If I listened to other people's opinion of me, I might think I was more nuts than I am. I've let it leak out that, despite being put in the hospital by a truck and having my first motorbike seriously hammered by same truck, I intend to get onto another motorbike and continue riding. Yeah, they think I'm nuts. Fortunately, I do not listen to them.
My wife understands best of all: she knows I'm not anymore crazy than I've been, and that I'm not out to "prove anything". I just like to ride my MB sometimes. When I had the first one, it was my preferred transportation. I think that'll be the case again.
The Higgins, that I'll be riding once the tank is finished, is not just going to be beautiful - it'll be even more comfortable than the first Tempus. It'll perform better. And it's a more solid and better alligned bike overall. In short, it'll be a better ride.
I'm a father of four of the most beautiful daughters in the world. My only other vehicle is a Dodge Caravan. Those things are wonderfully reliable. But they do not count as "fun" in my book. But the MB? Well, there's fun!!!
