Four years ago today, 03/15/11

I totaled my 2007 Nomad on the way home from work. Two weeks later, after the insurance company settled my claim, I purchased my 2011 HD Ultra Limited.

Has the foot healed enough for you to ride it?

Chesters has a new Limited in a radioactive green. I figured since you like the off colors, give it a look. I am surprised it's sat this long, but someone told me green is a bad luck color for bikes. That doesn't make sense, but it could make for a good deal. I guess Chester's like to order variety. Seems like other dealers don't.

White and silver's no lucky charm.

I do love this green. So tempting.

That was the talk way back in the 60's when I first started riding.

The first Nomad was green and it was a pretty bike.

Nope, foot still not healed enough to ride. It is getting better though, just very slowly. I haven't been able to ride since July 29 of last year.

That stinks. Hope it heals to where you will be able to get out soon.
