Anyone who reads this blow-out will think back to the article "I Pity The Fool!" A lot has happened in my life in the past months and we did things that we did not want to do and are now trying to compensate for. I sold CC's bike and sold the chopper. I know, I regret doing, totally. We sold CC's bike for money, for what I don't remember. We sold the chopper for money and I though, "I can always build another chopper." This is true, but I wish I would have kept the chopper and sold the Magna. The fella that boutght the chopper has a brother that is going to help him build to his specs. He also works at Boswells Harley Davidson. Well now. Any way . . .

The thing I have to do now is build another chopper the cheapest way possible. Even thoght the thing is still to have a Harley I will not go there for the same reasons I have always decided not to have a Harley. So I will chop the Magna! It won't be like the straight four honda, but hey - I own it and I can't find another rigid straight four anywhere. They are HARD to find now days. I will have to write about it as it progresses. A WORD OF ADVICE, DON'T SELL A CHOPPER YOU LOVE. YOU WON'T FIND IT AGAIN . . . UNLESS YOUR JUST DAMN LUCKY.

As far as CC's bike goes, I am going to buy it back ASAP. She misses it and I regret again selling the bike. Those split decissions about money can make you think stupid you know.

What lead to all this about selling bikes? I got the new baby and a new house and a new job. There seems to be too little time to ride, but that leaves a lot of time to chop. The fact is that you can own too many motorcycles. Find one you love and keep it and add to it and never sell it. It will become a classic in its own time. Let the spirits be free and ride what they please.

Oh, buy the way, the new E-MAIL ADDRESS IS ONLY1REDBIRD@HOTMAIL.COM. Hell, I miss that chopper. See you all out there on the road.
