No sooner did I post yesterday’s blog update than I started to receive emails are leading to something. Not exactly what I was looking for, but in the right direction. In a way, it is saddening, in that all the interest has been in my parts bike. I sold off the ignition coil yesterday. Someone is coming tomorrow to look at buying the parts bike in total. If I get my asking price, I will have made almost 3 times what I paid for it. And I would still have many great parts for my bike.
I have to admit that I am having second thoughts about selling. My wife has asked me if I am sure I want to sell. She is feeling better, since some time has now separated her from the accident. But, I know she would still be very uncomfortable with me riding.
But for me, the allure remains…
I am a 47 year old guy who has purchased my first motorcycle. One middle-aged guy, one old motorcycle and a total lack of experience! What could go wrong?
My Honda CM400T (Or E)
