We then went on to a nice Punjabi restaurant and got the banquet, I always get worried when people want to order the banquet because the vegetarian selection isn't always great but last night there were a few vegetarians in the group so it worked out perfectly.
This morning we went to the local market to get our veggies for the week and I decided to pop in to the Yamaha dealer across the road and sitting outside was this really nice Dyna Super Glide 1998 with only 46,000ks on it, there were wonderful Harley details, the saddle was a Harley custom made as were the saddle bags...it was a gorgeous black with just enough chrome to get it noticed. I wandered inside to see if I could get a glimpse of the owner but there was no one around, I spoke to the Yamaha guy and he said the Harley was for sale for $15,500....I was so tempted. I had a good look at it and he started it up, it had that distinctive Harley sound that stops everyone in their tracks and sends a shiver down my spine...I so wanted to buy it there and then but the voice of reason came into my head.....you have no job yet, there is no money coming in and there is a puddle of oil under the bike! I backed away slowly trying to convince myself that the fluid dripping from the bike and collecting on the floor was not a good sign!
I have to prioritize things and unfortunately my bike is not very high on my necessities list! When the time is right the bike will appear....and there will be no puddle of oil under it!
For those of you riding, have fun and ride for those of us who are currently bikeless!!
I admire your resistance to temptation in affirming your priorities until you get settled upon returning home. While that Harley was tempting, your restraint is admirable. Likely, though, the oil leak is just one of those typical things that many Harleys have, and is repairable. Though, at this point, you have other priorities to deal with. Thanks for sharing your thoughts -- I can definitely understand your feelings!
