The parting

My new years resolution this year was to stop being so attached to things. I thought about it for a few weeks... Hey, I've got two bikes and two Blazers... Shouldn't I only have one of each? By thinking this I immediately told myself if you thought this, it must be right, right? So, which Blazer and which bike to go? On the Blazer, I've got one that my dad bought in '79. How much more sentimental can you get? I practiclly grew up in that thing! Then there is the new to me Blazer. It is way more solid of a truck, better engine, better transmission, newer this that and all. So what's it gonna be, sentimental or sound? Being as I plan on keeping one of them forever, I'm going with sound. My Pops and I have been through alot with that ol' Blazer, lots of memories, both good and bad. That's just it. Memories. I think some other father and son need to get the truck and let it create memories for them. I've hogged it enough.
  The CB750 below was bought because it was a good deal, and because it is a '73 (the year I was born).  I almost feel I need to part with it before I end up looking at it like it's the Blazer (to prove a point). I'll still have a Blazer, and I'll still have a bike. But for now, I have two of each. Come on craigslist. Hate to see them go, but I'm looking at it like I am hoarding someone elses future memories...

Hitched

Sunday October 23, 2011. My buddy Brandan, who is like a cousin to me, marrys Meghan. The wife (pictured on the left) and I borrrowed John's '49, equipped with 15 Dr Pepper cans to trail us, to drive off the newly weds. I had the best time I've had in a long time. Something about being surrounded by good people in good spirits... I saw people I hadn't seen in 20 + years. Stories of memories past, and of memories to come. Congratulations to the newlyweds. (And thanks Johhny for loaning me the ride at the last minute!)

DFW - Detroit - DFW

Left DFW on a late flight after work on Saturday. Pop's left Fort Worth on Wednesday (3 days ahead of me). He picks me up at the DTM Airport at almost midnight. We get up on Sunday and head on over to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. After a long day of soaking up some of Michigan's sights we head on over to Carl's and pick up my newest purchase... Get a good night's sleep... And  Truck it on home to the DFW. Great trip, great weather, and great people... oh, and great purchase!
picked it up on 9-11


finally made it home

back to the good ol' homestead!

1973

1973 Electra Glide

the one on the left

Donald's old hardtail.


Stumbled upon a 1973 FLH. Everything about it sounds just right. Even the price! Shook hands with the owner over the phone. Now all I have to do is come up with the dough. Selling the one on the left and Donald's old hardtail to aquire the FLH. The old K5 used to belong to my dad and has been in the family for 32 years. I never, NEVER, ever thought I'd be parting ways with this old pal of mine. I grew up in that truck and have a shit-ton of memories with that thing. I'l be really sad to part ways with the family truck, but I have plenty of memeories both good and bad. As for Donald's old hardtail, we made some memories too.

The one that got away

Craigslist ad: 1961 Honda Dream 305. 20,000 miles, electric start, new tires, ride her home $1,200 obo. I wasn't in the market for one of these, but I thought it was a great deal... I was next in line and the guy ahead of me payed full asking price. Oh well, do I really need another bike....
