That's crazy. Two days later, they finally drop it into the thread?
Wow.
Anyway, I doubt I will stop reading MCD, or posting there. Force of habit, I suppose. These days, I don't bother posting to every thread. This new Harley thing, however, simply blows my mind. It's borderline larceny, and so poorly executed.
Imagine if a Japanese manufacturer attempted to foist such a concept onto its customer base. Can you ever picture Honda doing such a thing, including making it non-compliant for California emissions?
As for posting here, man, this really hurts. In an effort to sell my bike, I just posted a thread in the Classifieds section here. It makes me sick to my stomach. Such an empty feeling. My emotions literally ache at the thought of selling this bike, and of the loss of so many other basic aspects of living my normal life, all because some eighty-five-year-old who shouldn't have been allowed to drive decided to choose me in order to prove it.
Back when I sold my '94 VFR, my wife cried. I was a motorcycle lifer, and sold bikes for a living, so she was well used to such things, but she really loved that one bike. She wasn't a crier, either, but she cried when we said goodbye to our beautiful red jewel.
Now I feel the same. The enormity of what's happened to me finally hit me, when I posted that accursed ad. I don't want to give her away. Even worse, I don't want to be FORCED to give her away.
It just isn't right.
