My FIL bought a new Harley Sportster today. Its a 2004 with only 5,000 miles on it. He is so excited! He didn't want to get off the thing. The bike was delivered the our house this afternoon by the kid he bought it from. My FIL hasn't been on a bike in over 20 years. So, the first step was to test it around the block. He made it back in one piece and he was so happy that his body was shaking when he pulled back in the driveway.
Then he wanted to go a little further, so went around a few blocks. Then his comfort zone kept getting bigger and bigger, but he never left town. All of his old tricks and knowledge about motorcycles came flooding back as he kept riding. Each time he would ride, it would become more and more like second nature. He was so adorable on it!
He doesn't know if he can sleep tonight he told me. He wants to go outside and polish it all night. Oh, he's never going to have enough of it! I don't think we will be seeing much of him around the house until the cold months roll around. He's even talking about riding it to VT to see his brother. I don't know if he's ready for that yet, but at least his spirit is there!
