HEY STEVE, WHAT YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT?
and I rode to an early meeting
Decided to slip by Florida Motor Sports,
where I had bought my Suzuki five years before.
While strolling through the maze/display of bikes,
I heard the voice--a salesperson:
"Hi Steve, What brings you here today?"
"--grin! Just stopped by to have a free cheeseburger."
"When you going to trade in that old scooter?"
"Well, I WOULD like a brand new bike exactly like the one I'm riding, but in white instead of old dirty grey--and I see you do not have that."
(WHITE is easy for drivers to see a biker at night.)
In the service area, a mechanic was that very moment
uncrating a beautiful white Suzuki Burgman 650cc, ZERO miles. As you see from the shot above, a happy guy is sitting atop his new bike, christened FLEX II--
I feel like the alcoholic who has absolutely no defense against that first drink, which has been waiting for him all those so many sober years...I had no thought whatever to buy a bike this week. Maybe a lesson for me here?
Thank God I don't have to celebrate with a case of quarts of cheep vodka....or four gallon jugs of White Port HAHA!
(Heck, now I cannot
even afford a
gallon of gas
to run the thing!)
It's 2 AM. Wishing I didn't have to get some sleep right now. Go riding instead.
Well, my friends, be happy with me. Wishing everyone a stressless, peaceful, joyful weekend. Thank You, God!
Love,
Steve E
ha - smiles... you and the scooter look great together... so i hope you bought a helmet for that angel as well.. ? smiles...
ReplyDeletehave fun with the new scooter steve... i need to take my road bike to the mechanics today cause the chain keeps springing off... i hope i don't leave with a new bike, you know...smiles
still using old red helmet. A friend tells me he wears a white helmet, while riding his white bike, and people in front of him always are slowing. They believe he's a cop. Then he passes them up!
DeleteWhite helmet on the way. thanks. POST PICTURE OF THAT NEW BIKE PLEASE! Oh! Ya DIDN'T get it? Well, ya came close.
Congratulations on the new bike! Nice to be able to treat oneself on occasion.
ReplyDeleteMary, you right. Sometimes it is difficult ro "receive", but as long as I know whence it came, all is well! Thank you,
DeleteNice bike. Glad that you had a great Fourth.
ReplyDeleteSyd, happy to "see" you. I check on you periodically also--hope life is as God intended (How else COULD it be?) I'll visit (blog) this weekend for sure!
Deletecool new bike fiddle man...so now you need to break it in with a road trip right? smiles...cant wait to see that one in the drive....took the boys 4 wheeling yesterday...i rode a dirt bike and they are all about wanting one now too....
ReplyDeleteEvery boy (or girl?) need something with a motor attached, right?
DeleteThey might now realize that God did not say, "NO!" He simply said, "Wait a few years, boys. OK?!"
Dirt bike? Hmmmm. White IS hard-to-keep-clean. And...as BUSY as I am!!!!! Smiles to YOU!
Cool! Love it when HP does that stuff Christmas in July!
