Looks like we are only bringing one home. Story and pics to follow...paperwork is a bear

 

[NauticalGent]

Since it is a floor model (2022), the mechs have to give it a once over and it is too late in the day. Not impressed with this dealership.

 

[NauticalGent]

This is the one we bought. Missy is a little intimidated but we will get her there. The plan was for her to take it home but it looks like it will be me once the dealership gets their act together

Dude, you've dropped some lbs.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Congrats on your purchase.

Lol, when did you see a picture of me when I was heavier?

83lbs, about 3 more to my goal of 185

Ah...yep, I was tipping the scales at about 265 then.

How long did that take?

 

[NauticalGent]

Started Sep 5th, program called Optavia. It has some negative press but it works. I'm in the transition phase now to determine my Body-mass Index (BMI) so we will see if I can keep it off.

Good program, but it ain't cheap!

 

[Jon]

That is bloody amazing, I have to say. Well done!

Welcome to the IMRC! You gonna love it.

I don't wanna hear how fat you used to be, I wanna hear some details.

Did ya add the bags? Delivery date?

It hit the mid 60's today so I was able to get out for a first ride. Felt good.

Hater...

We added a saddle bag and a passenger seat with token back rest. They wanted to charge a mint for installation so I will be doing it myself. We pick it up on Tuesday with a clean bill of health and a full tank of gas. The bike is hers...I saw a Cheif that was begging me to take her home..

It was nice here too...I was looking forward to taking a ride. Oh well, more good days to ride. So where are we meeting up?

 

[moke123]

Wow. No Harley. I'm happy for her.

And?

 

[NauticalGent]

And

Going to have to wait til I pay off the Forrester...about a year. Something tells me I'll be riding the Scout more than her

 

[moke123]

But I think I hear her calling your name. . .

 

[NauticalGent]

Have you riden one? If so, would you take it over the Scout? I rode the Scout on their course today...smooth!

 

[NauticalGent]

They had a Dark Horse there that was already sold. I may have been coerced into getting it

 

[moke123]

Have you riden one? If so, would you take it over the Scout?

I haven't but I'm always willing to upsize. I bought my Scout on a whim. I had a perfectly good bike at home. I always wanted an Indian and the only way I could justify paying cash for a new bike was to buy the least expensive model in the lines. Pretty happy with the Scout.

I'm thinking I'm going to try and control my urges for another year or so till retirement and then splurge a little.
