Well I don't know exactly how to say this but, I sold the speedy on Sunday before Halloween. Right now, I'm past the stage of denial and starting to feel acceptance. Anyhow, many of you know I've been on a serious quest to get a Rocket 3 Touring and I've stated I was going to keep both bikes for various reasons. I actually really wanted to keep my beloved beauty that I have loved so much but the more I thought about it, the more it didn't make sense for the position of life I'm in. I wouldn't have been able to comfortably afford to keep both bikes on the road at the same time and even if I could, the speedy would have to go in and out through the basement which would have been very inconvenient and a deterent. I'm sad she's gone, but I think this was the right way to go for me. I sold her for kbb retail value and got what I bought her for so all in all, I'm happy with that. It sucks not having a ride right now and the weather has been awesome lately making it even harder. Anyway, I'm not leaving and will continue to check in with some regularity. I'm very anxious and can't wait to....ahem...upgrade....ahem...to the r3t. Just kidding guys, yes, I'm an arse. Anyhow, none of dealers in St. Louis have any right now and I'm also looking at Classifieds but I want 09 and above. Really having a hard time finding one that is convenient to purchase. I'd like to find one within 600 miles or so because I'd like to see what I'm buying in person. Well, that's the news and I'm sure I'll miss my beloved speedy...just hope I don't regret it...TOO much.
Her fate may be interesting. The guy that bought it was buying it for a bar called the Shaved Beaver in Everton, MO where it would become a showpiece placed over or on the stage. He also said after seeing it, he may keep it for himself but he's not sure until he spends some time on it. I'll keep ya posted if it ends up in the bar.
