guys get them. I also want to take a few more pix before reverting it. I tell you, painting the battery case black is a knockout improvement in visual balance.
Anyway, I'll be around for few more weeks and will stop in for time to time anyway, just to see who died, who got married, who switched bikes.
Besides, I made a donation and have to get my money's worth.
