Two Years In

yup i was born in 1988

My most interesting memory of the transaction purchasing the bike was that, when I showed up with the money, I could tell that after a week of mulling it over since we had made the deal while I was travelling, he had some second thoughts about selling. I went for a brief test ride just to make sure that the bike was up to snuff. When I returned, he said that I hadn't ridden it long enough... he insisted that I take it out for a longer ride, and to get it up to speed on the freeway, since I might not like riding it at highway speeds. I went for a second test ride, and insisted that I still wanted to buy it. He said that if I had any reservations by the time I took the somewhat long ride to get it home, that he'd take it back and refund my money, no questions asked. I told him that I was sure that I'd be happy with it.

My wife had driven us to the owner's house, so that I could ride the bike home, and she'd follow me just to make sure that I got it home OK. It was dark by the time we signed the paperwork and got on the road, and on the way home, I noticed that one of my wife's tail lights was out.

CJ, our company operates two sportsman-level organizations, the NMRA Ford Nationals, which is an all-Ford racing series, and the NMCA Muscle Car Nationals, an all-domestic brand series. At this event, we run both series together, with specialty classes for Ford, GM and Mopar cars. Sadly, this was our last race at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, as the track is shutting down soon to be converted to either residential or commercial use to support a new factory being built nearby.

Thanks for the anniversary props!

1992... That's about the time my first wife was telling me that no, she wouldn't let me have a motorcycle. So... yeah.

Hey, CJ, I know that car. We have it in the permanent collection at the Petersen Museum. Notice the windshield wiper and marker lights. That's a road-legal Batmobile that was built to be shown around the country to promote the Michael Keaton-era Batman movies of the early '90s.
