Just remember,

Don't come crying to us when you start to miss tent camping, Port a Potties, sleeping in the dirt and leaves, the little critters that are looking for leftovers at the campsite, cold showers and the taste of those little black gnats that show up on your toothbrush after a 6 hour, 250 mile ride..........
Not to worry, Richard, there is NO WAY I'll be missing those days.

And for those who were wondering, yes, the bike sold. They were a wonderful couple and loved the bike even more in person than they did in the pics I sent. The bike was to be for him, since she had just learned to ride and was going to take over his current bike. Well...... they had about a 4 hour ride home, and when they got there they sent me an email. They said everything went smoothly on the ride home, but there was one problem. My heart stopped when I read that, but then I read on. He proceeded to tell me that when they got home, the wife wanted to take the bike for a ride around the block. She donned the matching helmet that was part of the deal - and didn't come back for 30 - 45 minutes! He said he fears they have just bought her a new bike and he will be keeping custody of the one he had that she was going to get. So if you can follow the he she in all this. I was so happy to hear they had such a serious problem.

They were a wonderful couple and I feel I did good by my bike. It was kinda like when someone has a cat or dog they need to put up for adoption. People come look and say they want it, but you know in your heart they won't provide a good home, so you hold on for longer than you thought, and then the perfect family comes along and you are soooo glad you waited because now you found the perfect home.

I feel my baby has found the perfect home.
