I did it! I bought my third bike (and my first new one)!
Meet the 2013 Softail Slim!
I took these last 2 pictures with my cell phone, and since I’m one of the few people left on the earth who doesn’t use an iPhone, the photography isn’t the greatest … but the bike totally is!!
Can you tell I’m happy?
The dealer is having to add a riser to bring the handlebars closer to me (short arms), is moving the brake closer to me (short legs), and is changing out the grips (small hands). Because I like to travel, I am also adding a windshield, saddle bags, and engine guard. I hope to bring the bike home in a week.
I CAN’T WAIT!!
I sure am going to miss my sweet little Sportster though …
Aaahh I’m SO happy for you Laurie. That’s one crazy good lookin bike!
It’s good to dream, but even better to have dreams come true!!
So true, Meg!! and yes! It is a crazy good lookin’ bike! Love that all my girl blogging friends are so excited for me (see other comments)!
Congratulations! It’s a beauty.
Yes, it is a beauty!! Thanks Mae (and my friend that I mentioned in a previous comment asked for your blog link … I know she will find comfort and encouragement from you!)
Congratulations Laurie, I can tell you’re over the moon. I don’t know anything about bikes but it’s awesome that they can adjust everything for you. That’ll make for a safer ride and probably more comfortable too. Happy travels.
Thanks so much! I need to decide where I go for my first long trip. Possibilities!!
Congratulations! Excited for you and hope you have many happy travels with your new bike!
Thank so much for being excited with me! I can’t wait to bring the bike home
