I truly enjoyed this site and if it's ok with you all I will continue to lurk and enjoy this site. Cheers Bob Grossi

As far as I am concerned; lurk and enjoy all you want, and contribute when you can. And congratulations on the baby.

Hey Bob
Enjoy life with your family buddy.
You're in that lucky position to be having a baby and good luck to you and yours in the future.

I wonder when Brent or Eddie will start selling baby stuff? Just think of the upgrades and mods you will have to do to your stock kiddo.  Congrats and best wishes for the growing family!

Hey thanks,our boy's name is Matthew.He is 9 months old now.
I just turned 48.my wife is 37.
we have been married 13 years and here we are. We planned for him so so far so good.
Hey I got $4900.00 for the bike.I think he got a deal cause the bike was still mint..and I threw in accessorie lights and clock still in box.
I figured if I was going to sell it I needed to just do it and not look back.
The guy has wanted a b/a for a while.He said how he tried to get one in 2002 and we all know what happend then.
He took a few years off riding and now you will probably have a new member to the site soon.

Like the Austin Healey club, just cause you sell the car (as I had to), doesnt mean you loose the membership. Dont lurk! Be a part! You'll get your bike back someday, and in the mean time, enjoy the baby. They grow up fast.
For me, I hope I can get my Healey back some day. For now, I crew chief for my best mate's 58 sprite vintage racer.

Hey Bob. I bought your bike.
Bob, just curious, how did you advertise your bike for sale? (so I know where to go!)
And, freddyknuckles, sounds like you got a sweet bike, enjoy!
