Fort Collins, CO.
OK Dad -- look what you've started!
Tim's new 2008 Harley Davidson Heritage arrived today just before 9 am. I guess it goes without saying we didn't sleep much last night. We were both up early. I've been after Tim to clean the driveway for about 2 weeks now. It finally got cleaned this morning, probably a little earlier than the neighbors would have preferred. I've made our apologies in that regard, but no one really seemed to mind.
Neighbor Al and son, John were nearby most of the morning. It was hard to contain the excitement as we waited for the Harley Davidson trailer to round the corner. Wes, the Harley delivery guy said this was his favorite part of the job. He's a really nice guy.
Well, we all had our pictures made with the new bike. John had to excuse himself for a few minutes so he could put on the Harley shirt I brought him recently from Red River Harley Davidson in Texas. Then, Tim took it down the street, s-l-o-w-l-y around the corner of the cul-de-sac and back up the drive and into the garage - grinning from ear-to-ear all the way. We called Mom and Dad in Texas to announce the new arrival to our household and the new addition to Dad's own personal and rapidly growing motorcyle club.
We spent a little time looking it over and maybe calming down over a cup of coffee or two. Afterwards, we buttoned up the garage and went shopping for gear. Helmet, leathers, gloves, boots. We found all but the boots which we'll get next week sometime. Neighbor LeAnn was over to look at the new bike as soon as we pulled in the driveway this evening. She said, Ah-Oh - this is going to be trouble... She may be right. Al is already saying I wanna... I wanna... I wanna... and John is saying yeah... yeah... yeah...
Tim took the Harley out for a second turn through the neighborhood this evening. Considering he's never ridden a real motorcycle, he did pretty well. He's one tired, but extremely happy Harley guy. Me, too. I'm a happy Harley Gal.
Now, we gotta find one for me, don't we Dad?
